    mash timings breakdown (for school night BIAB)

    You are right the iodine starch test doesn't test for dextrines etc as these are not starches! At amylase rests, proteinases are pretty much denatured. To be honest at homebrewer level you don't even need the mash out step as you are getting your wort up to boil quickly - think a commercial...

    mash timings breakdown (for school night BIAB)

    Get a tincture of iodine or use betadine at a pinch (I have used this) and do a starch conversion test. Take a small amount of wort and put it on a white plate. Add a drop of iodine. If it is purple you need to leave it for longer. If it is brown you are good to go and ramp to mash out. It...

    Better head in beers using BIAB

    Barls got it in one. Add some wheat. Even plain old flour in the mash according to my Uni Lecture. Lots of foam positive proteins there.

    10 minute IPAs are good for school night brewing

    I haven't been on AHB for a while as the Ballarat Uni Brewing course satisfies (and then some) my thirst for information/knowledge in brewing. The key thing about boiling the wort is that it is not necessarily all about time but the vigour or turbulence of the boil (temp if you are under...

    Yep. If I didn't have family to keep me inline I think there would be many an hour propped up at the Hogshead Bar.

    SEQ who needs grain

    Angus The weyermann ale malt is listed in the bulk buy table on craft brewer. It is the second line in the weyermann section. Same line as bo pils and premium pils. $53 per sack. I should have said Ale malt and not pale malt in the list.

    Old Ale that is now 2 years old. Bottle conditioned and around 9%. This has now come of age. Great sherry/port notes and very easy drinking - dangerous!

    Brisbane water test results

    OK that makes some sense. They have tested for CaCO3 literally! I ran a check after writing the previous post with my aquarium kit and it came in at around 70ppm. The kit is only accurate to the nearest 10ppm. I don't test it much at all for brewing. I make the assumption that Brisbane water...

    Just read this topic so apologise for the late reply. There appears to a lot of confusion with terminology and units of measurement in this post that I hope I can clarify. A lot of the units of measurement and terminology are a result of history and don't necessarily reflect the methods used...
