    camco RV hose "Not designed for use with hot water" ????

    well I started to get worried about using my hose I had for rinsing/washing out equipment. I used to use a short 4' hose I bought at the hardware store. I can't remember if it was an RV hose or not & it started to kink so I figured since I've been making a few batches (50+ or so) I should...

    I’ve searched and read several posts on pitching a new batch on top of a trub / slurry that was recently racked. Lots of people are saying to always go with a bigger and/or darker beer. What happens however when you put the SAME beer on top of the slurry? i.e. make two batches of the same...

    Funky taste and smell / odor in brews? Thought it might be infection…have waited !
