    Congrats Ross!! Have you guys ever tried cold steeping your roasted grains overnight? It’s suppose to help reduce the harshness and astringency when brewing a stout/porter. Personally, haven’t tried it yet but I’d love too. Went to a brewery near me couple weeks back, had an Imperial Oatmeal Stout. It was super duper harsh and astringent. Almost to the point were it was unpleasant to drink

    • @BenSund
      @BenSund 4 роки тому

      I have done it several times with some success (grain choice is really important). I do 2 quarts of water per lb of grain. I usually heat to pasteurize, but then you can add it to taste at basically any point.

    • @Vykk_Draygo
      @Vykk_Draygo 4 роки тому

      Well... it's like .79 ounces of sugar per gallon at 70 degrees Fahrenheit for 2.3 volumes of CO2. So, mathematically, you need, approximately, a VOLUME of sugar equal to a dying star to carbonate 3 liters. Mathematically.
      I have a degree in computer science, so I'm smart. Trust me.

    I have the clawhammer BIAB/kettle setup. I have done 3 all grain kits, they are all a little low on the OG compared to the recipe I am using. Is this typical of this setup, or do I need to do something different? I let the grain basket drain about 20 minutes when I do.

    • @jacobhaegele4654
      @jacobhaegele4654 4 роки тому +2

      Lots of variables at play - author's brew method, sparge/no sparge, etc. My initial recommendation would be to start tracking your brew house efficiency, if you're not already. Putting the recipe into a brew calculator (brewer's friend or beersmith, etc) and adjusting to your calculated efficiency really helped me start hitting target ABVs. There are also some ways to improve efficiency in the brew process.

    • @ramtharthegreat
      @ramtharthegreat 4 роки тому

      @@jacobhaegele4654 thanks a bunch, I will use that calculator. To sparge with a BIAB setup, do I just reduce the volume of water I begin the mash with by, say, a half gallon, then sparge with a half gallon of hot water while the basket drains?

    (I'm sharing this with my Cardiololgist who has an interest in homebrewing)
    I call this monster GNARLEY BARLEYWINE. I made this monster back in 97.
    (I just opened the last bottle-wow this aged very well)
    (this is a 12 gallon , all grain, you will need a big mash tun for this one!!)
    GRAIN BILL:
    28 LBS BRIT 2 ROW (MARIS OTTER)
    2 lbs 60lov crystal
    3 lbs klages
    3 lbs Breis special roast
    2 kbs Torrified wheat
    6 oz choc malt
    2 oz roast barley
    2 oz Black Patent malt(finely ground)
    (in the copper, 4 lbs Candi sugar)
    MASH IN AT 154, HOLD FOR 1 HOUR
    SPARGE AND LAUTER FOR 12.5/13 GALLONS
    90 minute boil
    HOPS SCHEDULE
    NUGGETS FOR 60 MINUTES 50IBU'S
    EAST KENT GOLDINGS AND FUGGLES 15 IBU'S EACH,AT 20 AND 10 MINUTES
    irish moss last 15
    FORCE CHILL. O.G SHOULD BE AROUND 1130 AT KNOCKOFF
    FERMENT WITH A ACTIVE STRAIN OF ELDRIDGE POPE OR NOTTINGHAM, TOSS IN SOME
    BRETTANOMYCES WHIC WILL ADD COMPLEXITY IN YEARS TO COME.
    AFTER PRIMARY FERMENT IS COMPLETE, RACK TO SECONDARY, AND ADD200GRAMS OF RASPBERRYS PER LITRE OF BEER.
    AFTER 8 MONTHS RACK TO FINAL, CONDITION FOR 1 YEAR AND BOTTLE OR KEG.
