Re: Yeast Pitching Calculator + 1

I brewed this yesterday for my first brew. This was what I ended up doing. It went well for the first time put my mini mash effiency was real low (34%). I need to work on that. Also I ended up adding .5 gal of water that I for got to account for and maybe not enough boil off. So my OG was 1.044...

Re: Calculator request My thoughts were that it would be useful for AG or extract brewing. I was reading this article about hitting your OG. http://www.hoptomology.com/2012/02/14/h ... l-gravity/. Where he missed is OG based on a given volume after the mash. From the calculations, he could...

I saw a couple nice calculators recently on brewheads.com New Volume Calculator - This calculator will tells what volume your wort needs to be to change it to a specific target gravity. New SG Calculator This calculator tells what the gravity of the wort will be when the volume is changed from...

You got me thinking about the efficiency and back to my "how to brew" book I went. I now see how the efficiency and ppg changes compared to steeping and mashing as well as the style of sparging you do. Since my efficiency will be improved with mashing the grains, I thought I should bump my...

My thoughts were this is still an extract recipe and mashing the speciality grains is really not much more different then steeping. I'll just use less water and mash a little longer. Most of the dunkelweizen have Munich in the kit to be steeped. Even with the kits there is some controversery if...

The efficiency is based only for the steeping grains according to Brewers friends which thy recommend to start it low to start with. As far as the amount of Munich, I was looking at about 75% wheat and 16% munich with the carmunich and dark Munich it is 1.5 lb.

Thanks Again. I've been reading on this subject all day and getting a better understanding of the differences. I thought about upping the caramunich but thought over 8 oz may start getting to sweet. But I would like more munich so I started reading about partial mash and maybe doing a mini...

Chessking Thanks for your feed back. I did not know that about the dark wheat grain Is there a way to know which grains can be used for steeping vs mashing so I know in the future? If I remove the amber and use all wheat in the extract, Then remove the dark wheat and use dark munich instead...

I am trying to put together my first extract recipe for my first brew attempt. I have been looking reading other reciepes and was trying to come up with my own and would like someone to review it and see if the ingredients look ok and your thoughts on them. Thanks HOME BREW RECIPE: Title: Herr...
