    Poll how many step mash

    Ditto. Or, I make the recipes that mention it work..Or, at least try to.

    From some of the things I have seen online, I am not far out of style. Latest version tweaked:

    What are you drinking right now?

    I was wondering how good the APA was. I like places that make more sessionable, hoppy beers.

    I did want some of the plumby that you get in a Belgian. I think that might be interesting to mess with combining that with the banana/clove. That is why I had some of the specialty malts in there. I appreciate the article, and I might play around a little more. Now, I understand why they have...

    Over carbonated keg

    I got the clove I wanted off it. I didn't want a banana bomb. I think that is the one thing I did well with this beer.

    I hope everything is better with your health. I did build in a couple of pounds of Pils, but I wanted to get near the German 50% threshold for a Weiss. This much wheat is something different for me, and I was trying to learn a little something by playing around with a couple of ideas. Thanks. It...

    It is 13.25 with plenty of stuff that doesn't convert well. If I were using all Pils, that would be high. I know the conversion % is low. That is why I programmed the recipe the way I did. The wheat did not like me, so I set the efficiency quite low. It is trial and error and I try to do what...

    The efficiency is set very low. I did that from the results of the Hefe. 1.056 and1.015. If I get better conversion, the gravity will obviously be higher. Not a horrible amount of grain for BIAB.

    I haven't with the exception of the darker beers that use more grain. I start with a straight 8 gallons of spring water with whatever recipe, and I end up with 5-5.5 in the fermenter. I was going to use this as a starting point for a discussion for what I want and see if y'all had any...

    Yup. We all have to know what the quirks are of our systems. I do have weird issues converting adjunct and sometimes Munich with how I brew. Since I never used that much wheat, I did not know what would happen. Sometimes, it is trial and error.

    With the wheat, my issues weren't getting the diastatic power. It was with the conversation in the mash. My OG sucked. I thought I really fucked it up, but as I am drinking the Hefe, I got what I wanted with the clove balance. I just wish I got something a little stronger. This could be a Bob...

    Over carbonated keg

    I tasted it this morning. It actually is pretty good carbonated. It is very light though. Next time I will plan for the lower efficiency. I set the regulator high for this one. It works.

    Thanks y'all. Definitely food for thought. I may come up with a concoction that is kind of a mix. I may even try a Dubbel grain bill with the 300 yeast. That might be an interesting experiment.

    I haven't built one yet. I am looking for ideas of replacing some of the Munich with Pils, Vienna, or both and still be to style. I want single infusion. I do not want to step mash. This is why I am possibly looking to make something darker. Going dark should give the ability to put some...
