Does it come with step by step instructions?
I see it says easy to read instructions but still

go buy this book. You may want to do this first to make sure you really want to do it. That's what i did.

I just think it would be a new hobby for me, something to do that could be fun and maybe I could try some new things. I've been interested since I started drinking beer

Spent grains about to boil

No need to buy it, a few websites have the PDF. Very helpful book

Measured Pre-boil volume, 7 gallons
Measured pre-boil gravity, 1.075 (corrected for temps)
according to beersmith, 98% efficiency. Holy shite!

Just tasted the pre-boil wort. I'm liking it. The mouthfeel, already is very smooth. Very roasty. I can't wait till this thing is ready to drink in a month.

My extended brew cycle is coming to a close. I pitched my yeast and will let this open ferment for a few days and then transfer to the barrel.
ETA: yeast in pitcher obviously hasn't been pitched. everything got put in the white bucket

You know that that's not necessarily a good thing and damn near impossible right?
You might want to make sure all of your measurements are calibrated and correct.

I was consistently in the 75 - 80% range and have stopped taking readings. I only measure now before bottling to make sure I'm below 1.008

I think I'm around 75ish these days.

Well my target was 1.07 OG. I'm at 1.08 OG. Estimate brewhouse efficiency at 82%. Everything has been calibrated the same. I have not changed any settings since i first calibrated for all-grain.
So whether or not i nailed it, or it's bad calibration, i'm hitting my targets. And this time, i actually hit a higher OG than anticipated. It is possible my thermometer was off, but i don't know. I guess it's a wait and see now.
I mashed at 154. It tastes damn good too. And right at 5.5 hours.

I wouldn't trust temp corrected readings. Get a $25 refractometer.
Hell. I don't really have a great way to measure my boil kettle volumes. It's always a guess for me.

Yeah i need to do this. I do, however, believe i did get a higher efficiency than normal, seeing as i beat my target by .01.
To measure volumes, i made some marks on my plastic boil paddle. 1 mark for every gallon. I did this early on. So when i dip the paddle it, if it reaches a certain mark, then i know how much wort i have.

How do you like using the 7 gallon carboy? Easy to move around?
Posted on 10/5/13 at 4:45 pm to Fratastic423
I think, technically it's a 6.5
I like it for the head space to cut down on blow offs
