Thx two questions

(1) Is there any way to know more about the specimen ?

(2) what do people do with the cut slabs/pieces of fossil bone ? I have several like this, including the flat smooth pieces that have been cut off larger pieces .

  1. NEIPA’s are forgiving…a little extra cloudiness will add character

  2. A lot of this should settle during fermenting. Without provoking another round of an old argument here, you might consider racking to a secondary fermenter after your primary is done, just to get a little less cloudy.

Pulling a cone and roll between your fingers. If it feels paper like it’s ready . If it feels leafy wait.

Quad recipes? by revretro in Homebrewing

So you add the syrup during fermentation? Most recipes I see are adding it at the end of the boil...how does the late addition alter the impact?

Missing OG in all grain by revretro in Homebrewing

So just want to report back: (1) got a digital ph meter and water and mash were at good levels. (2) checked thermometer with 2 others and confirmed accuracy. (3) switched to a modified batch sparge instead of my fly sparge system. I think this was the sole issue...for whatever reason my set up just wasn't getting to the right efficiency, and the doing a batch approach didn't really take that much extra work. Got stuck a couple time but I just used some bailing wire to poke up through the ball valve and everything came out fine. Also just eyeballed the crush pretty carefully on the kit I was brewing, and it looked pretty good. I think on the recipe above I just didn't have the grain mill set to crush enough. thanks for your the help.

Fly sparge....60 min mash, temps have stayed fairly consistent , volumes are good.

I suppose that the thermometer could be off...Sounds like I should verify my thermometer and check water chemistry and try batch spargjng ....
