Yeah, 50. I've got a cereal killer. I'm going to try setting it super fine for this batch.

Last month I found briess 2 row malts 50lb bag on sale for $27 I bought 2 wish I would have bought 4.
Do you put a drill on your cereal killer?

 

[davedamage]

That's a killer price. Northern Brewer has it for $33 all day and it's on my way home from work, so it's a no-brainer. I just run it with a ryobi cordless drill.

I would only do a third of the grain fine you don't want it to get stuck in the sparg. The course grind will hold the fine particles and keep it flowing. You don't want to end up with porridge

I'm doing a single vessel BIAB this batch. The .03" is gospel for my MLT.

 

[Vinman]

It always finishes out dryer than that but I don't know how to get that to register in beersmith.

 

[davedamage]

It's also a hop bomb.

 

[Vinman]

Instead of a frag swap we should do a beer swap lol

 

[davedamage]

Beer swap at the frag swap. I think I'm going to Reefapalooza Chicago.

 

[Vinman]

Hahaha

Brewing beer and college football are why I love fall weekends. I usually do some tank maintenance while the water is heating in the robobrew. Brewing a malty brown ale this weekend. Also hoping my peach ale will be ready to bottle!

The plan is to go all electric in the basement when we finish it, which is this winter's project. I was originally going to go with a traditional three vessel system but I had a friend loan me a banjo burner and I picked up a brew bag to try getting off the stove. If I can get similar results to my stop top brewing and shave some serious time off my brews, the biab may be the future for me moving forward. Then, I just need to build a custom fermentation chamber to house the two Spike Flex buckets.

I wonder if I can find a way to increase the pressure from my RO waste water to supply my wort chiller. That would be awesome.

My husband brews professionally. We picked up a kit years ago when we got married and brewed at home (all the way to all grain). Then when his profession was going the way of the dodo (book printing) he got involved in a new brewery that was opening up. He's been there about 8 years now.

He's the tallest one on the home page. ;Joyful :)

27 lbs of grain in a bag... that was fun. However, got in the fermenter and cleaned up in time to watch the Colts game. For my first biab, the numbers came awfully close.
