I'm using the Grainfather and associated app and calculator

I recently did a brew with 6.5kg grain bill and it used a lot less water than that. I recently did an all grain brew with a 6.5kg grain bill. My calc suggested just over 32l all up (strike and sparge water). I ended up with 24.5l post boil and just under 22l in the fermenter (OG 1.070). My...

and the problem is? :)

And the problem is? :)

Here's the first grain I milled for my very first batch of beer last weekend. Performed very well in the Grainfather. It's Joe White Pilsener.

I did the same, but I'm finding the first pour from it after its been sitting for anymore than a couple of hours tastes off. It's only what's in the lines.

They're all proper poly beer lines...

The keg and lines are brand spankin' new...which, of course, could also be the problem.

Thanks...I currently drink lots of soda water made with a soda stream, but this has a more chemical taste. I'm thinking it might be the lines, as they are brand new. I let them sit with water in them overnight and poured a small jug from it, which still had the taste. The second pour tasted...

Sorry for being late to the party, but even after reading this post, as entertaining as it was, I still have a couple of questions. I have recently hooked up a 19l keg of water to my Keg King fridge. I chilled it for a few days first (fridge says 1-3 degrees, but not sure about the contents of...

The pump is for pumping cooling water through the walls of the Grainfather fermenter to maintain fermentation temp, so I need it regardless of the method.

I like many of the IPAs. I have never brewed a beer in my life, yet. I am waiting for my cooling water pump to arrive so that I can get started. I will be starting with a SMaSH (Galaxy/pilsener malt) as my first attempt. I've also been recommended to start with kits and non-grain recipes, but...

Thanks. I was hoping and suspected that was the case, but do you think I could find that information anywhere?

Sorry if it's self evident to others, but as a newbie, I'm a bit baffled. I have just set up my new Keg King three tap fridge. After lots of homework and some advice, we decided to install two regulators, so we can have one keg at a different pressure than the other two kegs connected to the...

Thank for the tip. I'll do that.

Thanks. Who, or what, is Brewman?

Thanks for the feedback. I was wondering about the yeast. I have more, so will add two pks. Does adding hops at flameout give as a good a result as dry hopping? I am keen to keep the risk of spoiling as low as possible, so if this is a good alternative, it makes sense to me to do it this way. I...

Hi everyone. I have not yet brewed my first brew, but am looking to do a really hoppy IPA as a first try. I am after a fruity, non bitter brew. I have been reading extensively about everything from the the type of grain to use to the type of hops and when and how to use them. I have a...

Hi...I have just begun my home brewing journey and am hoping to get some great advice and tips from others on this forum. I have just purchased the grainfather unit with the GF fermenter. I have never brewed a batch before, but decided to start where I wanted to finish and that was with all...
