Thank you, I am in the right track. I will add the baking soda to the water before heating. David

I don't really understand the tool, and cannot open it on my android. If My mash ph is 5.0 after dough in, do I add Baking soda to bring it near 5.4? Tried this and made a volcano. :) I may be able to download the program on my work computer, but thought I would ask here. I make 11 gallon...

Made it twice. First batch the only grain I had was Marris Otter and it came out a little too much. Next 11 gal batch I used Klages and added 1/2 lb light crystal. Both batches came out just over 5%, I was shooting for 4, so less grain next batch. Second batch looked perfect. Nice head...

You are looking at a $3 diffuser stone. I bought a 2 micron stainless steel diffuser. See the difference? Just pony up if you want better beer. I am a welder, so I get a 80 CF O2 bottle and regulator for free. David.

I use a conical fermenter. I dump the first trub on the first day. After about 3-5 days the yeast comes out looking good. David

Yes it will do the job Learn how to use it first. I own a welding shop. The Machine will work for the intended application. Just don't expect to make a living with it. David

I have done both. I started with a b eer machine. Then I started reading how beer was made. After A Year I was doing all grain keggels. After 15 years, my living situation changed and I did extract on her front porch. Still 10 gallon batches. Living situation has changed twice more and I...

5L mini kegs are difficult to clean. They also distort if slightly over pressure. They use those little 5g Co2 cartridges that get expensive real fast. Just go to the real thing, you probably will In the end. David
