Subject: Dr. Lewis' Mash schedule
I'm in between brews and got a little bored. I'm a data hoarder so this
information comes from an old HBD from Janruary 1994. Pat Anderson published
his notes of a talk by Dr. Michael Lewis given at Home Brew U on March 27,
1993
titled "GETTING THE MOST FROM AMERICAN MALT."
Dr. Lewis espoused the idea that using a thick mash (1qt/lb?)and setting a
mash temp of
131-140F for 20-30 Minutes and 158-167F for 20-30 minutes is all the mash
that is
needed for modern Malts.
My question is if anyone has tried this schedule and what were the results?
Thanks for any information you' all my provide.
Ken Haycook, PMP

Subject: HBD On The Move...
Greetings, Beerlings! Take me to your lager...
At long last, I've initiated the move of the HBD from its commercial
connection to a hosted solution. I will do my best to keep you abreast
of progress, but be aware that the HBD itself (the email list) may be
knocked out of commission while I wrangle the code to conform to its
new environment - I'll run both systems in parallel until either the
new server will run the scripts, or until the HBD coffers run dry.
Unfortunately, I'll have to whack the existing connection as I simply
cannot afford to run a deficit in the HBD treasury against my own
budget at this time. Hopefully, I'll be able to get the scripts
running under their new environment before that happens.

From: Fred L Johnson <FLJohnson52 at nc.rr.com>
Subject: Re: Problem controlling fermentation temperature
Alejandro is having trouble controlling his fermentation temperature in a
100 gallon conical, glycol jacketed fermentor. Alejandro is experiencing
substantial hysteresis in his temperatures relative to the controller
settings. I have no experience with such volumes, but it seems the community
could use a little more information before we can help.
My first thought is to reduce the differential from 3 degrees to 1 degree.
This would certainly reduce the hysteresis. It would help us to know where
the temperature probe is located, and I think it would also help to know the
temperature gradient within the fermentor from center to wall and top to
bottom.
It seems that minimizing the differential on the controller and optimizing
the placement of the probe would be most straightforward approach to this.
Surely the small commercial brewers have a standard workaround to this common
issue.

Subject: Problem Controlling Fermentation Temp
Alejandro
As I see it you have multiple problems. First your 3 degrees differential is
too high, and let's assume your temp probe is in the middle of the
fermenter. The fermenting wort close to the walls cools fast unlike the
middle. Even when the ferment is rapid it will overshoot your required temp.
Some thoughts for you.
1. Reduce your differential say to 1 degree.
2. Restrict the output of your glycol pump to slow the cooling rate.
Reducing the differential will mean your cooling pump will run more often,
but for a shorter time.
A timer will cause you grief when you need to crash the ferment at the end.
You will need to experiment to get your system tuned to your needs. I would
play with your differential first, keep reducing it and this may be all you
need to do.

Subject: Problem controling fermetation temp
Hi all! I've recently started fermenting using a 100 gal conical, jacketed
fermenter. I'm attempting to control the temperature using an A419
Johnson temp control, set to start glycol flow through the jacket at, say,
68 deg Fahrenheit. The temperature at which the relay is turned off is
defined by the temp differential, say 3 degs. So, in theory, when the
thermostat reads 68 or higher, the glycol starts to flow, until the temp
falls to 65 degrees.
The glycol is stored in an insulated tank ranging from about 23 to 28
degrees.
The problem is, apparently there is a lag time between the moment
that the correct amount of heat has been drawn out from the wort in
the tank, and the moment that the sensor actually reads the target
temperature and stops the glycol from flowing. So what happens is
that the temperature keeps dropping quite some time after the glycol
has stopped flowing, bringing the temperature way below the lower
limit (say, 57 or 57 degrees). This can have quite adverse effects on
the yeast, as you all know.
Since the fermenting wort is not supposed to be moved around in the
tank (which would homogenize the temp and provide a quicker, correct
read), I figure I might use a timer to limit the flow of coolant for a set
length of time, assuming that the correct amount of heat will be
subtracted from the wort.
An opinion, anyone? Do you think this is the best way to go?

Subject: Semi-annual plea for donations, and other help.
Greetings, Beerlings! Take me to your wallet..
For anyone who may have peeked in on the Finances page, the HBD coffers are
on the wane. We could definitely use any donation you can spare - and, if
you itemize on your US taxes, any donation you make is deductible to the
full extent allowable under the law - see the Disclosures link on the HBD
website for the IRS determination letter.
Also, the pace of life is keeping me from doing as much with the code as
required to port the HBD and Brews and Views to new systems. I am looking
for some coding help:
The current system for the HBD is a redhat-flavor, sendmail-based server.
The target is Ubuntu (Debian-flavored), postfix based virtual server
operating under Virtualmin. The scripts that drive it are predominantly
kornshell, with some perl and C thrown in for good measure. If you are
familiar with both OSes, both email servers, ksh, perl, and C, and have the
capacity to dig in and assist, pop me a note and let's talk!
Brews and Views is on that same redhat flavored box and runs on Discusware
Pro. The target machine is, again, virtual and Ubuntu based, and the
software is phpBB. Through the brief research I've been able to do with the
time available, by installing an old version of phpBB, the Discusware
system can be converted to phpBB, and then phpBB can be upgraded to the
current version. If this sounds like something you're capable of and
willing to tackle, give me a shout.
But, primarily, HBD needs funding to continue. Please consider a
tax-deductible donation to our continued operations.
Cheers!

All looks good excepting the mashing water treatment. While the small
addition of CaCl2 is appropriate, it alone is not likely to move the mash
pH down into a desirable range around 5.3. An external acid addition via a
lactic acid or acid malt addition will be required. For German styles,
those acids are desirable since they contribute lactate which is a
component in the overall flavor profile.
You mention sparging water acidification. Due to the very low alkalinity of
Seattle water, there is little need to acidify that water. But it doesn't
hurt. It should only take a few drops per gallon to make the pH drop like a
rock.
