    Canada Crankenstein 2A mill

    Selling my crankenstein mill with no base. Done about 12 brews on it, works flawlessy and very strong. No rust, the brown spots on the rolls are simply crushed barley dust that I can't get rid of ! Paid 100$ US, asking 50$ ! Thanks !

    co2 out of solution

    Hello, this is the first time I have problems with my draught system. My ipa comes out in foam, the beer lines are full of bubbles. At first, I suspected a dirty beer line so I cleaned it with a commercial beer line cleaner for a couple of hours. I still have bubbles in my line. I haven't...

    Bru'n water help

    I know the gypsum is out of range but even Martin B. recommends ignoring the 100 ppm limit for an ipa. Anyway, even with 50ppm of sulfate, I still get the baking soda cell red and that's bugging me. The cell stays red even if I don't add gypsum So what's the deal with the baking soda ?

    Bru'n water help

    Ok so I've been using bru'n water for a while now but this is my second time using it with 100% RO water. I'm brewing an ipa tomorrow so I was calculating how much CaCl2/CaSo4 to add with the program but I have a problem. Without adding any baking soda, my mash ph was 5.1, a bit too low so I...

    100% RO water

    I'm now using RO water from my local brew shop and was wondering if I should treat the water with campden to remove chloramine ? I guess the filter won't remove those ? It might explain why my 1st brew using RO water tasted weird, I didn't think about chloramine

    Ph meter usefulness ?

    No...it's very hard for me to describe, it's like a strange roundness that doesn't taste beer at all and afterwards, you taste the roasted grains. It's weird. I'll try again with my most brewed beer, my english pale ale, which I've brewed 7-8 times so far.

    Ph meter usefulness ?

    Been brewing ag fo about 4 year now, using tap water, ward labs report and brun'water with salt additions. My beers have mostly been ok, nothing spectacular. I always suspected my mash ph was a problem as this was the last variable I still didn't control ( I use a thermapen for my mash temps...

    incredibly slow starter

    Out of curiosity, what is your ratio of batches to years brewing?

    i brew 5 gallons batches and drin a pint about every day and I brew 5-6 times a year. How come some of you brew like 20 times ? Does your wife or older kids drink your beer ? Do you drink like 3 beers a day ?

    sparging water acidification

    I'll be brewing a stout soon usung ro water. I'll add minerals using brun' water and was wondering if I need to acidify my sparge water ? In brun' water, it mentions that it is not necessary to add acids to the sparge water if using 100% ro water. In which cases adding an acid is a must ?
