together with my grandfather we brew beer
I’ll be curious what final Gravity is… When I do cool mash (142), I can get down under 1.005… I should try this again with RO water… Then there’s no where for the hops/malt to hide… Maybe?

I’ll let you know where it finishes. The hops are all late additions and DH. I just had this same recipe that a friend made and it was great. By far the best Brut I’ve had.

Jus out of curiosity what is your target volume to end up with to get 10.5 gallons to keg and how much drinkable beer do you get from the keg? The most I’ve ever used in a keg is 3oz and I’d guess they absorb probably 2pints
13 gallon boil volume (boil off is nearly 1.5 gallons) takes me down to 11.5/12 going in unitank. Dry hopping and trub/yeast collection get me down to kegging volume. I can get around 5.25 gallons in each keg therefore target the 10.5 gallon final volume from unitank. Lessens the loss from the massive keg hop I do. I’ve never counted each pint served but I’d guess 37 pints roughly.

This is what confuses me boil off I can calculate for a target gravity but absorbtion doesn’t change the gravity. Makes my head spin.
When I top off a keg… The lid gets a good dunking in star San too… you have to submerge part of it in the beer to put it on…
I’m thinking a uni-tank may be a piece of the gizmo’s I’d take a good look at…

Brewed our Weezer NEIPA today. Trying to get ahead of the summer rush.
It’s nice not having to worry about that with a closed transfer!

I can’t put too much pressure on my SS buckets… so I got away from racking through the liquid post… I do have to open the lid… Maybe I drink too fast? Or… My system of racking doesn’t cause the brew to oxidize? …
So I plan to brew Saturday… A small lager and will use rice…
I’ve an agenda for a rice mash, but don’t really know what to expect… Anyone get down to the nuts and bolts…? I ain’t texting about minute stuff… I should go to “recipe” and post what I’m planning… Then Saturday, give real time findings…
