Pimp my lautering tun! It's like tuning a moped, you can always improve a little something.

Lautering. There's only one word to describe the process: Awful. I probably will never brew with this much maize again.

Guide to Mashing and Sparging

Mashing is a process used during all grain brewing to convert the starches in the grain to sugars. Depending mostly on the temperature and time of the mash a variety of sugar compositions can be produced. Brew in a bag (BIAB) is an easy way to go about mashing grain with very little special equipment.…

Had the first meeting with my supervisor today. Got introduced to the plan for the project. We're going to brew a variety of Nøgne Ø Brown Ale, trying out different temperatures for mashing and lautering, and see how this affects the profile of the wort. Hitting it hard with gas chromatography and mass specrometry to look at the molecular differences! We are also going to use two different strains of yeast to see how these affect the results.

We might also try and see if it is possible for us to find a good (better) protocol for making yeast starters for home brewing!

We're starting on Monday by preparing the yeast cultures! Stoked!
