Especially if you are not sparging. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBooz2 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) On 9/23/2022 at 9:36 PM, Shamus O'Sean said: I was overshooting because my Brewhouse Efficiency was too low. Lately, I set it to 76% and get pretty close with the final numbers. That also helps with the numbers SOS and my 23 L single batches have averaged 75.8% BHE. Mine is set at 76% also so that's the base I use for my 70 L Nano equipment. The Coopers premium malt was a new grain that I have not used before so the Coopers specs entered into Brewfather were obviously a tad too far out of reach for me.

I'd go the Styrian for bittering and the Amarillo late, but you could easily get 18 ibu from all flameout and have more flavour, having said that 150 does not have flavour 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question for your - your help please I have an upright freezer - that has fixed shelves with coolant running through it - I did use it for lagering bottles in milk crates - but am thinking my dear ancient old mum could use it... I need to drive it on up there a good few hours away - can I lie it down in the back of the station wagon on its side - then when I get there lift it back up - leave it stand 24 hours or overnight - and then fire it up ok? I just cannot transport it upright... It is probably 20 years or more old... Your help please? @JoeB7 You've probably done it by now mate but that's the tried & trusted method from the old days of flatmating it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiekraut Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 First batch for the day happily boiling away. This is a Clayton’s Lager. I quite liked it last time. Pretty smashable 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 And the second mash is underway.. this will be a Bitsa Pale Ale, because I had to empty a few grain containers to top them up with fresh grains. This is made up of Voyager Veloria, Weyermann Premium Pilsner, Bestmalz Red X and Barrett Burston Wheat. I’ll use Azacca hops and Verdant IPA yeast. Might be an interesting concoction 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
