    Typical Brew Day Time?

    Your transfers would be faster along with cooling on the way to the fermenter. I do 10 gallon batches in 3 hours with 60min mash and 60min boil and total day after cleanup is 4 hours at most. What kind of system do you have, BIAB?

    What's your next brew

    I brewed a split batch over the weekend. Did 100% Briess Malt Gems Pilsner and Cascade pellets. 8 gallons of wort into 2 fermenters, one got London III and the other got Munich Lager. OG 1.051 and both are around 1.015 today. Should come in around 4.9% ABV. Didn't really intend on them...

    Thanks! Did the whole DIY route for a number of years and I've had this setup now for almost 3 years (10 years into the hobby). My next step in DIY was the electric panel and after doing the research, I decided to just kick it into the whole 3 vessel Spike system. Made the money back in the...

    I made a milk stout with a buddy last weekend and decided to kick it up a notch with some chilies! Added 4 guajillos, 2 ancho, 2 chipotle, 1 new mexico, and 1 arbol (all rough chopped). Used my mesh screen for dry hopping and this all steeped in the kettle at whirlpool for 35 minutes. OG was...

    My NEIPA split batch, I did 3mL of hop extract at 60min for bitterness, then 4 oz Galaxy for a 30min whirlpool at 176F. When I split the batch, I did a HK dry hop of 4oz Hallertau Blanc/3oz Galaxy in one fermenter and the other got 4oz Vic Secret/3oz Galaxy. I did the same with a post dry hop...

    Kegged my NEIPAs on Friday and got both carbonated through the carb stone. Tapped both on Sunday and they're looking good. At least they look similar (given they're the same mash and boil!). Great flavors from the Hallertau Blanc/Galaxy and the Vic Secret/Galaxy! Hallertau Blanc/Vic Secret...

    I brewed a split batch NEIPA yesterday with some buddies. 8 gallons split into my Ss Brewbucket and a keg. Used a hop shot for bittering and then 4oz Galaxy for a 35min whirlpool. Planning to DDH each one with 7oz of hops (one is getting Hallertau Blanc/Galaxy and the other is getting Vic...

    Split batch ale - Voss and Chico

    I did Voss for a NEIPA and a Milk Stout and had no off flavor issues from the yeast (fruity). Best part was that the sucker fermented in 24 hours and was an absolute beast at 80 degrees.

    Typical Brew Day Time?

    I'm about 4 hours for a typical brew day. I have a Spike 3-vessel system (15gal). I prep my system the day prior (sanitizing and prepping the HLT and MT with the water I need). The day of, I fire up the HLT while I have breakfast and do other things so the water is ready for dough-in when I...

    Split batch ale - Voss and Chico

    I've had the lifetime membership for probably 5 years at this point, but it seems there just isn't enough interest yet for doing split batches or partigyle brewing on the site. For partigyle, I just set up 2 recipes and assume my lower efficiency on the 2nd runnings. I suppose for the split...

    Split batch ale - Voss and Chico

    Anyone have a way to set up split batches in Brewer's Friend? I'm brewing 8 gallons of a NEIPA, then splitting the batch post-whirlpool, using the same yeast strain, then different dry hopping. 1st one will be Hallertau Blanc/Galaxy, the 2nd will be Vic Secret/Galaxy. Definitely interested in...
