Thanks, Good Read

Thanks

I haven't brewed in a while. Talking to a brewer recently he said he adds hops in the mash. Have any of you done this? What's the advantage?

Thanks. For the Lactose and the raw honey?

What is this hop tube you speak about? In the keg or fermenter?

When is the best time to add Lactose and Raw Honey to the mash? Or should it be added to the boil?

Yes 10.5 gal. Anvil Brew System.

I'm going to use a 10.5 Anvil Foundry, no bag.

When adding flaked oats or wheat to the grain bill do you grind with the others or leave them.

Does anyone brew with an electric system like from Anvil, Blichman, Grainfather? If so any info on them? Ease of use, worth the money etc.?

I have not brewed since October. I have some hops in my freezer. What is the opinion on using them now?

I do BIAB and use a Big Mouth Bubbler fermenter. High Krausen for me is about 2/3 days in. Low Krausen is probably 5/6 days in. I use 2 packets of liquid yeast. It attenuates pretty fast.

Thanks, I also use Flaked Wheat, Oats. Probably don't need the carafoam or carapils, just a creature of habit. I make the opaque, soft creamy IPAs.

I have been using a small amount of carafoam for head retention, body in my DIPAs.I like the results. Would switching to Carapils be any advantage other than being a little lighter %L ?

Does anybody calculate the DP when making a recipe? What is the minimum DP to get good conversion? I do BIAB and am starting to look at brewing with more insight. I've always just thrown a recipe together, haven't made a bad beer yet. Knock on wood!

I have been cleaning my equipment with an "oxyclean" cleaner. Is there any problem putting my equipment in a dishwasher?

Thanks. I've read about them, was just hoping someone had a personal experience with them.

I'm going to do a homebrew Friday and have some Cashmere hops to use. Does anybody have any insight what other hops they go with? When to use? Boil, Flameout, Whirpool, Dry hop?

So this is going to sound stupid but what are first wort hops? I do BIAB, no sparge etc. When are they added?

I do this also. It's a timesaver and stress reducer.
