    Head count of active homebrewers

    Absolutely, the black treacle gives that ale it's unique aroma and flavor! Vinny D

    Head count of active homebrewers

    That was a great Ale! I tried to find it here locally in the states about a year ago and sadly it was no longer available! A colleague of mine from the UK gave me my 1st bottle, I beleive it was made with black treacle. Vinny D

    Spring Water vs Distilled Water

    Agree, all the minerals were add during the mash for the production of the extract, adding back RO water or Distilled water is best for extract based brewing. Using spring water will work but, it has a mineral content that could affect the final product. Vinny D

    How long is your brew day?

    I'm at about 7 - 8 hours with all the prep and clean up. I like to get all the water minerals, malt and hops measured the day before. This last batch I loaded the water in the mash tun the night before brew day and set the timer so it was ready to mash in when I got up. Vinny D.

    Using AI to design beer labels

    I asked for an American pale Ale and it gave me just that, a ballpark pale ale! I do see utility for those who don't create their own recipes or are just learning how to create a recipe and want a sanity check. I'm not sure if I would use this tool only because, I enjoy the process of creating...

    Force carbonation

    I agree, 30 psi is way out. @puzx, just look for a forced carbonation chart on the net and you will find many of them. It will provide the temperature and pressure requirements for a given target volume of CO2 dissolved in the beer. lowering the temperature will increase the solubility of...
