more gypsum = hop foward less or no gypsum = malt foward

any of yall ever get yer grains mixed up and have to toast a blend? mine is 2-row, munich and crystal 40L think it will jack things up or just make it more intresting?

thanks for the tips nosy. So the beer is pretty good so far. very well rounded and kinda reminds me of pipe tobacco/toast. I rack my beers so that may have saved my but on autolysis this time. I decided to just toss a teaspoonish of slurry in the ole bottlin' bucket and give it time.

hey so like the title says I got lazy and left my beer in its carboy for 2 months it grew a little mini krausen about a month in and it just settled. I want to bottle soon. think I need to add yeast or just give it an extralong conditioning time? The beer smells like beer and ill find out how...

NOt sure what the difference between mashing and steeping is. I go by what i've read in books and what the mash calc says. I Heat my strike water, add in the grains adjust temps with hot/cold water if i have to. Then I wait a set amount of time before adding more hot water as per the mash...

.25oz of licorice root is basically a fat pinch I weighed out on the digi. but yes Ive had it get crazy on me in non beer related projects. tell you what though mint is VERY easy to go overboard with. I recently did a brew where I just tossed in handfuls of diffrent herbs, mint being one of them...

this is the 5th herbed batch ive done. Im playing around with it mostly. In my limited experience the lavender and echinacea come through the strongest and also blend well with the hops and whatnot. Ive used hibiscus in the past to redden the beer without effecting flavor but this time I used...

tagging it as aroma was an editing error on my part. I ended up changing alot of boil times around to get in my desired IBU range. good catch. EDIT: If i remember correctly i was originally gonna toss in the 2 oz of warrior but the builder said that would be over 100 ibu. I thought thats was a...

So I went to the brew shop and forgot my recipe so i bought random grains and hops and this is what I came up with. I Chose to use warrior as an aroma hop so it would hopefully blend with the herbs and let them shine. Im a little worried about the pound of oats and pound of barley though might...

ok so you know how there are multiple tabs in the brew session logs like checklist, water, mash calc. ect. ect. Does anyone else have issues with the mash calculator resetting after switching tabs? I flipped from the mash calc to recipie view and back and it reset itself. This happened a few...

So I'm using agave syrup in some of my recipies. Any one have a decent substitution to plug into the editor? Or a direction to point me in as far as how much of it is actually ferment-able so I can maybe add it as a custom fermentable? Thanks in advance.

Hey gang! I recently stumbled across this place and I got to say it seems pretty sweet so far. I'm new to brewing beer but have been fermenting wild fruits into "wine" for about 15 years. My teks were up until recently fairly old fashioned as the only teaching I had was half a book printed in...
