awesome answer, sorry I couldnt get back to you faster I was having issues with my login at home.

what was the temp you were reading at the top VS. the bottom? How are you mashing, you said it was stainless steel pot. Is the water you are mashing with heated in the same pot or do you add it in from a a hot liquor tank?

Correct me if i am wrong, yes you can molasses but you wouldn't really want to use an adjunct like that to up the gravity. You should be using either some DME or LME added it to the boil. i also agree with comer

Hey guys I had an idea for cooling wort and saving water, I wanted to see what you guys thought. So it is pretty basic, a closed system using a radiator with an electric fan for cooling, and a counter flow for the wort, powered by a 1hp cast iron pump. So basically it would look like...

Hey guys update on this one i was able to find a recipe for coffee stout. I will post the results in a few weeks.

Hey everyone, I am looking to make a caramel stout and I have been looking high and low to find information on how to add caramel to the beer. I have looked over different recipes and malt combinations, but i cant seem to find anything that would work. If you guys have any information...

Thanks again guys looks like i will have to wait 3 more week to see how it comes out, yeah i just wanted to make sure that it wouldn't kill the final product.

Hey Everyone, First off I want to say thank you to everyone who replied to my last post. Now i have a new question; I was making some cider the other day and I needed to add 3 Grams of Yeast. Now that wouldn't had been a problem if the scale I was using wasn't complete garbage. I might have...
