Brewing With Total Confidence
Separate names with a comma.
Took three different readings pre-boil, and that is dead on what I was supposed to hit for my efficiency and set up per BF and Beersmith. But,...
Today was batch 100....was pretty pumped until I experienced something I never have at home or at the brewery I work part time for. Pre-boil...
While I don't disagree with what you've put down there, in my experience with infections (which I've had a couple in my days), I always noticed...
Ok, so trial #2....and I think I know what the problems might have been here. While this one wasn't good by any standard, it was definitely...
I'm with you, especially on it tasting spot on and then turning into smashed butthole. I'm crashing two more now for another trial this...
Agreed my friend. Funny enough, because I bottle so irregularly, the bottling equipment is brand new. Typically if I have a brew that tastes great...
I've only tried the one bottle. Agreed, I do exactly the same as you on all else typically. I use a wand, if that helps.
Yeah, it won't do that for multiple reasons. The sugar derivative of whatever cherry you're using could vary, especially depending of how you...
Quick history, I don't bottle often. I did for my first year or so as par for the course when I got into brewing. I almost always keg, with the...
I've typically stay around the 1# range for both IPAs and Stouts. Sure, you can go bigger, but watch your DP. Really just give that mouthfeel...
Johnwk asked great questions that matter, so let us know. My first question would be what was your Mash Temp? If you were leaning towards Beta...
Awesome, thank you for the feedback. I will likely send for it in the near future....looks like it's roughly $35 for the one I need.
I'll take a look into the Ward Labs idea when I have a little extra discretionary for sure.
To those who know water pH testing/analysis: Ok, so long story short, I'm having issues with my new local water authority in getting exactly what...
Dead on. This is exactly what happened the one time I left A) Little to No head space and B) left a ton of residue in the beer during my early...
Wow, I really hope you're not a grade school teacher, unless you live in Russia.
It's definitely the braided hose.....compaction from the grain above causes the "issue" at hand, however it doesn't appear to hinder your efforts....
I'm new to this forum as well, so welcome from another! I'm just hoping I can get a few less "Palmer" responses here than usual. Nothing is more...
I've had great results adding coffee beans and/or cacao nibs at knockout. Agreed with the truth behind specific roasted malts providing similar...
So for years I've always taken my post-boil OG reading from the fermenter (before pitching) or from the kettle once cooled. Recently I've been...
