I brewed 36 gallons this year…no complaints just the new normal with three little kids running around the house!

Here is my go to Kölsch recipe...pre-3 kids I would brew this up 2-3 times a year...most recently i used the Koln dry yeast and got the most Kölsch flavor I've ever experienced. Good luck!

Still thirsty

Congratulations! Enjoy them! Time flies!

I always add gelatin to all my beers, except the American Wheats. It still takes time to clear the beer but it it does make it faster. As everyone has said above time and cold are what does the trick.

I have tried the 2K before it kept the boil just not very vigorous at all.

Excellent job!

I own a Brewzilla 65L, had it for two years now, one full year with 10 brews on it due to twins. I don't worry about the dead space because it gets recirculated back to the top so I don't add additional water. First thing I do is mash thin...2-2.5/qts per pound. Once i dough in i let it rest...

Just did some gravity samples on my latest brews, 12 gallon split batch Jovaru and 34/70. Next batch is going to be a Vienna lager for Thanksgiving, hopefully we'll be able to meet up with family again...12 gallons is ALOT to drink by myself...

Glad to hear you found the problem and fixed it! Back to awesome brews you go!

No problem! I’m currently using it now for a split batch of Farmhouse Ale and 34/70 lager yeast. Getting ready to check gravity tomorrow and start cold crashing/finning.

Awesome, thanks!

You have to move the recipe to the Group where the tanks are…then you can assign them during the “brew day” This took me about an hour to figure out last night LoL

Time is definitely flying around these parts…my oldest is starting Kindergarten and the twins will be 2 in the fall. I’m trying to enjoy every minute!

I hid my last 6 pack from FIL...gotta save some for the dry times about to occur...brewing on Wednesday!

I can't wait for my three to do that! I got hand drawn picture books and hand prints today...it was a good day!

3 is definitely enough! My BIL and SIL have 4 girls...6, 4, 2 and 9 months...it is pandemonium at their house!

I've found with my Brewzilla that my efficiency increases with a thinner mash plain and simple

Waiting on ingredients is the worst part!

I own a 65L, had it for two years now, one full year with 8 brews on it due to twins. First thing I do is mash thin...2-2.5/qts per pound. Once i dough in i let it rest for ten minutes then start recirculating. I also stir my mash at 20 minutes and 40 minutes thoroughly and again let the grain...
