Just US-05. Why do you ask?

What are the expected adverse effects the high amount of crystal I used on the flavor? Asking because my hydrometer sample did not taste very good, cidery/wine-like, but I'm guessing that has more to do with acetaldehyde...? Honestly all my homebrews (which are not many) have that crappy...

I adjusted the actual mash temp in Beersmith after reading your comment and realizing a higher mash temp will lower attenuation. My mash temp was a bit higher than what I put into Beersmith, and now the estimated FG with the actual mash temp is 1.017.

What is a more appropriate amount (or fraction of grain bill) of crystal malt?

I have an amber that has been in the fermentor for 16 days (recipe below). OG = 1.062. Fermented at roughly 61-64 degrees steadily.The Beersmith estimated FG is 1.014, although I know that estimate is just an estimate. I took a refractometer reading a couple days ago, and again today. It is...

Bringing an old threat back to life...has there been any successfully tested clone of Prohibition?

I have a NEIPA that I'm transferring from my carboy to my bottling bucket. In the process of auto-siphoning, I stirred up the trub and now my beer went from a nice bright yellow to a light brown. I realized I had stirred the trub after siphoning only 0.25 gallons, and I stopped, so my carboy is...

Well I was thinking of fitting in the pot with the ball valve into the cooler, but now I realize the pot would have to be very small in radius and tall in proportion, so that simply isn't feasible.

Couldn't seem to find anyone posting about this on the forum. Has anyone tried using a stainless steel pot inside a 10G orange cooler for a mash tun? I know there are plenty who say not to worry about compounds leaching from the plastic cooler, but I'd still like to eventually not have hot...

I have a carboy with a blow-off tube leading to a bucket with maybe 2 quarters of star-san solution. It's only day 2 of primary, and there's been a decent amount of blow-off into the sanitation bucket. At what point, if any, do I need to replace the star-san solution with fresh solution...
