With my last 5 or so brew on the HERMS set up i have been getting atleast 2 or 3 points lower FG. Does anyone else notice they are getting a more fermentable wort when recirculating their wort? Mash temp is measured with the same equipment (accurate to .1 degree)

I have read Noonans, Palmers and various other books and searched on line a fair amout as well, but am still not 100% sure on the entire process of making water additions. I understand the mash PH is important and also various additios effect the flavour eg malty, hoppy flavours. If emulation...

Hi All My herms unit is into its maiden voyage atm. One question, my wort was exiting the HE at 66 degrees, the mash tun thermometer was only reading in the mid 50's . This continued for about 30 minutes. The temp probe is mounted in the exit of the HE and a PID turns the element on/off when it...

Im thinking of getting a few kilos of specialty grains (possibly 8 or 10 different) to keep on hand so i can put brews together anytime. What do you all think would cover most bases. Exclude HB choc and 150 Crystal as already in stock.
