Very good video. I have seen a few experiments of shorter mash and getting most of the way to a target gravity. I have myself pushed it way beyond that trying to get a target didn’t my inefficient days.
Great video Paul, the results were about as I expected. The conversion is very similar to the IBU's from hops based on boil times. One future experiment for you guys...side by side of a batch with milled vs. unmilled grains just for the FuF sense of it...I could see Brad forgetting to crush grains on his brewday!
It's actually the recirculation arm from a Grainfather that we slapped a camlock fitting onto so we could use it on the Brewzilla. To build something similar you could use a camlock e, short piece of silicon tubing, camlock c. Cheers
Hi Paul, love your channel, very informative. Looking at making one of those recirculation thermometers you use. As such, what parts make it up please? I'm located in Australia so can get Kegland Stuff pretty easily so hopefully that helps.
Hi, here is the parts list I used to build it. All parts are stainless steel. I also made a video on how to build this you should check out. Thermometer with 2" probe 1/2" coupler 1/2" nipple 1/2" fpt tee camlock type b camlock type f Hope that helps. Cheers

Not a bad idea, I am kind of curios as to how much if any conversion we would get from whole grains. Cheers!
Very interesting!
Thanks!
I like the flexibility of your DIY return hose. Did you use two cam lock fittings and a short section of silicone?

What is the flexible piece on the recirculation arm? Thanks for the vids!

Thanks for the video

Working hard on the BGM tracks, Thank You!
How much stirring are you doing? Very 15 minutes and always recirculating, correct?
Hello, yes the pump was recirculating the entire time. After each sample I took I stirred the mash for about 20-30 seconds. Cheers!
Temperature?
Of the mash?
Big Gulps brewing in the background. Is Brad trying to brew his favorite sodas?
Maybe yes maybe no......
Wow! 1.071 for only 10.5 pounds of grain!
That was without sparging. I sparged afterwards just to see what the actual OG would have been and it was 1.050. Cheers
Oh ok. That makes much more sense.😊
Big Gulps huh?
Stay tuned, those are for a future video......
