+1 I was having the same problem. I followed these same steps and was able to fix mine as well.

Thanks for all of your responses! It's all super helpful! I should also add, although most probably inferred, I'm making a 5 gallon batch. I usually mash with a 1.5qt/lb ratio as I've had better experience doing it that way. Anyway, I used the EZ spreadsheet as well as the Brewersfriend...

Hey everyone. I was wondering if I could get some feed back on my proposed salt additions for this weekend's brew. I have really good water and have brewed about 15 AG batches and they've all turned out great. Now I feel comfortable starting to mess with my water chemistry. Here's my water...

I recently made the switch to PBW. I follow the instructions when it comes to the concentration level. 1oz (2Tbsp) per gallon for 5 gallons is about 1/2 cup (it actually comes out to .625 cups). I let it soak in hot water for at least 30mins, agitating every once in a while.

I've come across this recipe a couple of times now and decided to brew it this weekend so it will be ready in time for Thanksgiving. 15 pounds, Klages malt 2-3/4 pounds, Munich malt 1 pound, Amber crystal 1/4 pound, Chocolate malt 1 ounce, Northern Brewers hops 10%AA (60min) 1 ounce...

I'm planning on brewing a tea-infused beer this weekend and wanted to get someone's opinion on alternative methods for using tea. Would it be possible to treat all of the mash/sparge water before hand, or add teabags at flameout? Introducing it pre-boil would eliminate all contamination woes...

Thanks for getting back to me. I ended up resting at 122F and mashing at 154F, mashout @168F. Initially I had a stuck sparge, but I think I was recirculating too quickly. I gave it a quick stir and slowed down and that fixed it. I was wondering if you experienced any efficiency issues? My...

How'd this turn out? I'm brewing a Roggen this weekend and was also planning on doing a protein rest @120-122 and mashing @154.

I completely emptied the kegs of all of the oxiclean before adding star san just forgot to rinse. :o

I also use Oxiclean and Star San to clean and sanitize my equipment. This past weekend I washed my kegs as normal, but forgot to rinse the oxiclean before sanitizing with star san. This oversight has just dawned on me. Am I freaking out over nothing or will the batch I kegged taste all funky...

Thanks! Would you recommend treating both the mash and sparge water?

Hey everyone. I'm new to these forums and I need some help. I've been brewing for a few years now and until now I've only done extract and partial mash brewing. I'm making the jump to all grain, and I'm brewing my first batch this weekend - a red ale. I sent off a sample of my water and...
