Re: Chocolate Milk Stout

I developed this Milk Stout base to use in all kinds of different variations, including coffee. I want to try soaking some beans in rum then filter through them ;)

Re: Mash and Boil for 250.00

Did you double check your kettle volumes? I was thinking I had low efficiency for my first few brews, then checked my volumes. I was off about .5 gallons, so I was collecting 6.5gallons instead of 6 like I thought. So my efficiency was better than I calculated.

Re: Mash and Boil for 250.00

Brian, years ago when I built and raced drag cars, I learned if you change too many things at a time you don't know what helped or hurt. One thing might be the greatest but the other thing might have not been so good. Just my thinking and I apply it to brewing It all makes so much sense now! I'm a ...

Re: Mash and Boil for 250.00

I just ordered one from him. I'm debating using it this weekend or waiting until my next brew to isolate what changes make the most difference.

Re: Chocolate Milk Stout

First taste test and it still only half carbed. It's a bit thin which is a shame because it tastes good, but doesn't feel good. I'm hoping the carb helps a bit. I wish there was a way to 'thicken' it a bit but it is what it is, an easy drinking beer and the wife likes it and I'll count that a plus....

Re: Mash and Boil for 250.00

Welcome to the borg. You’ve done some really great mods to the M and B.I’ve done three brews. All were 3 gallon biab. That’s all I plan on doing because I like the simplicity of it.

Hello everyone! I've been involved in the conversations going on over on the FB page for the Mash and Boil, and Berryman invited me over here to check things out. I've had my M&B for about a year now and have done about 18 batches on it. I bought the unit originally to do small BIAB batch as tes...
