Thanks a lot! The Joy of HOme Brewing is what I have but I find it rather cumbersome to get the information I seek easily. Also, my all grain brewing neighbor just told me he brews in a bag...I had never heard of it. Thanks for the book recommendation. I will get it ASAP.

Hogarth, Thank you, that helps a lot. So, in essence I have been doing a partial mash in execution, just not ingredients. What I need now is to do the mash with temp management and see what improvement I can get in my beer. Would love to go straight to all grain but there are some processes...

Hi, I understand that I have been brewing for some months now in a partial mash style, using some grains for steeping then DME or LME for the bulk of the fermentables. Is this partial mash? I was told today it is not because I am only using steeping grains but not actually extracting the...

I had not set up a profile. I followed the link to do so but I have no idea what water losses, absorptions etc. are. I have a bucket, a pot, a hydrometer calibrated to 68F and an emersion chiller. I know no other stats they request.

Thanks for your reply. Hmmm, The Efficiency is calculated by "brewers Friend" and I see no way to change it or the OG target. I assume efficiency is calculated based on fermentables? I am not sure what you mean by System?

This is the beer I madeI must say ,as I kegged it today, it tastes really really good! HOME BREW RECIPE: Title: Pfriem IPA Clone Author: Rustybrews Brew Method: Partial Mash Style Name: American IPA Boil Time: 70 min Batch Size: 5 gallons (fermentor volume) Boil Size: 4 gallons Boil Gravity...

Thanks. They were for dry hopping. My concern was the heat from the boiling the hops and not cooling entirely before tossing in the bucket first may gave killed the yeast. All brews thus far 10+ have bubbled pretty vigerouly the fost week. This one did for 1.5 days until I added the hops.

so, I hope I didn’t lost the batch cuz I think the recipe has the potential to be one of my best but...I was a day 1/2 late adding dry hops cuz I had not purchased enought. I was torn on contaminating my batch so boild the hop pellets in a cup of water before letting them cool a bit and tossing...

Thanks! So the recipe is on this site. Is there no way to convert a linked recipe already entered or do I need to re-enter recipe as written with oldvolume then desired volume?

hi. New here. Found a recipe i’d like to try but it is for 4.5 gals abd I have 5 gallon kegs so would rather make 5 gallons. Is there a way to use this site to calculate what increase in ingredients are needed for the extra half gallon?
