I have only ever used LME in my homebrews...i love the idea of all grain but it seems like a chemistry lesson watching this...i take it the temps are critical for correct enzyme action and max malt production...great videos...its definitely not for the faint hearted but am told the beer is much better than using just LME...
hey. your initial batch of strike water that you mixed with the grain to get a temp of 153 - how many gallons were in that initial batch of strike water?
There is no such thing as too precise when it comes to"Brewing YOUR OWN Beer." A "Beer," is being brewed that in the end will be comsumed by the brewer and probably some of his family members and friends. If the "Brewer" is precise when he brews a batch of "Beer" he can be precise in determining whether or not the result he was spending his hard earned time and money to accomplish was acceived. Now I know you might be thinking "WTH it's just a beer! --See you in Part 5:)
I haven't found a beer that i haven't really liked yet and to me, it all has the same basic taste with only subtle variations, so it's probably not too necessary to go through all these steps.
Yes, it's a phosphoric acid-based (IIRC) buffer to stabilize the mash pH. At the right dosage it will correct a mash pH of anywhere from about 4.8-6 to 5.2 (at mash temps).
Longer mash times work, but the final gravity will be lower than intended..causing a dryer finish...which is likely not wanted for chris' batch on this video. So, the mash time is specific to the beer style(grains used).
Hey Chris, nice vids! Yeah I'm new to AG and have been using my stove burner for heat and I want to switch to the more beefier stove like you use. My question; is that a "turkey frying stove rig" or what? Also, it looks kind of top heavy with all that wort weight, wot's uh the deal?

apparently you can make dog treats from the spent grain, you were asking if you could do something with them.

This guy is too precise. People make perfectly fine beer without half of this hassle.

hi nice vid.
um quick question why would you stop the starch conversion instead of just letting it all convert?
