There we go, we have a winner.. Should I take the default Safbrew BE-256 yeast or spring for either the Omega Yeast Belgian Ale R for $8.99 or the Wyeast 1762 Belgian Abbey II for $6.99?

Can't find a single recipe that has a review. Not sure what to make of that.

Can anyone recommend an ingredient kit to purchase online for an Abbey Ale (Leffe or Ommegang clone) or a Grinbergen Blonde clone? I know I could research clones and buy the ingredients myself but I was just hoping for a recipe 'click and ship' solution.

When did you add the citra and galaxy?

Going to brew an AG SMaSH using some 2 row American Pale Malt. Hop choices are Citra, Saphir, or Galaxy. Anyone have any recommendations. I'm leaning towards the Citra but I thought I would through it out there for some other ideas.

I guess my fear would be efficiency of mashing 2 lbs of grain with .5 gallons of water. Would a longer mash help, or should I just plan on trying to sparge really good?

So most people brewing a 1 gallon AG batch would heat up approximately 2.5 quarts to 3 quarts of strike water for 2 lbs of grain, add the grains, mash, sparge with water to get them to 1.5 gallons to 2 gallons, boil for an hour down to about a gallon, then cool to 70 degrees, pitch yeast...

Apologies for re-visiting an old post, but I just started brewing and during a google search for table sugar brewing I came across this post. I don't know if opinions have changed but I am getting ready to brew an Abbey Ale and the 5 gallon recipe calls for adding 10.6 oz of table sugar for...

When doing all grain and calculating water to add to 5 gallon mash tun, is it better to add more water for a thinner mash if your mash tun can accommodate? I have seen videos where people use 1.5qts/lb and I've seen recipes (morebeer.com) that call for 1.1qts/lb. There are 5 gallon grain...

The amazon listing for the Mai Cook ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016XY88AA/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 ) says it works on a 50Hz-60Hz circuit. My voltage is 220V/50Hz so I am leaning towards pulling the trigger on this one. It received good reviews from home brewers and I am looking to brew...

Looking to get a 3500Watt induction cooker like the Avantco or this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016XY88AA/ref=dra_a_rv_bb_hn_xx_P1250_1000?tag=dradisplay-20&ascsubtag=7268c22e082cac49d1bd6d5aac17b287_S The Mai Cook got good reviews from brewers, but as important, the amazon description...

I'll be using this to recirculate ice water with a submersible pump in it.

I live outside the U.S. where everything is 220V 50Hz. If I want to get the Avantco IC3500 can i assume it is one phase and not three? Also, I think these are 60Hz which could present a problem where everything is 50Hz over here.

I am looking to purchase my first wort chiller from the NY Brew Supply. It is their SS wort chiller: https://www.nybrewsupply.com/collections/wort-chillers/products/3-8-x-50-stainless-steel-wort-chiller-with-garden-hose-fittings?variant=42199974356 I am planning on connecting this to a...

So I've had a package of white labs wlp001 sitting in room temperature for a couple months (I forgot about it) and am wondering if it still usable. I was planning on pitching in a 1 gallon batch so i don't need all of it which brings me to my question - Is there any test, or way to tell if it...

I live outside the U.S. and it is difficult to find them here.

Strange question, but I am getting ready to purchase a 20 lb new propane tank online (amazon, home depot, or some other place) and while I can tell it will ship empty, i would also like to know if the tank ships with the valves removed. Believe it or not this is important. So do most brand new...

Is there a brand name that is the best? Midwest Supplies Northern Brewer Home Brew Ohio MoreBeer

Does the liquid eventually need to be emptied (ie. when does it lose its effectiveness)?

If I wanted to check gravity after a couple days how would I make just a small amount of sanitizer solution? Could I mix a little bit of hydrogen peroxide with distilled water, or just use some distilled water?
