    IPA Beer Body

    For more body, I might move the pale ale down to 10-11.5 lbs and use some Munich (or Vienna is you want more biscuit taste) and some carapils. (Or flaked barley/oats). I also mash out for 10 min at 170°F and cold crash slowly, 3-5 ° F per day. Hope this helps

    Same... Always mash out at 170°F for 10 min. Also found that if I could crash at 3-5°F per day (down to 33-35°F) I get much better head retention and legs.

    I use carapils at higher rates if I feel like it. At a rate ... 12 lb grain, + 1 lb caropils. Also made a beyond straw light colored pilsner that looked like white wine. (Modest fail) Hahaha

    Nope... That place is an actual malt house, where they actually do the kilning, germination etc of the malt.

    Just finished mashing with Gen 4, no extra feet to half pull out. I tried this and it worked today. Have to be repeatable .. but so far ... 1 for 1. Success!!! I used a BIAB inside the malt pipe. I made a curved piece of heavy gauge wire (a circle shape) to hold the bag to the edges at the...

    What changes made your beer better?

    Planning on a new way to be more efficient and using a larger sized keg (7.5-10 g) to ferment. I can brew a 5+ gal batch size then go to the fermenter keg, to ferment under pressure and do a closed transfer. I would be very interested to hear what others have learned about fermenting in corny...

    Yes to both. I run a slow recirculate (about 1/3-1/2 open valve) during mash and I also sparge a few gallons (170°) with the mash pipe partially removed
