Just put a German Lager into the fermenter.

I have gone from too much flameout hops to 100% FHW. Hope I didn't overreact.

Likewise, just put a Munich Dunkel into the fermenter. 96% mash efficiency and 87% brewhouse efficiency. 🤙

Wow! I moved to BIAB recently and now get 70-72% efficiency. But, I like the simplicity.

Ever since I started using the Brew Bag in my mash tun my efficiency has been great. Those numbers are out of BrewSmith. So much so that I have to scale down grain bills of most recipes. I also use less water by draining the bag, the grain is drier once lautered, and cleanup is a lot quicker.

I just put a festbier-style lager into the fermenter; I say "festbier-style" because I'm only loosely adhering to the style. Basically, I want a nice and drinkable and malty fall lager. Grist is 42% pilsen malt, 37% Munich malt, and 21% Vienna malt, with a single decoction (15 minute boil) at mash-out. The hops are American Tettnang (from YCH Hops). Wow, I love the aroma on those...it's got a slightly sweet, spicy aroma that is pretty unique--I'll definitely be using these in other recipes.

Brewed my Columbus fresh hop IPA! I was left with about 2.5 gallons of hops sitting in my kettle after transferring. Super annoying to stir during chilling.

Jesus!  Did you get any actual beer out of that one?

Blew of a book deadline to brew a batch of Rye IPA on the Grainfather today.  First time using the Connect controller and app...very slick.  It's gonna hit 100F by noon so I started at 6 AM.

5.25 gallons, I was shooting for six. Still need to figure out what's going on with my system. Groundwater here is infuriatingly warm right now.

Any chance we'll hear a review on the next podcast Denny?

The grain father, unless I missed the episode where you talked about it. I'm still working through the archives.

Brewing up my very first Roggenbier tomorrow.

After 4 days, I add a puree.  In the keg, I add a little pineapple extract
