    Issue with wort chiller

    City water. It was a few years old and with the stretch of super cold weather and the probability that there was water in it and it froze, thinking/guessing that’s probably the cause.

    Issue with wort chiller

    Thanks everyone, cooled down to 68 and pitched the yeast. Now to buy a new wort chiller. Found more holes, just too many to fix.

    Issue with wort chiller

    If it were a couple weeks then absolutely (like 5 degrees). Now we have rainy and temps in the mid 40s-50s.

    Issue with wort chiller

    So this is my fault for not thoroughly checking everything before I start but with 30 minutes left in my brew, i see that my wort chiller has a whole in the copper. I have a beer fridge that i can store it in to try and bring the temp down, is that my only option?

    Hard Iced Tea

    I just re-brewed this for a friend today, he really like it the last time. Last time it ended up at 7.5%, back sweetened and added tea (because it lost all of it's tea flavor), it went down to 4.5% which isn't bad, but we want it a higher. 5 Gallon of Arizona Southern Style Real Brewed Sweet...

    Hard Iced Tea

    I made the OP recipe (arizona sweet tea). I fermented about 6 weeks (maybe longer), it ended up at 7.5%. However, there isn't a whole lot of tea flavor left. I need to back sweeten and it def needs more tea flavor, I'm ok with loosing ABV points. I'm thinking about either making a...
