    Dry enzyme and priming

    3g sachet to add with yeast. This enzyme helps yeast to break down and consume more of the remaining sugars in your brew, creating a lower final S.G. Because it assists the conversion to alcohol, it can contribute to a beer with a drier finish and lighter body.

    Dry enzyme and priming

    Do you need to use less sugar when priming if you used a dry enzyme?

    Making water harder

    Calcium sulphate and gypsum are the same. I bought a 100 grm PAC but did not have any ratios. Just wondering if I put a grm or a hundred per batch

    Making water harder

    I just bought some calcium sulphate and cannot find what ratio to add to my water to make it harder. Anyone use this before and have a ratio for this. Also I read that boiling your water makes it softer. Look forward to any info Happy brewing

    Cooling fermenters

    You can put it in a shallow bath and wrap a towel around or put a t-shirt over it or both and the evaporation will drop it a few degrees. Through some ice in the bath once and a while doent hurt.. Happy brewing The dog

    Racking Canadian IPA

    I will keep fermet temp as low as possible. Around 20c. Once the initial foam is gone from the top. Around 3-4 days. I am going to rack into another fermenter till fermentation is complete or maybe longer.. Then I'll bottle using bulk priming techniques.

    i hate siphoning

    I find that if your carboy I above your fermenter. ie. On the counter and on the floor. You can fill you hose up by submersing it in your beer, then plug the end with you thumb and bring it to your fermenter. Remove your thumb and Gravity should do the rest.. Being clean is a must and hose...

    Racking Canadian IPA

    Just started a Morgans Canadian IPA. My OG was .42@19c. I have never racked off a batch before and was wondering the pros. I assume the cons would be infection and variation of flavors of some kind?? My second question is that the directions stated to have the yeast @a temp 22c - 30c. Would it...
