60 litres - tapped into 2 X 25 litre cubes and remaining into small bucket.
everything went to plan - after fermentation bottled into 500ml bottles and capped
on bottling tasted a little bitter but I have read on the forum that this will reduce over time
why have I got such a low alcohol content with the large amount of grain and therefore sugars to ferment - surely my extraction of sugars should have been higher - I did a BIAB and used a fine crush (malt miller special!!) Any ideas on why this could have occured?
:?:
Yes - the gravity did stay the same for one week. Can't understand why the FG is so high? all other brews have been fine and reached the OG and FG I have been working to. Maybe just the joy of homebrewing :lol:
Everything went well - just bottled as no fermentation for one week. OG was 1044 and final was 1020 which is no where near where I thought it would be - is this down to the lactose being residual in the beer and therefore if so how do you know what the alcohol content is???? :wha: :wha:

Hi All
want to give odins breath stout a go via my BIAB set-up
Would you use the same quantites as stated by devonhomebrew for normal sparge method?
any advise is welcomed
Have been reading the excellent BIAB tutorial and have a few questions
I am planning to have a brew day in the next 2 weeks - have my pot, bag and gas burner just waiting for the ingredients
I am planning to collect the wort in a 25 litre cube and let cool overnight- trying to reduce the water...
After lots of thought and head scratching - decided to try BIAB - the one pot system would be a cheaper option to start with and with a auntie whom is a seamstress of great ability the bag should be no problem
lets hope all goes well :thumb:
Hi to everyone
Hope to learn from you all
Been brewing using LME over the last 2 years - do a good batch with honey - :drink: time to go the all grain way
Now trying to source SS pots to convert and make my own system
any advice would be great
thanks in advance :drink:
