Just got a new electric Ph meter, came with some buffers to calibrate, but also says you should do so with deionized water. I've had some trouble finding deionized water - would it be ok to calibrate with distilled water? Thanks!

Wondering if anyone has a clone for Brooklyn Breweries Main Engine Start or a comparable Abbey Singel/Belgian Pale? Really miss that beer and would love to try and resurrect it! Cheers Jack

I'm doing a 2 gallon Pale Ale test batch with some homegrown hops for the first time and was wondering about how long to mash my grain bill, and at what temp. I'm thinking 1.5 lbs American 2 Row .5 lbs Caramunich II in a Half gallon of water at 150 for 45 min? The other fermentable...

Just harvested my first couple ounces of Cascade Hops and I'm looking to do a small test batch before committing a full brew to them. Probably a 2 gallon extract or mini mash... I'd like to do a Brown Ale or something other than an IPA, still pretty hot down here in Texas so I'll need to be...
