I think I’ll try that before I go changing the size of my grain mill gap. The bag method would definitely be a lot nicer for grain cleanup, that’s for sure. Reading through a forum just now, some people will use a brew bag inside their cooler and go through their usual mash and sparge routine and then lift the bag when it gets near the end and squeeze whatever’s left in the bag out.

As for my two new Brew Bags, I’m wondering if those are even going to work out now that I’ve realized that a full mash using all of the water is going to take up all of the room in my Rubbermaid. So, instead I’ll have to increase the gap size of my Monster Mill MM-3Pro grain mill from 0.039 to 0.042 and see how that works out for minimizing a stuck sparge without using my brew bag. After I determined my mineral additions using the Supporter’s Version of Bru’n Water, I realized that 9 gallons of water would fill my mash tun 90% of the way up and I’m not going to chance 13 pounds of grain in the remainder of the tun. I want high mash efficiency and if I don’t use a brew bag, then I get a stuck sparge. I purchased two 10-gallon Brew Bags from The Brew Bag to use for each of my two 10-gallon Rubbermaid mash tuns. Posted in All Grain Brewing, Homebrewing | Tagged Brew Bag, IPA, the brew bag | Leave a reply Hoppy IPA – The next time I brew I’m thinking of brewing this same recipe again with one variation to the recipe and on that time around I’m going to compare to BeerSmith 3’s water tab to get me to the pH that I’m wanting to hit. I used Bru’n Water for calculating my minerals to get me to 5.27 and it didn’t come through for me. I was targeting 5.27 pH using reverse osmosis water that I buy from Natural Grocer for $0.25 per gallon. I do remember one thing that I couldn’t get where I wanted it. I kept my usual routine of mashing and sparging, and cleanup of the spent grains was fast and easy! I love the brew bag! I used the brew bag as a filter only I didn’t use it to brew as a BIAB method. I used the brew bag successfully, yielding a 73.7% mash efficiency and for the next time that I brew I’m going to reduce my mill gap just a little bit more. Today was a good day and I didn’t have any lessons learned. My target post-boil gravity was 1.069 my actual was 1.067. My target pre-boil gravity was 1.050 my actual was 1.049. I actually ended up getting closer to 148.2-148.6F.įor the boil rate I was targeting 1.35 gallons evaporation per hour and instead it ended up being 1.43 gallons per hours. I wanted to hit 149F so that both the beta and alpha amylases would get to do their thing.
Today I got pretty close to my mash temp. Two weeks ago I brewed this beer, or rather, I tried to brew this beer, and I failed on meeting the mash temp and on the boil rate.
