I ended up going with a malty profile as well. I added Chalk and baking soda to 90% RO and 10% tap water. I added a bit of gypsum as well to keep my s04/cl ratio where I wanted it. Doing this gave me the water profile I wanted and gave me a projected pH of 5.4.

Thanks, Bud. I was planning on leaving it in an extra week with the size of the beer. Brew day went well, for the most part. First time using WLP007 and I'm amazed at how aggresive this strain is. It's been plowing throgh the carboy now for going on 3 solid days without slowing. Thanks...

If you don't mind me asking, how long do primary for with this recipe? I brewed it this weekend and it's bubbling along nicely :)

Got it. I'll need to look at halving the spices you mentioned then as well as I'm doing a 6 gallon batch. Probably the largest grain bill I've had for 6 gallons..... Many Thanks. JG

How much bourbon do you use? Thank you. JG

Now that's a funny post... Cheers, JG

I took a small chest freezer, drilled and widened hole through the back, and then ran wires through the hole before sealing it up with expanding insulation foam. I ran wires for a 2 stage temp controller, small ceramic heater, and 110 extension cord. Pretty easy if you ask me, you just need...

You may consider finding a Brew Club near where you live. If there is one, perhaps you can ask for help? Maybe someone even watch you bottle a batch? It would seem that your processes are okay, however, it's hard to be certain through text.

I ended buying a 4l flask for a 2 or 3l starter. Before that, I would gradually ramp the temp up (2l starter in a 2l flask) on the stove and boil at a the lowest temp possible. If I took it easy on the temperature I could get away with it. Like I said though I got tired of babying the 2l...

Probably the easiest and cheapest way to cool it quicker. I have my son move the pre chiller up and down while I move the IC up and down. This is done near continually until I hit my target temp. Have you measured the water temp coming out of the pre chiller?

Just racked 5.5 gallons of a dubbel. Have a few more days for a zombie dust ipa clone.

I read all the above books when I started a couple years ago, and still use Palmers book as a resource when planning for and on brew day. I would also put a plug in for Yeast by C. White and J. Zainasheff and for designing great beers by Daniels. Both are great resources for improving your...

I would suggest you consider buying the book called Yeast by C. White and J. Zainasheff if you've got a few bucks lying around and are ready and willing to go a little deeper in understanding yeast. The book is a very good resource for all things yeast. I noticed a marked difference in...

Got it, thanks for the quick reply. JG

Hey Guys, Looking for a little help with data managment here. Is there a way to display all the pages of a thread at the same time? One long narrative if you will. Or, can I print all the pages of a thread without having to display each page one at a time? There are a number of longer...

To the OP: Is your grain bill for a 70% effeciency? Thanks man. Joe

Silly question here, but are you all botteling with normal caps or corking? I don't see why carbing to less than 3 volumes would require corks? Thanks. JG

Great Idea... One question regarding the CPU fan. How do you wire it into a household 110 outlet?

Great looking rig, especially for the first time welding. Would you mind sharing your project plans? Thanks, JG

If you don't mind me asking, did you buy the set-up, specifically the frame, or did you build it? Thanks. JG
