I have very soft water in NYC and wanted to see what my large gypsum adjustment will do to my water profile. According to palmer's calculations, I need to add 6 grams of gypsum to get my Ca level to around 125ppm for a pale ale with 3.3 gal of mash water (my tap water has 5ppm of Ca and 5ppm of...

I've brewed about 15 beers now but am actually taking my first brew, a CA Common I named Keep Austin UnCommon (I went to UT Austin). Brewed it as a PM on around November 2008. This is the local portion of the Sam Adams competition. Anyways, wish me luck! :tank:

Like some people have breathalyzers on their car, I should have a beer-IQ test on my keyboard that prevents me from posting in this forum (I'm only 15 batches in). BUT.... My question is: Assuming I didn't screw something up, my 2 AG beers that I have brewed are much more cloudy during...

So about 40 of my closest friends and I are going to converge this July at a riverhouse in Texas for a weekend of tubing, grilling, drinking, drinking and probably a bit of drinking. :rockin: I'm the only brewer in the group and want to brew a couple of beers to take down there. Question is...

Tues. 14 Apr '09 People | NEW YORK CITY Le Beer Geek At DBGB, Daniel Boulud will usher in a new era of Good Beer After Daniel Boulud famously elevated the hamburger to luxury-goods status, should we be surprised that he wants do the same for beer? Probably not, but we had no...

I brewed yesterday with some remaining ingredients I had laying around and wanted to see what you guys thought I brewed. Based on the hop level/type I'd say an American IPA but the grain bill is a bit nutty so I'm curious. Thanks all and happy Easter. ------ Ingredients Amount Item Type...

In honor of Jesus, doing my first all grain right now. Just doughed in my American IPA. Wish me luck! :rockin:

I live in NYC and we have relatively soft water here and after going over my water profile realized I am low on calcium levels. Since I'm brewing tomorrow and NYC doesn't have a LHBS store (bastards!), are there any other ways to raise the calcium level in my water without gypsum or other...

I have a lager that had a primary fermentation (at lager temps) for about 6 weeks then an extended secondary lagering for over 3 months now (haven't had the time to get to bottling). Well, I am finally going to bottle this tonight and wanted to see if anyone though I should add a bit of dry...

I have a lager (AHS Shiner Bock clone....yes, I know you don't like Shiner, no, I don't care because I grew up with it :D ) that has been going for a couple of months now. Fermentation/conditioning schedule: 1. Primary starting at 68F degrees for 1 day then over a two day period reduce...

Anyone seen one at an online purveyor? I have looked and searched through the forums and haven't had any luck. I'm tired of breaking the cheap plastic ones. If someone has other ideas/equipment for a higher quality auto siphon would be appreciated.

Other than brewing, wanted to see if anyone could beat my Friday plans. I'm having a surprise Mardi Gras / Birthday party for my roommate where I'm making a huge pot of gumbo and red beans and rice. Also going to be drinking some of my recent CA common, SWMBO slayer, pumpkin ale and...

I sent this out last Friday and didn't get any responses so wanted to give it another shot... ----- They say there are no stupid questions only stupid people, so with that in mind..... I've noticed that my beers that get high krausen sometimes don't completely fall. For example, this...

They say there are no stupid questions only stupid people, so with that in mind.....:drunk: I've noticed that my beers that get high krausen sometimes don't completely fall. For example, this happened in my lemongrass wheat (which I believe now is infected) and after about 4 weeks in...

So I brewed the AHS Lemongrass Wheat kit (recipe below) a few months ago and tried it recently. My questions about it: 1. Completely a clear beer, doesn't have any of the wheat cloudiness. Why is this? 2. Seems to have a distinct off taste. Not necessarily green (esp since this is a wheat...

I cleaned the inside rim of my 6 gal Better Bottle with my bottling brush before thinking of the implications. Other than berating me, wanted to see people's thoughts on remedies (if any) to ensure I don't get infections due to the scratching I caused. Thanks.

Evening yall: I would like to do a smoke a brisket and a pork butt this weekend on my Weber kettle grill however the weather here is going to be in the 30s. I wanted to see what people have used to insulate the grill. I've heard of aluminum bubble insulation (without plastic in it) and/or a...

....I keep putting in orders for supplies/equipment after EVERY paycheck! My bank account and tiny apartment aren't appreciating this hobby. My liver probably isn't much of a fan either. :rockin:
