Finished brewing this batch yesterday. I didn’t quite get full conversion, but pretty dang close – just a shadow of color change around the iodine drop when I did the starch test. Kind of like when...

Its too bad with the tests we can't differentiate between starches. Out of everything I've tried mashing so far, sweet potato starch has the highest gel temps (172F - 176F). I think you may get...

Summer Wit-type ale, Part I

This is a wit style beer I made my wife last summer (before I ever heard of this forum). It turned out nice, and she absolutely loved it. It’s very low on bitterness (true to style), but higher...

Thanks! Gypsum is calcium sulfite, used to harden your water and often appears in british-style ales. It also lowers mash pH, so I always use either that or Mash 5.4, but not both.

Yeah, I think that should work. The 1 QT part is pretty arbitrary, really all you need is the minimum amount to dissolve the solids and not burn it in the boiling process. Plus, the less water you...
