Hopzoil - Cashmere Hopzoil - El Dorado® Hopzoil - Saaz Hopzoil - Citrone™ Hopzoil Hazy - Ambrosia™ Thanks for the giveaway!

Sorry for the late response. Yes it does read the correct boiling temperature for my elevation.

Thanks for all the input. Next time I brew I will check the FG of the TILT against my refractometer as a test.

Bobby, I am actually using your eBIAB kit with probe and an Auber Cube. Maybe I should send it back for a refund... ;) I have two TILTs and they both report lower than expected FG, so I don't think that is the issue.

A lot of my recipes recently are from clone books with FG listed, of from BeerSmith.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I use a refractometer while brewing, but then swap to a TILT in the fermenter. So my OG and FG are basically taken from the same source (TILT).

Grain bill is around 15-17lb. Yeast normally Safale 04 or 05. Mash temp 152-154. Mash time 60-90 mins. Fermentation temps start at 68 go up to 72.

I have been brewing for almost 2 years so still consider myself a noob and learning. I BIAB, use Brewsmith software and TILT's to measure gravity. As I BIAB I have a brewhouse efficiency of about 70% so manipulate the amount of grain used to give me the correct OG. However I quite often find...

My wife brings one to the golf club after our group plays. Its waiting for me on the 18th hole :-)

I am normally at the 1.070og level, so I think for my style of beers that may not work as I am in the 15lb-17lb area and BIAB in a 15 gallon kettle. But I will give it a go with a lower gravity beer at some point. Thanks for the advice :-)

I have never done a partial boil on AG. Does the reduced water make the mash thick?

I used to do the same thing and had a few fermentors turn into a quatermass experiment and ruin the beer. I have learned that patience can be a virtue. I live in Arizona and the cold water temperature here in the summer is hot enough to shower in, so its hard to get the wort cool. I had read all...

Yes I agree it's the yeast. Mine is not as bad as that it was a branded Kveik, so it's drinkable. But it's a one glass night beer before moving on to something else. It's got one of those 'not sure if I like it' tastes, but temps you to keep trying.....

Further to this. I remember when I first tasted it, it reminded me of an Imperial Blonde that I made using a lot of honey. It was strong and has a sweetness to it.

I used this one Recipe: Bygland For the Love of Kveik I think the taste is down to the yeast as it had the same smell when first adding it to beer wort. I am sure others who have used Kviek Honindal might be able to better describe it. Best I can say it is almost borders on an off taste, but...

Made my first raw beer a few weeks ago as an experiment using Hornindal Kviek. I have to say it's an acquired taste. But it does grow on you.....

I know you said you practiced good standards for cleanliness, but if all your beers were bad, my guess would be that you didn't get that part quite right.

I have had this for about 9 months and could not be happier with the set up.

I am a semi-newbie so take from this what you will. I have a 15 gallon Spike Kettle for BIAB. As its 16" wide I find you need to leave a reasonable amount of wert/trub in the bottom or it sucks up all the crap extracting it, so I regularly use c8-9 gallons of water (with adjusted recipe). I...

That's why I am surprised they don't link the software account the forum. Would seem sensible. I also sent a contact form to them but didn't get a response, but I can appreciate people are very busy, so I will just wait it out. It's a shame that some companies don't realise the damage it does...
