    Show us your grain crush

    So after reading a lot about grain crush and whether or not it too fine, or not fine enough, I thought I'd throw up a picture of my crushed grain to see what peoples thoughts are. This is for a Robobrew system. I usually get about 80% - 85% efficiency. Is this too fine?, too floury? Show us...

    Mash Out question

    So when mashing out, when do you start to increase the temp. Eg, recipe calls for a 90 min mash at 66 degrees, then mash out at 78 for 10 mins. My equip takes about 10 mins to increase the temp, so do I start the increase at 80 mins or at 90 mins?

    Help - Quick.

    I've just started the boil on my Dr Smurtos AG. The recipe called for 1g/l of Amarillo at 0 mins. Is this the pre or post boil volume that is usually referred too. I've got 55 mins left until either 29 or 25g go in.
