What is the purpose in adding unmalted wheat to a beer? It's still important to heat the wheat to geletinization temps, or the starch won't be available for conversion. |

Mash Efficiency vs Brewhouse Efficiency I think you need better software :) I use Beersmith and it has fine grained controls over train absorption, mash dead space, kettle dead space, etc. It takes a while to get the right numbers dialed in, but then determining water volumes and grain weights is a breeze. Other popular programs are Beer Tools and Pro Mash. I expect they have similar controls. |

Why is my starting gravity low? I've never let the sparge water sit on the grains before draining. A good stir is needed to distribute the sugars, and a vorlauf is good to clarify the wort, but waiting accomplishes nothing. I get close to 80% brewhouse efficiency on normal strength beers with this technique. |

Why is my starting gravity low? There's no benefit to batch sparing slowly. With fly sparging it's important to go slow so as not to create channels in the grain bed. Likewise there is no advantage to leaving the sparge water for 30 minutes before draining. Add the water. Stir thoroughly and drain. |

Wine yeast for beer? But beer yeast makes good cider. |

Is this a stuck fermentation or did I screw up the mash? Did you mean to suggest adding yeast to one of the samples in your proposed experiment? |

Slight fizz in beer after 6 days in the fermenter - game over? The high gravity reading is probably from not stirring the wort after adding top up water. |

Does adding extra sugar to dark ales (e.g. stouts) better their flavour? True. What I should have said is that a beer made with sugar will have less body than an all malt beer of the same strength. |

Does suspended yeast contribute to high SG? Maybe you and and @mdma need to duke it out over the affect suspended solids have on gravity readings. You both make reasonable arguments. |
