Could anyone help my out by taking a look at my entries I made using EZ Water. I imputed my ward lab report and the grain for the beer I'm brewing. I then just played around with the water additions until I got everything in the green and the mash PH in the ballpark. Does this look right...

So I am a complete idiot. I have a bourbon porter in a secondary it's been there for a month. I was looking at it today and my 3 peice airlock only had 2 peices on it. It was missing the peice in the middle that goes in the water to protect it from air. So basically it's been open to air for...

Good Evening. I am bringing a 3 gallon keg of barley wine to a special event. It will be in a 10-gallon cylinder cooler. I will have the keg in the middle on the bottom surrounded with ice. It will stay this way for 8 days and I'll be using free ice from the hotel to keep it going. I...

Hello all, I brewed a Belgian 7.2%abv. It has been bottle conditioning for 2 months in 700ml and 375ml bottles with corks. It was in secondary for 1 month. I do want to let them age longer but I have a tried a few. This was the first time I added more yeast at bottling time. When I pour...

Today I received my water report from wardlab. This is tap water from the Greenville SC water system. I am brewing a Scottish Ale on Friday. I have various brewing salts and acids. What should I do to get this water ready for the mash? I have never adjusted my water before so not sure how to...

Here is my water report for greenville SC water systems. Is this enough information for AG brewing adjustments or do I need to send the sample to ward labs? If so is the W-6 testing sufficient? Thanks http://www.greenvillewater.com/waterquality.pdf

Hello I have a carbon filter that I filter my tap water for AG brewing. I am going to send in a sample to Ward Labs to find out exactly what I am working with. Should I filter the water first and then send it in or should I go straight from tap. If I do go straight from the tap should I stop...

Yes this is all the information I have on the water at this time. I will have a full sample from ward for my next batch. I'm glad to hear that this water should be excellent for brewing. You mentioned using the recommendations of the Water Primer? What does this mean?

Hello I am trying to make sense of my water report. It is my first AG batch and trying not to make it too complicated but if the water is just way off I don't want a bad batch. I am making a brown 1.046 OG. The water tastes good with just a hint of chlorine taste/smell. The report says 2011 but...
