Brewed a pilsner yesterday and about 40 mins into the boil I realized I never added the calcium chloride in my (RO) water addition. Oh well. We'll see how this one turns out!

Sounds interesting. I may try a 2G batch with some inventory I already have just to see how it turns out for me. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks. I was hoping that would be the case. I don't really have time to drive to the shop so I'm good to go! Quick lager is one of the exbeerimets or whatever they're called over at Brulosphy where they sped up the lager time.

Hello - I picked up some 34/70 last year thinking I would have time to brew during our COVID lockdown and that never happened! Anyway, I want to make a pils this weekend and the packs have a date of 10/20. So the classic question: Use or throwaway? FWIW, I was going to use 2 packs and they...

Spring...in the Rockies!

I am looking at picking up an Inkbird IBS-TH1 to monitor my mash temps and/or my wort temp when I start cooling but was wondering if the external probe would be OK in hot liquid. I know it says it measures up to 212 but would the cord withstand those types of temps? Seems like a decent price...

I was watching an episode on YouTube from Bearded Butchers that I want to try. But I’ll probably get lazy and just buy a store bought corned beef amd throw it on the grill.

My wife and I were having some kraut and sausages with the bread and she remarked how much she liked the bread and asked if I could make a beer like that. I think she was joking but I thought "what the hell!". I toasted the bread and cut it into small squares and then mashed for the full 60...

I made a stout and mashed with half a loaf of dark rye pumpernickel bread. It was pretty good.

I miss KISS. I started with BIAB because it was simple, fun amd my beer was pretty good. I liked it. My friends liked it. My family liked it. Then I started tweaking this, adding that, buying more gear, chasing LODO, etc. It wasn’t fun anymore, I got busy and pretty much checked out...

my granddaughter turned 1 today! She got an Elmo! :p

I love a good pain killer! With Pussers!!

I routinely brew in flip flops in the summer months. And one thing I seem to do EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. is sit the kettle on the ground for cleaning and then hit my toe on the darn ball valve.
