Hi, I need a mill! I’m not sure if I should go for a Corona (or similar) mill or for a 2-rollers option. Coronal-like solutions are very cheap (although there are cheap and cheaper brands.. I cannot explain the price variability as they all look the same to me, but they go from 20$ to 60$) Roller-type mills are made of steel and possibly easier to fine-tune, but more expensive (80$-100$) I’m brewing BIAB, if that matters.. I hope you can help me decide 🙂 Thanks in advance AC submitted by /u/alecrippa [link] [comments]

Have the next best recipe since Pliny the Elder, but want reddit to check everything over one last time? Maybe your house beer recipe needs that final tweak, and you want to discuss. Well, this thread is just for that! All discussion for style and recipe formulation is welcome, along with, but not limited to: Ingredient incorporation effects Hops flavor / aroma / bittering profiles Odd additive effects Fermentation / Yeast discussion If it’s about your recipe, and what you’ve got planned in your head – let’s hear it! submitted by /u/AutoModerator [link] [comments]

Welcome to the daily Q & A! Have we been using some weird terms? Is there a technique you want to discuss? Just have a general question? Read the side bar and still confused? Pretty sure you’ve infected your first batch? Did you boil the hops for 17.923 minutes too long and are sure you’ve ruined your batch? Did you try to chill your wort in a snow bank? Are you making the next pumpkin gin? Well ask away! No question is too “noob” for this thread. No picture is too tomato to be evaluated for infection! Seriously though, take a good picture or two if you want someone to give a good visual check of your beer. Also be sure to use upbeers to vote on answers in this thread. Upvote a reply that you know works from experience and don’t feel the need to throw out “thanks for answering!” upvotes. That will help distinguish community trusted advice from hearsay… at least somewhat! submitted by /u/AutoModerator [link] [comments]

I have been brewing for a couple years now but only recently moved from extract brewing to all grain. I made the move mostly because I bought a Robobrew electric kettle. I love the process and even though it’s technically more work doing all grain, the kettle makes brew day feel easier somehow. However, both batches have ended up light on the sugar I was able to extract from the grain. Original Gravity both times was about 1.030 vs the 1.042 target for the recipe. With the Robobrew kettle there’s nearly 2 gal of water lost to the false bottoms. So I started my measurements of about 1.5 quarts per 1 lb of grain after the 2 gal lost to the false bottom. That only left about 1.5 gallons left to sparge with for a 5 gallon batch. I’m guessing this is where the problem lies. However, I’m not certain about that and would love any suggestions or input before my next attempt. According to the recipe, the initial mash water plus sparge water should not excede 6.25 gallons which means I could theoretically sparge with up to a gallon more than I have done so far in these two batches. But the total quantity in the end should be 5.25 gallons and I just don’t find that much evaporates. So I have been reluctant to use that much sparge water but I suppose it could be beneficial and may try that next time. Thanks in advance for any advice. submitted by /u/cworange99 [link] [comments]
