Re: Can you mash in 100% backset?
I heat my sparge water on the stove when brewing with the grainfather. It's really no problem. It takes awhile for the wort to come to a boil so it's not going to shorten your brew day in my experience.

Re: Corn Grind..when is it too fine?
Game corn is just dried, not gelatinized, so you'll have to cook it before you can mash with it. The same problem exists with rice, which is why you use instant rice instead of dried.

Re: Corn Grind..when is it too fine?
To get very specific - each grain should be divided into exactly three pieces. So, real AG brewers crack grains one at a time to ensure proper grind.

Re: First corn whiskey mash - any good?
I wasn't going to use any backset in this recipe but definitely will try another run and keep a generational run going. I had another question about pre-mashing as well. I was thinking about adding some malted barley to the cracked corn as I heat it up so it doesn't become a big glob. Tutuapp 9apps ...

I use Simpson's coffee malt in one of my stout recipes (that includes some other dark roasted grains), which is about 150L. The one time I sub'd in the Castle coffee (listed at 190L) the beer came out very harsh. It may have been coincidence or something else with that batch but I never used it aga...

Re: Lantern fuel?
Unless you have a 100% sealed room that is practically never opened, odds of depleting oxygen inside of your average home with a gas lantern is extremely low. The CO2 buildup is pretty much also a non-issue. As you know, the real issue is CO. Rate of CO production is going to determine on the fuel u...

Re: white oak vs red oak
Red Oak produces a slightly "sweeter" taste than White Oak. Not that it's actually sweet, but it is sweeter if that makes sense. Pound for pound you will get a longer burn time out of White Oak. When it comes to White vs Red, I have no preference. There taste is very similar and I love the...

Re: What is the difference between neutral spirit and vodka
The shape of the various types of single-charge stills (as for Scotch), allows certain flavours to be carried over into the alcohol. The Coffey Still just produces alcohol, almost regardless of the source of the starch - though there too, the distiller can add in more or less of the “heads” and or “...

Re: Deathwish Wheat germ recipe
You'll find lots of discussion about inverting sugar prior to using it in your wash. Some say it's easier for the yeast to metabolize, but I haven't found any scientific evidence to support that claim. I think (opinion ON) some of this is due to the relative sweetness of inverted sugar(opinion OFF)....

The rye doesn't need the long boil that the corn does to gelatinize it starch. I would just add it when I shut off the heat. I always let mine sit a few extra days till it clears and all settles. Then i rack it off. I push the tube down into the grain bed which will also act as a filter. Maybe add a...
