Anyone ever try one of these? What are your thoughts? I've been doing this in my five gallon corney with the Clear Beer Draught System so this looks like a slightly scaled up version. https://www.morebeer.com/products/kegmenter-fermentation-keg-76-gal.html

When we take a pH reading during the mash we always cool the sample to whatever ambient temperature the calibration solution is, then take the reading. Do we want to adjust that reading to what the pH reading would be at mash temperature and adjust accordingly? I was under the impression that...

So I'm thinking of brewing this one. It's based on Braufessor's legendary NE Sytle IPA thread. I've brewed his recipe before and it was awesome, but I'm thinking of increasing the Wheat Malt a bit and adding rice hulls to help with the re-circulation in the hope of avoiding any cavity issues in...

I've been spending a few months watching all the YouTube videos I can find about Mead making; went through all of Brad Smith's podcasts with Michael Fairbrother, Steve Piatz, Ken Schramm, and Curt Stock. Even found some from BrewingTV's videos with Steve Fletty and Curt Stock. Did quite a bit...

Moving up to a 240v system so I'm selling the 10 gallon 120v setup. I have a couple of holes drilled in the top for recirculation and whirlpool. This setup includes the following: G1 Kettle - New (G2 version) is $309...

I'm selling my 15 Gallon Brew-Boss system. I bought the system back in 2015 and everything is in great shape and well-maintained. I don't brew all that often so it's been used maybe 6 or 7 times? I did add etching to the inside of the kettle for gallon markers but they're about a quarter...

Found this on the interwebs and thought I'd share. :mug: http://www.brewunited.com/yeast_database.php#

Hi Everyone, I just got back a water report from Ward Labs and wanted to see what you guys thought about it. I do have a Pelican Whole House salt-free water softener/filter and here's what's left over after it passes through. I currently treat all of my brewing water with acid down to 5.5...

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if you guys had any ideas, based on your own experience, what would be a good SMaSH (or a grouping) set up based on what I have. I picked up a bag of Golden Promise from the LHBS and I picked up the following hops at Hops Direct. I also have some WLP029...

Just a quick question. Do you guys leave your line from the CO2 tank to the keg hooked up? Do you leave it hooked up with the gas on constantly or do you pressure up the keg at server pressure and then disconnect the line and turn off the tank? I've been doing the pressure up the keg 12...

Whatever the mood calls for... it's nearly 3 here today at work so:

Just wanted to see if anyone has used or has any experience with any of the Berkey filtrations systems. My only concern with using them for preparing brew water is the fact that they dont filter out all the minerals, thus making water adjustments a little difficult. Thoughts...

Here is a list of what Ward Labs recommends as standard levels for your drinking water. Some of us are still learning and I thought this guideline would be helpful let everyone know what the normal levels are supposed to be. Drinking Water Standards pH: 5.0 - 9.0 = Safe Total...

Just got the water report back from WardLabs and wanted to see what you guys thought. I do see a red flag when it comes to the Nitrate level with UNSAFE in parentheses. :confused: So what do you guys think is the best style to brew with this water? pH 7.6 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)...

Just wondering if anyone does their lagering in a keg? Two or three weeks primary (depending on what the hydrometer says) at 52F and then into the keg for at least a month at near freezing (again depending on the starting gravity of the beer, what I use is 1 week per degree Plato from the day...

All, I want to purchase a PH tester but there seems to be varying differences in testers on the market today. I've never used one before so I was wondering if you guys had one that you'd recommend for its useability and where to get it? Thanks!

Just wondering what would be everyone's recommendation on how much Calcium Chloride and Calcium Sulfate to add to distilled water for general brewing. I've done a little bit of research and most of the guidance I've seen (thank you Yooper, and ajdelange) recommends 1 tsp of Calcium Chloride...
