Not sure exactly what I'm brewing. Some sort of smoked something.

[Jimmy]

Changed my mind this morning. Heating strike water for an Arrogant Bastard clone

[Jimmy]

Ugh. 90 min boils suck balls

[BBrianBoogie]

Getting set up for a porter

[homebrewcrew]

Just got a bunch of my grain milled up thanks to keggermister. So plan on brewing a blueberry ale, rickards red, dogfish head 60min ipa, and erdinger clone first all grain batches hope things go well.

Today? That's ambitious!

[Jayme]

He must mean over the whole weekend... I suppose 4 batches in 24 hours would be possible... but why? haha.

Doing them all today starting now gonna be a good day.

[McGruff]

An ESB. This is one of those brews that uses up small amounts of spare grains I have had on the top shelf for a couple of years now.

Crazy! How fast can you do a batch?

I think he has three keggles and does brew in a bag, so he could do three at once if he wanted

[Tim Gregory]

I'm brewing a smoked porter and so far its been one of these brewdays where everything that can go wrong does.

So in theory that should make it an awesome beer right?

[pet lion]

An all Columbus hopped IPA that I'm calling Christopher. Brewing up a not too hoppy American Pale Ale for my brother later in the week.

Sounds like my RIS brew day yesterday. Ended up with good looking wort in the fermenter though, so I think I'll end up with beer in the end.

The only drawback I see to BIAB is that it monopolizes your burner - so you have to have three burners available to do all three at once. Before BIAB, I would be mashing while I started the water for the next, and mashing my second as I boiled the first.

Still alive over there? How're you making out?

It does, but at the same time, your brew day *should* be shorter than doing 3 batches non-biab. HBC is (or is planning to very soon) using a single tier, 3 burner setup. I've thought about doing the same with my setup, but just don't have the drive to do 3 batches in a day. Awesome idea though to get a few guys together and brewing all at once, sharing batches or brewing their own individual brew.

All coumbus beers kick ass.

When you guys are working out the numbers for BIAB, are you taking into account 5 vs 10 gallon brewing.

Numbers, as in brewing time?

I hope so. Never had an all Columbus myself but I've grown interested in this hop based on some of Nash's beers that featured it.

im around 3.5 hours without accounting for cleaning.

Yes. Now, if I only knew what the question really was.

Since my software doesn't actually have a BIAB option, I've taken to telling it to mash with enough water to nearly fill my kettle when the grain is added (so typically 4 to 6 l/kg - don't ask me what that is in quarts per pound!), then sparge with what I need to hit 40l. Of course, I don't actually sparge, I just add that amount of water after the bag of grains is removed.

Total time for two 40 litre batches today, 8 hours. The only hiccups were the mild foaming over and the fact that I was making two English ales and realized I had 25 g of Goldings... I came up with 2 oz of Willamette, but the rest is distinctly American. I wonder how those Amarillo finishing hops are going to work on the ESB (hey, I figured as long as I was going to have to substitute, I should use something I love )

[homebrewcrew]

Everything went good got three brews done. The single tier stand is not ready yet so we had planned on using two turkey fryers with keggles. Once we realized that we did not have enough propane to run the second fryer for two batches we had no one that was able to drive.

So we got the blueberry, dogfish head ipa and the rickards done. Will post some pics later.
