    Sous Vide wand as decoction mash?

    I guess my question is this. Would the super heated sous vide electrode heating the wort from 130 to 154 be roughly equivalent to the maillard reaction that takes place in the decotion boil? Any wort that comes in contact with the probe is essentially being boiled at the point of contact before...

    Sous Vide wand as decoction mash?

    Background, I'm a 3 gallon biab stovetop and sous vide brewer. I was just reading a festbier recipe that calls for a single decoction mash. If I followed the initial strike temperature of 130f and then set the sous vide to the target 154f would I get a similar result to pulling a thick 4qts to...

    OG Way lower than expected - how?

    It looks like you have a Diastatic Power problem. There is only 1.5 pounds of malted grains to convert an additional 2 pounds of adjuncts and if the steeping temp was low it may not have converted at all since you would have been in the protein rest temperature range. I know the Briess White...

    LalBrew Voss Kveik Dry Yeast Testimonial

    I use the dry Voss, or at least the first time I did, and I've been surpised by the lack of krausen. You'd think an aggressive yeast would drive more krausen formation. I've also noticed that beer made with this yeast are lacking head. My kolsch test was a really good example. The US-05...

    LalBrew Voss Kveik Dry Yeast Testimonial

    I just bottled a 1.045 gravity pale ale that took about 2 days maybe less to ferment with Voss. I pitched at 97F and put it my garage that goes from 91F first thing in the morning up to 108F by sunset (West facing). The warmest the ferment got was 101F. It tasted awesome at bottling.

    Im embarrassed to ask

    You could sell the yeti then purchase the freezer & controller. You'd probably have enough left over to buy grain & hops for a couple of batches!

    Im embarrassed to ask

    Look on fb market place for a cheap 5.0 cu. ft. chest freezer and then get a inkbird controller on Amazon...I mean you spent how much on that yeti?

    I'll look for a video on YouTube reviewing the anvil system because it does look sweet.

    Electric All in ones

    I've been debating whether or not to go to an all in one system. Like you I'm a half batch brewer (2.5-3 gallon batches) but I'm brewing on my stove... Sort of. I use a sous vide wand during my mash to hold the mash temperature and circulate the wort. Then I put my kettle on to the 3300 watt...

    Is it too late to harvest some VOSS?

    Here is a great podcast on harvesting kviek yeast. http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/6/1/7/6177ad9f8b8c9578/bbr07-09-20harvestkveik.mp3?c_id=77778278&cs_id=77778278&expiration=1596774718&hwt=a6aca18ac29c7575dd26cdb1a335ff39

    Bugs in the Grain at LHBS

    I store my grain in the garage, which here in AZ gets well above 120F. I haven't found any in my own stored grain. I just found this about making Munich Malts: The kilning process used to produce Munich malt gives rise to the unique properties characteristic of the malt type. Initially Munich...

    What's it like cleaning the Gigawort? Do you use a brew bag since it doesn't have a sparge basket?

    Bugs in the Grain at LHBS

    I'm preparing an Oktoberfest brew day tomorrow and realized I had purchased Weyermann Dark Munich (only 10L) instead of the Briess Munich 20L I usually use as part of my recipe. I ran over to my LHBS and alas they didn't have any Munich 20L but did offer me GoldSwaen Munich Light (30L). I...

    LalBrew Voss Kveik Dry Yeast Testimonial

    Follow up: I do prefer the version of this beer fermented cool with US-05 over the Voss version. The US-05 was more crisp(though same finishing gravity) and had a fresher hop character. The Voss version is good and I would be perfectly happy with it had I not had the other to compare. My next...

    LalBrew Voss Kveik Dry Yeast Testimonial

    Yesterday I bottled an american kolsch (https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/1022327/az-poolside-guzzler-20-voss) that I brewed three days prior using the above referenced yeast. I only pitched half the packet into 2.75 gallons of 1.056 wort and it finished out in 2 days flat at...

    Could we get a save as function on the recipes? I'd like to use a previous recipe as a starting point and then just save it as a different recipe. Thanks, FPMBomb
