Brewing With Total Confidence
Separate names with a comma.
I get you on the PH adjustment, but many home brewers don't bother with PH at all because they are still learning all the other aspects of...
You aren't supposed to squeeze the grains are you? Lets bad stuff out? I try not to brew anything under 6%
Not sure how you get away with 6-7Kg after grains being soaked. Sometimes I use 15lb of base malts, not including any specialty. Your grains look...
Yeah I don't know how much water I can get away with putting in based on the grain weight since some grain takes up more space than others so I...
I purposely left out details that I already put in the post previously but for those that didn't read all the way through I'll reiterate some of...
Well this ended up going pretty bad. I have almost 3/4 6 gal fermentor full of gum and the top 1/4 is actual usable liquid. The gravity only has...
This one? https://www.amazon.com/OxiClean-Versatile-Stain-Remover-Free/dp/B005GI8UPI Says it's harmful if swallowed.
Why does a second pack or a starter improve the beer? I thought the yeast would just lag a bit and reproduce in your beer and take a little longer...
So I don't have a fancy setup. I've been using a picnic tap and just running hot water mixed with starsan through my keg and line. The line is...
10% it is, I'll trust you on this one because that makes sense :D
Great observation! I'll keep that in mind.
What % Attenuation do you look for? I always look for close to 90 something % converted because most of my brews do not have high amounts of...
I ordered 4lb rice hulls along with some base grains and DME for making yeast starter so I could get free shipping :D I'm reading I only need to...
I got a place I usually order from and order enough to get free shipping. What is 'cheap' to you. Is $1.19/lb cheap?
Closest homebrew shop is 2.5 hours away and is only open when I'm at work. The next closest one is about 3.5 hours away.
It made good beer last batch. I like to think I'm pretty good at sanitation. I've never had an infected brew... knock on wood. Are you suggesting...
Where can I get enough rice hulls at a good price? Amylase because I want to go 100% oatmeal without any base grains. Noted on the efficiency.
So I'm about to pitch with the same WLP004 I've been recycling for about 4-5 months now and I'm wondering if and when there could be genetic...
Yeah I think I'm going to use 3lb of rolled oats per gallon and hit it with some amylase enzyme and pitch it on this WLP004 yeast cake I have....
