Are there any particular steps to fixing a batch of beer with extra trub / hot-break, or should it settle (as best as possible) on its own? added 3 characters in body |

What are the effects of transferring a mash before lautering? After transferring the mash back to the MLT I began recirculation. |

What are the effects of transferring a mash before lautering? I did recirculate quite a few times, more than normal. The grain bed was settled enough so that the wort was free of grain bits, but the wort remained quite cloudy. |

Any good iPhone/iPad apps for brewing? BrewPal doesn't report your estimated gravity correctly, which is a pretty huge error in any sort of brewing software: ianwhitney.com/hopwise/2011/04/10/… |

Brewed beer turnaround time Larger tanks can ferment at higher temperatures, since the high pressure prevents the yeast from throwing off a lot of esters. So pro-level fermentation is usually faster than home-level. That said, I typically ferment ales for about 5 days, do a diacetyl rest if needed and then keg. Some beers are ready then, others I'll age in the keg. |

Does a smaller false-bottom affect efficiency? Yep, it's a tube connected to an elbow pipe. I'll brew with it tomorrow and see what the efficiency is. |
