I got a water report from my water purveyor. I know very little about water chemistry. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how it looks for brewing?
Ca+2 =19
Mg+2 =1
Alkalinity =17 (CaCO3)
That all the info in the report. Thanks
I just ordered a pump. I will be setting it up next week. The mush tun has a false bottom that is about 2 inches above the bottom of the tun with a drain about 1 inch up from the bottom. I plan on notching the cover and running the hose in the top with a manifold sitting on top of the wort. I am...
I just got a 16 gallon ss mash tun that I plan on using as direct fire mash tun. I thinking about adding a pump to recirculate the mash. Is it worth it?

A local brewer make an Imperial brown ale that I really enjoy. I would like to try and make something close. The only thing I could find to describe the bear is this.rich warm malt notes to awaken the senses. Dried plum, toasted malts and dark caramel tones finish with a spicy herbal hop flavor...
Has anyone brewed this recipe from the book Modern Homebrew Recipes? If so how did it turn out. I was thinking about brewing 10 gallons and pitching a Belgian yeast in half.
That's what I was going for, a nice brown ale. I going to EKG @60 and some Willamette near the end of the boil. I'm still a little worried about the coffee malt. I was expecting the 70L brown malt.
