Eight Ways to Improve Mash Efficiency
Mash efficiency refers to the extent to which you are able to pull the sugars out of the malted grain and into the water. A high percentage of sugar recovery (75-90%) is called 'high mash efficiency'. A low percentage (60-75%) is called 'low mash efficiency'. Since the amount of sugar in the water correlates quite closely to the amount of alcohol you will have in the beer, it is important to understand mash efficiency in order to produce consistent results.
Programmable Brewery Touchscreen Power Controller

How to Assemble a Grain Roller Mill for a Microbrewery/Brewpub
This video describes how to assemble a grist/malt roller mill for a microbrewery or brewpub. Starting with a Crankandstein 328G eight inch, three roller, fully geared mill, instructions are then given on how to connect a speed reducer and electric motor, and mount the assembly on a table for safe operation.

Good Crush Size for High Efficiency and Bed Fluidity
The below image is a high definition picture of the image shown on this page of the BREWHA website. It shows a good crush size that removes the grain husk while leaving it intact, and cracks the grain open without pulverizing it. This crush was obtained with a single pass through a 0.04"/1mm roller gap on a three roller mill.
Great Technique for Improving Mash Efficiency
During the mash, enzymes attack complex carbohydrates in the grain and break them up into more simple sugars that yeast can digest. If all (or most) of the available complex carbohydrates...
Great Technique for Improving Mash Efficiency
During the mash, enzymes attack complex carbohydrates in the grain and break them up into more simple sugars that yeast can digest. If all (or most) of the available complex carbohydrates are modified by the enzymes and extracted in the wort, a 'high efficiency' is achieved. If much of the total available carbohydrates remain in the grain and...
Sparging with the BIAC
While not absolutely necessary, some brewers prefer to rinse or 'sparge' their grain at the end of the mash period to recover as much sugar as possible. While cold water can...
Sparging with the BIAC
While not absolutely necessary, some brewers prefer to rinse or 'sparge' their grain at the end of the mash period to recover as much sugar as possible. While cold water can be used, it is generally recommended to use hot water at 75°C/167°F as sugars will be recovered more readily and the grain bed kept more fluid, allowing easier...

Controlling Vorlauf and Lauter Rates to Prevent a Stuck Mash
Not long ago Dave Miller sent me a link to an article he wrote on vorlauf and lautering that has really helped with questions around increasing lauter rates and preventing stuck mashes. In his article he states that most people lauter (and vorlauf) too fast and while there are many possible causes, the major culprit...

During the process of mashing when making beer, enzymes (e.g. proteins) 'cut' long-chain, complex sugars/carbohydrates (e.g. starches) into smaller sugars that yeast can digest to produce carbon dioxide and alcohol. In order...
Keeping the Mash Bed Fluid and Preventing Compaction
During the process of mashing when making beer, enzymes (e.g. proteins) 'cut' long-chain, complex sugars/carbohydrates (e.g. starches) into smaller sugars that yeast can digest to produce carbon dioxide and alcohol. In order to faciliate the best enzyme-carbohydrate interaction in the grain bed leading to highest saccharification (sugar conversion) and mash efficiency, it is important to keep the grain bed fluid and...

How to Avoid a Stuck Mash and Dry-Firing the Heating Element
Melting a heating element by dry-firing is not a pleasant experience, not to mention it could ruin a batch, so here are a few suggestions on how to avoid this in the BIAC 3-in-1 (also applies to other vessels that use the heating element). In the BIAC, wort from the Mash Colander drains into the 3-in-1, and the Chugger pump pulls this wort out the bottom of the 3-in-1 and returns it...
