I brewed today!

[west1m]

Today seemed like a good day to brew up a Blue Moon Clone. Filled up the Anvil fo the mash. While filling i turned on the pump to make sure it was primed. The discharge end was just hanging on the handle. Pumped a quart or so on the floor.
All done with the soak starting to heat for the boil. Hmm , gotta run upstairs for a minute, 200 degrees, simple turn down the heat. Set to 20 percent. Back in plenty of time reset the heat to 97 %. Grab the spray bottle and be ready for the boil. Bottle in hand walk across the room to look at something , turn around to see the boil climbing out of the kettle. About another quart , sticky stuff this time on the floor.
Boiled up cooled and ready to pitch. My dry yeast ,LALBREWIT Belgian ale yeast is all rehydrated ,slurried and ready to go. Open the top to pour it in and knock it over, again all over the floor. Hello BRY-97.

Hmmm.. Its been 48 hours now and no signs of activity. I saw a few other posts commenting on BRY-97 going kind of slow.
I have used it in the past and don't really recall it taking this long...

Mine did not kick off until after 40 hours and I kicked the temp up to 67 from 64. Then it took off, and I dropped it back down to 64.

Going to need to see pictures of the finished product, and get some tasting notes...

 

[west1m]

Not at home today but I see the Tilt is showing some progress on day three.
I did bump temps up a bit 67F.

That’s the All-Rounder, right? How much trouble to collect yeast and clean? You obviously don’t have a valve to disassemble every other batch, so I can see a big plus there. Doesn’t look like FastFerment is ever going to pressure rate their product, and I want to get into pressure fermentation and transfer. That looks like a good option.

Super easy to clean. I don't collect yeast, although I tried that years ago. found it to be a hobby within a hobby. For me, it just created a bunch more cleaning and investment of time.

GF rice lager brew complete.
Smashed my OG by 10 points! OMG
And I forgot to add the maltodextrin so it would of been higher.

This is mash in showing how milky the wort is

Actually the starch didn't finally start to convert until I hit my 74c mash step.
I began the beta rest around 4 brix then hit the 87c rest near 10 brix
Now after 4 steps later and what 2.5 hours

Fully converted baby!

Actually absolutely crazy efficiency my brew house into the fermenter is 100% efficiency going by my brew log and as I said that's without the 300g of maltodextrin.

The recipe calculator puts rice at 25PPG I'm guessing I'm getting at or the same as barley 33-35PPG and the .250g if Flaked Quinoa calculator rekons 1ppg I'm thinking this is more like 30PPG easily.

I had a preboil gravity of 1.044 so higher than the projected FG.

The wort tasted quite similar to a barley pilsner wort here it is in the hydrometer 1.048. flask

Not bad protine coagulation.

I'm a very happy Hombrewer today.

Smooth Stout in the fermenter, with hydrometer sample and a bottle pour off the last batch. My OG came in 2 points low, and volume a little over, but close enough for homebrew. Time for BRY-97 to do its work and make me some beer.

I had my first boil over today, but was able to contain it and clean up the mess before things got nasty sticky. I should have been paying closer attention to the covered kettle, and luckily I was right there when it happened.

With those results you should be! Nice.

I went from the fast ferment to the all rounder... I have never looked back! I own 6 of them now! Closed transfer and easy cleaning is clutch!

I can't say anything bad about the all-rounder. I bought a fermzilla first and it still sits unused now that I have the all-rounders.
