Hey everyone What grain thickness do you usually use on the brewzilla, I've been going with 4.5L\kg to avoid having to sparge as much. Also, I've been stirring almost constantly during the mash, with the pump on, is this okay or should i let it sit? Wondering if either of these is killing my...

Hello hello everyone, I am going to be making my first starter tonight, and I have a few questions. I snagged a 1L flask, and was told to add 100 grams of DME to 800ml of water, so I figured I'd go that route. My question is, if I pitch the yeast tonight at say 7pm, let it ferment over...

Hello everyone So I moved to a new place at the beginning of september and I'm finally ready to brew my first batch in the new place. I placed a couple of glasses around the house in acceptable fermentation spots (where I can let the carboys sit and do their thing) and the lower temp I...

So I picked up some Club House Pumpkin Pie spice from SaveOn during the week, and it tastes damn good in coffee and in dessert, so I figured I could use it in a pumpkin beer. Im just wondering if anyone has used it before and what kind of results it produced. Im torn between using it, or...

Hey everyone! So I want to try lagering, I think it'd be awesome if I could actually pull it off. Now I don't have an extra fridge or anything to lager it in or ferment at the colder temps, but I do live in canada and fall is rapidly approaching so I was thinking of wrapping my primary in a...

Hey everyone, So i brewed this porter, and let it ferment for 2 weeks then moved in to a secondary where it's sitting on unsweetened, toasted coconut. Its been in the secondary for a week and a half and I just noticed that the coconut is getting "patchy" Should I be worried?

Hello everyone, So i made a 19L batch of pumpkin ale on sunday, OG of 1.065 and pitched it with Wyeast 1056 at room temp (around 20-22C). Wort was well oxygenated and left to ferment in a bucke in a dark corner with a blow off hose. It's bee a solid 48 hours and not even a single bubble. I...

Hello everyone, I'm thinking of brewing a pumpkin ale in a few weeks in order to have it ready for October. I've never done a fruit / vegetable beer and figured this was a good way to get into it. I've done a bunch of reading on how to add fruit, and noticed that the most common time to...

Hey all, My mashton is a 47L rectangular cooler, which is great for bigger batches; but I want to have a go at a 3.75L batch (1 gallon). Any ideas on how I can use the same mashton for this? Cheers!

Hey everyone, I did my first brew on saturday and well, i missed my target gravity by quite a bit. Target original gravity was 1.045 and I ended up with 1.034. I plan on trying a few different things next time to see if I get better/worse results, but the one question I had was: is my grain...
