Aside from the discussion on why one would want to color its beer blue, did some testing on different PH levels. Here's the results. Conclusion is, unless one produces a neutral to alkaline PH beer, color will not be blue. More detail on my blog HERE However, other flowers like hibiscus...

I had my CO2 tank and regulator in the fridge with my kegs, not connected though, the main valve was off and when I openned it, the lower pressure gauge which supposed to be somewhere in the 30psi (I was previsouly carbonating a kep) jumped to end of scale and safety valve openned. I quickly...

Moving to batch 100. Started in Nov 2008 and here are the numbers: -500 gallons -15 barrels -4000 pints -1892 liters -5333 cans -444 12packs and honestly, so much to learn, so many styles to brew. Best hobby ever!:mug:

I was thinking on splitting my brew sections by mashing my grains and storing the wort in 34F in a keg with CO2, then continue the brewing some time later, days, weeks? I'm assuming proper sanitation and low temps will keep bad yeast/bacteria under check. Anything bad with this plan?

Would a starter bennefit if it is done using real wort, comparing to extract or any other source of sugar? I have this small mash trun that I use for testing and thought it wouldn't be much hassle to mash half gallon to be used for a starter. I was planning to use base malt that match the...

Here's my attempt on a clone.

I have always done 60min boils and my calculation of attenuation has been very accurate. My last boil was 30min only, to increase chill haze in the beer. The attenuation of this batch was much higher, making me think it is related to the short boil driving to a more fermentable wort. Is there...

Palmer stated in his book that Sodium from 70 to 150ppm would increase the perception of sweetness in the beer as long as SO4 is kept low. How the experts here think about that? I was planning to add some baking soda to get about 120ppm of Na for that purpose (all other minerals under check, low...

Here's my electric brewing setup. http://beertech.blogspot.com/2012/09/electric-brewing.html

I was grinding some Carafa 2 for my homebrew and thought I would brew some coffee with that to see how it would taste. Used 1/2oz of Carafa2 for 4.5 cups water on my regular coffee maker. Perfect, even though this was my first time drinking barley coffee, it was very drinkable and for sure a...

Got started with my electric brewing and yes, bought the temp controller without the manual option to adjust the boil :(, so had to come up with this circuit. I know this is out there by the zillions, just wanted to share. You simply install this between your controller and the SSR and let you...

I recently started kegging and my first two purchases of 5lb CO2 refiils were ripoffs as I paid for 5lb and only got 4lb and 3.8lb respectivelly. I weightned the bottles full and empty on a digital scale that had 1oz accuracy. I'm wondering if I'm the only one checking this and if this a common...
