    Bicarbonate Level Question

    Thanks for the input. I will lower both for my next brew day. West coast IPA is on deck next and Im trying to avoid the same finish taste this beer has. So nothing to be concerned with on the bicarbonate front? Or any other reccomendations?

    Bicarbonate Level Question

    I used the same water profile on a DIPA I made a few months back and did not have the same off finish flavor. Im not sure if it was masked by the higher ABV or not.

    Bicarbonate Level Question

    I'd describe it as very sharp raspy finish. Almost like putting baking soda or epsom salt directly in you mouth. I used American ale yeast II fermented at 68 degrees. If nothing appears to be problematic could my mineral levels be higher or concentrated due to an above average boil off rate on...

    Bicarbonate Level Question

    I just made a pale that seems to be loaded with off flavors. Im fairly new to Bru'n water so it may have nothing to do with my bicarbonate levels, but I figured I'd run it by everyone. I've read a lot of posts relating to bicarbonate and may not be fully comprehending it correctly. My tap water...

    Water Report Assistance

    So I finally brewed today and Im not sure if I ran into an issue with faulty PH strips, or if my PH was very low.. Room temp mash ph was showing about 4.8 or 4.9. (I was aiming for 5.35). The strange thing is the strips were showing roughly the same color with : cold, warm, or hot wort. So I...

    Water Report Assistance

    Should I be able to produce a fairly good IPA based on the provided pictures I have entered into your bru'n water spreadsheet ? Or is my profile and logic severely flawed. I am brewing tomorrow. What are your recommendations. Thank you

    Water Report Assistance

    Looking for any advice and all on my water profile.. Any info would be appreciated. I am new to water profiles. I usually make 22 gal batches and am looking to create a good all around water profile for west coast style IPA's, and APA's. What would be my best bet additions wise? Gypsum and...

    IBU's too low

    Thanks for the input lol.. Just spent the day making 15 gallons of milk stout. Now I'm just going to act like the mistake didn't happen LOL.... I have had a few other very low IBU stouts that tasted good.. Hopefully I don't wind up sitting on 15 gallons of beer no one wants to drink..

    IBU's too low

    Thanks for the input.. I think I will just ride it out.. I has around 3 lbs of flaked wheat in the mash.. Im just hoping it doesn't taste too off. Just sucks realizing such a stupid error after a brew day..
