What are you doing with homebrew today?

Trying to mash buckwheat:eek: geletanisation ATM 85c a nightmare it won't even run through the biab bag thing of a gummy mess

See no water at the bottom could burn out the element easy here...
 
What's my og? The numbers are confusing
Why does it say 110 then 120 after 1.100. I think I understand the 1.100

Use some rice hulls.

Ah thanks Don like I didn't just use metric F ton.
No amount of hulls would got that running as you see it wasn't a lauter issue the slimey mess has literally gummed up the bag.
Yeah if you've mashed high amounts of Rye this is similar

Starts at 1.000 (Specific Gravity of water at xxx temperature)(Maybe starts at 0.980, then 0.990...)
Goes to 1.010, 1.020, 1.030......1.090, 1.100, 1.110, 1.120 and so on.
Some call "1.054" just "54". Your image shows a gravity around 110, which could ferment down to perhaps 1.020, delivering an Alcohol by Volume of around 11.8%. Powerful stuff!
Here's a calculator: https://www.brewersfriend.com/abv-calculator/
 
If the ABV is that high maybe it is a good idea to check the alcohol tolerance of the yeast you are using
 
Just watching the fermentation of my IPL via the tilt. Temps are in the high 50's, but it's 34/70 so it should be fine. Usually I would be fermenting under pressure, but I'm adding 3 oz of dry hops when there's about 10 gravity points left. Then I'll cap it off at 12 psi
 
Spent some more time working on the brewery again today

Oxyclean will do it!

I decided to take the head off my little brew pump after the brew day the other day.

It was cutting out when I was throttling back the flow.

Well what I saw wasn't pretty.
I use cotton cloth to tie my hop bags to suspend in the boil.
Well bits of this was wrapped around the pump impellers and had gunked up the works.

That's been soaking in Oxi

Today I’m brewing Use ‘Em Up Amber Ale.
With grains crushed and plenty of flour, I’m waiting again for mash water to cool from 170F to 158F. I have overshot my strike temperature on the past several brews. Oh well, practice patience. I can watch the weather outside change from blowing rain to sunshine to maybe some snow later today.
