Thank you for the insight! Ok so sounds like its doable. I'm worried that the location of where I want to tap into the drain line wont be a good spot and then the cost will go up. If I cant install a drain to it I've heard of people just putting a large bucket under the sink. Trying to see what...

Hey guys, been a while since I last posted. I bought my first house and would like to begin brewing again. However I want to install a sink in garage that way I don't mess up the kitchen. Water heater is located in garage has anyone done something like this? Trying to get an idea and of cost.

Definitely cleaning up. Some of the malt and roast is coming through for sure. I might let it go for the rest of the week then keg and let it sit at room temp for another two weeks

Clare.......?

I have a sampling port on my fermentor. But totally agree I will pause all sampling until further notice. Thank you for input

Yeah Im hoping for that. Will update. Going to taste this in the next two days.

The OG was 1.049

Ok, so brewed up 6 gals an amber ale and its day 5 of fermentation. The first couple days the fermenter smelled great nice and malty yeasty and just regular fermentation. It did take off and the blow off tube was going crazy for a day or two but no air leaks. Now its day 5 and i'm tasting it...

Has anyone used this? If so how did you control Fermentation temps? trying to find a fridge to put these in but they are all huge. Any ideas?

Will that stuff burn when it gets that hot? What if you use a propane burner?

So my process is kegging. I know its said to put a Co2 blanket over the beer but i dont have a way to do it and ive kegged many times before without a problem. BUT, it could be my problem. I wouldnt say that it tastes stale though.

Definitely going to build up from RO water on my next run. That something new I haven't heard before...? So did using a different yeast really help those flavors come through? I mean I think its water anddd something else so this sounds like its plausible.

So I do use gypsum in the mash determined from EZ Water. Yet...my water report is kinda flakey says most people because 1. Its old and 2. Apparently the city is doing work on it and its inaccurate anyways. I'm trying to determine if this sounds like a water problem or if I'm over looking...

Yeah man I don't want to be that guy but I honestly think its my damn water
