Brewing With Total Confidence
Separate names with a comma.
I brew smaller batches of 1.25 to 2 gallons per batch. One of the benefits is a somewhat shorter brew day. I can be done from gathering...
Sort of correct, it won't convert by itself. However if mashed with the other 50% standard 2-row pale malt, the enzymes from the pale malt will...
Just brew it. Report results. I bet it turns out fine. Carapils is pretty tame and doesn't do what people say it does....
IMO, Gose should have an almost imperceptible amount of salt which enhances the beer and doesn't ruin it. Sorry you were misled, man....
The Tilt just plain is not very accurate near end of fermentation when it has a lot of schmutz stuck onto it. With frequent rocking of the...
I got a Growlerwerks uKeg Go 128-oz, which will be wonderful for packaging up my small gallon-size batches. I'm a very small batch size kind of...
I find it accurate within 0.001-0.002 gravity units on most batches. YMMV
Looks great. I would drink a ton of that beer. S-189 is the best of the dry lager yeasts IMO. Cheers.
Pitch rate shouldn't affect attenuation. Recipe and mash parameters would have greater bearing. Also, have you calibrated your hydrometer and...
Ya'll must have never tried S-189 yeast, pitched at ale rates and fermented anywhere from 51 to 65 F (yeah I've used it at both extremes). Takes...
I have not used it yet. However I am confident that just 1 pack should be enough for 5 gallons. I use dried yeast almost exclusively and it...

I am amazed it went down to 1.041. For me, Nottingham has an alcohol tolerance of about 9%. Not a great yeast for very strong beers in my...
S-33 turns out reasonably clean for me with very low non-descript fruitiness that I would NOT describe as lemon. It also comes out clear, not...
I have used vanilla many times. 1 teaspoon in 20 litres will give an extremely subtle enhancement. 2 teaspoons will begin to be noticed by some...

I hate Simcoe with a passion. It's a love/hate hop.
Great post, great questions! I think I can help. Pounds of apples per gallon is based on your own process efficiency. Most processes should see...
I just brewed a biere de garde and did some research. Key point that I never knew: It's a malty lager. Personally I find more similarity with an...
