Hey everyone! I’m brewing a NE IPA next weekend and got all of my water calculations together only to get an email from my water company today saying that they are: “temporarily changing the disinfection treatment process to free chlorine”. This is unfortunately starting this Monday (4/16)...

Didn't think about that...good point. So I guess I shouldn't be overly concerned with oxidation? Also, I found another homebrew store that's open so I'm heading there after work and should have the keg pressurized in a few hours.

Good call...thanks!

Thanks! Yea I usually have to re-situate the lid some after I gas it up...Hopefully I get it worked out beforehand and what I put in a few minutes ago doesn't leak out!

Hey everyone, I recently made a kettle soured hoppy ale that I racked onto frozen pineapple and pineapple juice and then dry hopped. Super excited to see how the final product turns out. I recently swapped out my keg at my local homebrew store and didn't realize until last night after I...

Ok so I mashed my gose last night. Pitched my vial of wlp672 lacto around midnight and the temp in my garage has been steady at 88 since then. Just taste it and it doesn't taste remotely sour. Tastes kind of like creamed corn which has me a little worried. How long does the lacto take to start...

Very interesting! I'll have to set some hops aside and use them in my next gose. Thanks for all the advice!

Thanks. Any specific water profile I should be targeting? I found this one looking around for some recipes: Profile: Wayland - Lambic Calcium(Ca): 31.0 ppm Magnesium(Mg): 6.2 ppm Sodium(Na): 20.0 ppm Sulfate(SO4): 36.0 ppm Chloride(Cl): 25.0 ppm biCarbonate(HCO3): 61.5 ppm What's your...

Thanks! So basically mash then let it sit in my fermemtation chamber as if it was fermenting at some high temp to encourage the lacto to grow?

Hi everyone! I've been brewing for almost 3 years now (currently on an all grain setup) and will be making beer for my upcoming wedding. I was going to try either a Berliner Weisse or a Gose since my fiance likes those styles. The only thing is, I've never brewed either before and in doing...

Thanks! Didn't know that they counted toward the ABV. Might have to adjust it down some to get more in the 6.5% range I was shooting for.

Thank you! Good call on the oats...I'll probably cut that down some...I was comparing it to Tired Hands HopHands which I heard uses 18% oats.

Hi everyone! I was looking for some feedback/input on a recipe I've put together for a late hopped IPA. I've had some issues before with overly bitter IPAs (possibly from astringency from sparging too high and/or hop bitterness). So I was trying to make a NE style IPA with lots of hop...

Thanks. Yea I was thinking that I just put it in as 1 minute additions to see what the ibus came out to and forgot to change it.

Thanks. Not sure what DP for conversion means this is my second all grain batch. Is that something I'd be able to check in beersmith?
