I haven't brewed in a while, but his past weekend I brewed a NEIPA. I wanted to try the magnetic drop method so I had 6 ounces of hops in a mesh filter that I was going to hold with a magnetic and drop after day 7. I mistakenly dropped the filter into my wort and it didn't sink but went under...

I have gone back to the basics, I previously used a Grainfather G30, doing 5 gallon batches and was kegging my beer. Numbers were very close and beers were excellent! I decided to go smaller scale and less brewing, personal choice. I just use a mash tun with a false bottom and a second boil...

I have read discussions of when and how long to dry hop and it seems to vary, based on hops used, how much taste and aroma or lack of. I am sure it's been discussed here , I checked the forum and saw a few discussions but none really on time and what to put the hops in. I usually ferment 3-5...

My last two brews I have had a problem with over carbonation. I have a quick carb lid and followed the directions as I have done in previous brews and packaging. I have tried everything to uncarbonate the beer from disconnecting the gas, purging the keg, letting it sit for hours etc. My...

I have done about 10 brews so far and all have been decent drinking beers. I was reading an article about letting the mash rest for 20-30 minutes prior to recirculation. I was thinking about doing that during my next brew. I use a Grainfather G30 so was thinking to let the mash rest for 30...

My fourth brew is an American style brown ale, I brewed it on a Monday and pitched the yeast on Tuesday once the temp was right. I noticed bubbling in my airlock the next day after I pitched the yeast which was Wednesday. Today when I checked its still bubbling but noticed the airlock was...

I completed my third brew with the help of a friend, and his recipe called for hops at hop stand and time was 30 minutes. Temperature was listed at 170 F. We assumed this meant add the hop additions after the wort was down to 170 F and then whirlpool off and on for 30 minutes. The beer...

I have a good recipe for a NEIPA, pretty juicy and hazy not a lot of hops, Sabra in the boil/ hop stand, Simcoe in the boil and El Dorado in the dry hop. The ABV was 5.55 and I wanted to do the next batch and raise the ABV. I make 5 gallon batches with a Grainfather G30, I read you can add a...

I have a Grainfather G30 and did my first recipe yesterday my question is about the Mash In and Mash Out. The mash in seemed to be ok, temp up to 149 F, recirculation for 60 mins. This is where I was confused. My mash out temperature is 167, so it took the Grainfather about 7 minutes to get...

I have done some research, watched a bunch of video's and have decided on an all in one. I like the Grainfather G30, the SS Brewtech brew bucket fermenter - 7 gallon, and the Grainfather sparge water heater as far as my big items. With limited space and the ease of operation it seems the best...
