Just search on amazon for citric acid. You will find several choices

I use lemi-shine every couple of brews on my glass carboys. Cleans off the hard water film i get after soaking the gunk off with oxyclean.

I have spent the last hour or so looking for any post related to suggested water profile for this brew. How to get mine underway early July in preparation for the upcoming fall. If anyone has a water profile suggestions or can point me to a post discussing them it would be appreciated.

Hey, Great summary, now I just need to find more time to brew. Can you share where you got the photo of the "DeWitt Tavern" Pint glass shown with the Bavarian Hef?

So far this year I have had almost half of my bines chewed off as they have reached around 6 feet tall. Last year I had no such problems. I have attached a photo to see if anyone has any ideas what critter/bug is my problem.

Bottled our Christmas beer this morning - a Belgian specialty ale spiced with bitter orange and Coriander. The sample tasted great. This beer used t-58 last year but was changed over to the new Abbaye yeast this year. Will be able to do a taste testing of the two in a few weeks.
