I have a tried and true Berliner I have done over the years with Philly Sour. No hops in the boil. Nothing changed in my process but this time the finished product had an odd smell and taste that I’m describing as cheesy. Every Philly Sour has been excellent up until now. Grain tastes fine...

My Blichmann power controller that I use for my boil pot has died. Blichmann very graciously tried to help, but they don’t support that anymore. What would you recommend as a replacement? I use a brew commander for the mash but need a basic adjustable power controller for the boil pot. Thanks.

I think I came out with a question that hasn’t already been asked on this forum! I didn’t think it was possible. As expensive as lactose is, if I added Camden and potassium sorbate after fermentation to inhibit further yeast production, what’s the downside to adding brown sugar instead of lactose?

I have been collecting parts for my brewery for awhile now. I have a l6-30, 1.5” element and extension cord that are both past the return window from amazon. After the purchase, I’m realizing the importance of an element adapters and all the ones I have seen require a screw in element and hard...

Remember the Bowie bottlers? They were designed for perlicks. Has anyone tried using one with intertap faucets?

Has anyone come across a stainless steel work table without a top? I intend to get the unfinished butcher block tops from Home Depot and finish and seal it, then add it to the top of a SS base for a work surface and a second as a brew stand. Thanks for any help.

Anyone out there using this system? Other than screenshots, I can't find any info on the software. 1/2 the website links are bad. Can you set a series of steps, IE.... 1) ramp up from groundwater temp to protein rest 2)ramp up to saccrafition rest and hold for 60 min 3)ramp up to 168 and hold...

Obviously you use the fridge/freezer for cooling, but what do you typically use for the heating side of a dual temp controller? Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Corona mill is attached to a drill. No fixed RPM, I just try to run it as slow as I can, manually. The results are flour AND whole kernels. I have completely taken it apart and put it back together. I'm stumped. Any ideas? Thanks.

For me, a Crescent Moo'n Brewing Yankee Doodle Shandy. In 5 minutes, all is right with the world again.

Alton Brown reference. In his Good Eats episode on home brewing, he describes yeast as eating sugar and farting CO2. My wife looks at me and says, you're a yeast!!!! Greeeeaaaatttt!!!!!

There are a lot of recipes that call for flavorings, but other than Loranns watermelon, I haven't found a flavoring that doesn't negatively impact the final beer. I know there a lot of commercial breweries that use flavorings in their recipe but never are made public. (I'm looking at you...

Today there is a groupon for the local Ace Hardware. I can get $60 for $30. My current corded drill is on its last leg when I crush my grain. I really am not sure what characteristics to look for in a new drill for grain. (90% of the use of my drill is crushing grain so those characteristics are...
