    SOFC question on my first time using it

    I have a freezer and override the power with an STC-1000 that has a temp probe. I put the probe in a thermowell inside the wort and set the STC to the exact temp i'd like to maintain (+/-0.5C). If I were you, and am getting a temp reading of the wort, then I'd set the SOFC to the low end of the...

    SOFC question on my first time using it

    If your SOFC is reading ambient air temps, then your fermenting wort can be 5-10F higher especially at peak fermentation activity when controlling your temp is most critical. As fermentation slows, the temps between difference between your wort and the ambient air will be less. You might want to...

    Pittsburgh/Western PA Group By #9+

    If there is another group buy, please count me in. I'd love to pick up some sacks of base malts, and hope to be able to help out as well.

    Pittsburgh/Western PA Group By #9+

    I need to get in on the next PGH group buy as South Hills Brewing in Monroeville has closed. :( I used Vittles Vault for storing grain - air tight, and has a nice large mouth for easy scooping. http://amzn.com/B0002DJOOI

    Looking for a belgian ipa recipe

    TLDNR; I wouldn't over think it, make an IPA and simply pitch a Belgian yeast. Since this style isn't experimental, and a Belgian is mostly defined by the yeast, i'd brew up any IPA recipe and pitch a Belgian yeast and you should be good to go. I just brewed a 10g RyePA (IPA) and pitched US05...

    California Ale tastes and smells like Belgian Wit

    I brewed a 10 gallon batch of a rye session IPA. In carboy 1 I pitched White Labs California Ale yeast which i used a few weeks prior and had washed. In carboy 2 I pitched a packet of US05. After 2 weeks I took gravity readings before transferring to a secondary to dry hop and in taking...
