I just did a 6 gallon batch yesterday and been over thinking it and just wanna run it by anyone interested in giving feedback. Basically just used up some leftover grains I had and came up with this. 7lb 13oz of Thomas Fawcett Maris Otter 6.5lb of Great Western Premium Pale 2-row 1lb of...

He everyone. Looking for someone who has experience with this yeast. I JUST finished making my starter and opened the smack pack and noticed a very noticeable sulfur like odor with it. Is that normal for this yeast?

I have a question about the current odor of my dried and packaged cascade hops. While harvesting them they smelled fantastic however now after some time and being packaged they do not smell like hops should. I am getting the odor of tea leaves is the best way I can describe it. Does anybody else...

Just wondering a couple things about sweet water and if anyone has any solid input. Looking first of all for a solid recipe for their 420 beer and secondly what kind of yeast do they use. Is it a "house strain" that's harvestable from dregs from bottles or is that even possible if they filter...

I have 1lb of Azacca coming and have plenty of other "C" hops on hand as well as Mosaic and Amarillo. I'm trying to piece together a good IPA/APA recipe and wanna definitely use Azacca with something else. Any suggestions would help from anyone who has brewed with them before using them along...

So I did a 6 gallon Hefeweizen batch tonight (OG 1.051) and decided to split it into two different 5.5 gallon glass fermenters. Anyone have experience with doing something similar with this yeast and say this is a good idea? From what I've researched I think it is and should have no bad side...

So I tried to find a thread about this yeast and did through Safari but not my app on my phone, and I forgot my password so I couldn't log in through safari to continue the original thread, so I apologize for duplicating. Here is my following recipe I used for the first generation (did a yeast...

Ok so I just brewed a 5 gallon Caribou Slobber all grain batch two days ago (actually yielded 5.5 into the fermenter so I'm happy with that. I didn't buy the kit from Northern Brewer I just went to my LHBS and got exactly what I needed...

Anyone from the Chicago area has gotta be familiar with Pipeworks Brewing Company. I'm am making a very desperate attempt at harvesting their yeast from a dreg of their War Bird brew since it's only 4.5% ABV. There is literally not one beer that I have had from them that isn't delicious. I have...

So my problem is that I am starting with RO water and importing all zeros for the mineral contents however I also do know that the pH level of the distilled water I am using is 5.4. Now when I plug that in to the "water report input" tab page it doesn't seem to take that into account. With all...

Can't find a straight answer yet...what does everyone plug into the calcium, magnesium, sulfate.....etc. fields in the calculators when using RO or distilled water. I know my pH is 5.4 with Walmart distilled water but every single other thing is "ND". Does that translate to zero's for the...

Should I be concerned about my RA being -135 after my plugged in recipe/salt adjustments for brewing a hoppy/bitter IPA with an SRM of about 12? Using Johon Palmers nomogaph I am trying to stay within the range of what that scale suggests for an SRM of 12....which is 20-30 RA.

From day one of connecting my chudnow regulator from keg connection.com to my 5lb co2 tank it has had this pictured reading where it is and has been staying at the 500psi level. It does feel much lighter in weight since day one and I have gone through about 5 corny kegs worth of beer doing all...

Does anyone have the ITC-1000 here that can hook me up with a wiring diagram/pics of their set up with it? I've obviously found plenty on the STC-1000. Are they the same set up that I can just use one of those diagrams that I found?

Morning everyone!, Sorry to start a new thread on this topic but I didn't want to resurrect an old one from the ones I have extensively read through. From what I gathered is that people have their personal preferences on where they place their probe that is connected to the external thermostat...

I have someone who I work with who owns chickens and is looking to get rid of some sacks of chicken feed. She brought me in a sample in a ziplock bag with "barley" written on it knowing that I am a home brewer and wanted to know if I want the sacks of grain. I told her I have no idea if...
