    Appleton area brewers?

    I will second Ritebrew. I was never impressed with The Homebrew Market in Appleton and House of Homebrew in GB is nice, but pricey. Neil is really good and seems interested in what you have going on. I like the fact he offers free pick-up. His crush is good on the grains, great prices, and...

    What the heck do I do with this water?

    Thanks yooper! I'll run the better coffee idea past my SWMBO to up my chances of ever obtaining a RO. I brew 1-2 5gal batches per month so for now I believe I will be running for water. I just want to get rid of that bitter aftertaste which I've read can be attributed to sulfate. My beer is...

    Making hard water soft??

    Wow! Thanks for your insight! I know I have a lot to learn, I am by no means an expert. Nearly all my recipes come from this site and the yeasts used have been nearly all different. My fermentation temps could very well be a suspect, I just put it on the basement floor which right now is about...

    If its diacetyl then why just in the darker beers?

    Making hard water soft??

    Hey all, first post here. My question is do you think it's possible that by boiling my very hard, highly alkaline water before mashing in I am creating soft water? I ask because all of my dark beers, say an amber or darker, have a taste I think is tannins. Butterscotch or anise??? I draw...
