For one reason or another, I took a year off brewing. Got lazy I guess so I had grain that was a year or 2 old and just decided to plug in what I had left into Beer Smith and tweak it from there. Here is what I came up with. 10lb Pilsner 2 row 3lb caramel 10L 1lb corn .56lb victory .50lb rice...

Oh, I really got mad about my beer. Everything I did was to the letter and then I tasted the brew pub my boss recommended to me. It became clear as a bullet through the chest. My water in the well did not not make good beer and no matter what style I made, it had the same off flavor. I'm not...

I can only speak from the experience I've had thus far. My water tastes great straight outta the water softener from the well. I could always taste something off in the beers that I made. I switched to RO water from the well and built my recipe (additions) accordingly. It has done wonders...

Don't worry about the water you sanitize with. You only have to worry about the water you brew with. You'll be just fine with the well water.

First time in a while I laughed out loud at a post. Kudos and yes, I have 5g bubbling away right now.

Gonna brew up Yoopers Lake Walk IPA but with Falconers Flight instead of Simcoe. I'm sure it will be tasty.

Uncle, uncle, uncle..... I tried this beer and had to hold my nose to drink it. Ya see, I have 3 Boston Terriers that think skunks are cats to be chased and we live in deep country. Enough said about that. I really thought I would read this and have all my ego confirmed. LOL.... I really...

75 is a little hot. Google swamp cooler on this site for the easiest and least expensive option to cure your problem.

W. Lafayette. Oops, correction Indianapolis. And a little further would be Whiteland.

Inventoried ingredients, organized Beer Smith, made two recipes to get rid of older grain quickly, purchased new ingredients for the next month and watched an air lock bubble. Now I'm on a forum talking about it.......

I thought my water tasted good until I chased a bad flavor. I have too much rust, even after softening to make good beer. It took many batches to figure it out, however the RO system makes excellent beer. Just a thought. Every well is different.

Why do you always have to be a MR. Hehehehe

Back in 2004, I rented out two rooms of my house to a twenty something couple. They had just had a baby and didn't have much money so I thought I was doing the right thing. I needed the money, fresh from divorce. Mind you, I closed on this brand new "vinyl village" house just after the twin...

Why would you not mention water? That was my downfall for all of my all-grain and to a lesser degree, extract batches.

Bingo, however, other family members share my adolescent humor.

I had to make one also. There was alcohol involved so be nice. Family thought it was funny anyway. Preteen daughter loved it so it might not apply to the crowd here and I wasn't creative with the characters. Oh well, have a look. http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/7128137/

So you are saying it is wrong to remove the label and use a roloc disk to remove the custom cap printing and say its mine? Now what do I do? Oh well, I had a good run. Another reason why I keg.

With extract brewing, you don't have worry as much about minerals in your water. That being said distilled or RO water is perfect to kill off flavors. I chased an off flavor for over a year and just recently discovered that the iron in my softened well water was the culprit. I now brew with RO...
