I want to do a Belgian Dark Strong ale (Westvletern), when I look at the ''target water profiles" in the" brewing water calculator" I can't figure out which one to use. There is nothing to guide me as to what kind of beer styles all of those are good for. There has got to be a better way of...

I have a 30 amp 240 HERMS system with 5500 watt element in the10 gallon HLT and a 5500 watt element in the 10 gallon boil pot. The Mash Tun is an igloo plastic round cooler with a false bottom. The set up is controlled with 2 PID's one for the HLT, but when I need to raise the temperature in the...

got ya. thanks guys.

I just installed a Weldless Try clamp bulk head that will hold a 5500 watt try clamp elementin my HLT, I am getting it ready for a basement electric brew system. I am hoping to brew soon, but the basement brewery wont be ready. If I don't put the heating element in the pot and put a cap on...

I bought the DerBlue Auarium water level sensor for my HLT. it says it is good to 150 C which is 304 F . Not as strong as I thought it should be, but I will try it out when I get my pot ready. wish me luck

I was looking at one like that, only $12 not sure how good it would be. The design I think would fit in the pot which will have a 55000 element along with the herms coil and with the flow switch things are going to get tight in there. Another concern is it may be close to the heating element so...

thank you for the info, is that stainless steel, where would I look for getting one? It looks better then many I see on Amazon.

I am putting together an electric pot for my brewery. I would like my HLT to have a float switch to protect the element from burning up if the water gets too low, which happened on another pot of mine while sparging. I would appreciate it if anyone has any information on what kind to buy and any...

Well, I was hoping for a little bit more help here. I guess nobody really knows the brewery or the beers. Will save them for a special day.

A friend gave these to me. Does anyone know anything about them, if they are good or just ok. Should I save them for a special occasion? One says "Biere Triple 0'Aroenne" which seems like a triple, the other one says "Biere Brune" sounds like a brown ale.

ok guys I just downloaded an app called "Palmers brewing water adjustment app" and it has just want I am looking for when I select a style. A Northern English ale is Calcuim PPm 50-75 Magnisium ...0-30 Alkalinity as of CaCo3 80-150 Sufate ppm 50-150 Chloride ppm 50-100 Sodium ppm <100...

When you create a beer on any software, and choose a style, the software will show, for example, the OG of an American Amber ale is between 1.045 to 1.056 and the ABV is 4.50% to 5.70%. So why cant they show the Water profile as between lets say CA = 55 - 60 ppm and Mg from 5-8 ppm for an...

so how did you know to choose brown balanced?

I am going to brew a British brown ale and not sure which target water profile to choose. I guessed and put in the Buron On Trent (historical and decarbonated) style. I wish the target water profiles would just tell you what beers they are good for instead of stating the cities water.
