Wow, only 21 views and no replies. Anybody have any suggestions? I could just use 6lbs of the light LME and no adjunct or carapils....anybody ever brewed a straight bill like that? I'm afraid it might be too boring (as if the style isn't already!).

And just in case, the rest is just light LME (3.3lbs) and some hallertau.

I'm trying to finalize the list for a light american lager I want to brew this weekend, but am having a hard time with the rice...My local homebrew shop doesn't have the rice syrup that the recipe I found calls for, but does stock flaked rice. I will be partial-mashing 8oz of carapils, and am...

Generally, yes. But if it's due to high levels of proteins, it'll be crystal clear going into fermenter and then still hazy as heck after fermentation, crash cooling for months at a time, etc.

x2! These are VERY important questions that all too often neglected on this and other forums. I've fought this issue, and it was the malt all along (nobody sugested that in my cry for help threads, but Menschmaschine steered me in the right direction - THANKS BTW)! To fix my chill haze...

Could be high protein malt. I had a 55# bag that every batch I made with this as the base, was chill hazed. The last batch of the 55# bag was clear, after trying EVERYTHING mentioned above and then some. What fixed mine was actually lowering the protein level of the total grist. Some malts...

I am brewing a California Common tomorrow, and using plain RO water. Any ideas for my brewing salt additions??? From designing great beers, my goal profile is: Calcium: 36ppm Magnesium: 25ppm Sodium: 17ppm Carbonate: 80ppm Chloride: 26ppm Sulfate: 20ppm So it's rather plain/soft...

PLEASE LEAVE THIS IN THIS FORUM! :) I just finished my stir-plate...I will be using a 1000mL flask and a 1" stir-bar. Now I didn't have a hard drive magnet to use on the PC fan inside, so I bought some rare earth magnets from Radio Shack (little ones, 4 total). They are crazy strong, and I...

I'm also wondering if the larger bar would serve me well. I'm using the 1" bar in my 1000mL flask currently. Hmm?

Any pics of your magnets so I can get an idea what the spacing should be? I played with them for hours trying to get a vortex, and no luck. I've got them within just a few mm of the top of the enclosure, and that made all the difference in the world, but it's still not enough I guess. The bar...

This isn't about the build, so why DIY?? It's about what yeast need to propagate properly and the amount of O2 needed for them to do so. Please move it back to the other forum. The "gurus" of starters don't spend all their time in the DIY forum, they are in the tech forums. Thanks. Edit my...

I just finished my stir-plate...I will be using a 1000mL flask and a 1" stir-bar. Now I didn't have a hard drive magnet to use on the PC fan inside, so I bought some rare earth magnets from Radio Shack (little ones, 4 total). They are crazy strong, and I get a very nice swirl in the...

In my years of hiring/firing, I found that the employees who are happy with their position with the company and typically stick around relatively "long term", are needed AND wanted. Just being needed doesn't mean you'll be happy with a position.

Either use the spray bottle method as mentioned above, or fill it to the top with water. Pressurize, and turn it upside down. With the water on the "top" now, and the keg pressurized you should able to see quickly where the water is leaking from. Where water leaks when the keg is upside down...

I made it and liked it pretty well. I appreciate the complexity of his hop schedule, as opposed to using all cascade for aroma or all centennial like many recipes I see floating around do. I mashed on the warm side (153-154º) to try and give it a bit more dextrinous wort that I always look for...

Chill wort to near freezing in bottling bucket....once chilled down and stable (usually 12-24 hours later), the break will be amazing.....rack off of the break/trub to carboy....aerate....pitch yeast....bring beer up to fermentation temperature and hold for remainder of fermentation. Rack to...

Sounds like success! 76% from the Cry Havoc is pretty good!!! I've been playing around with the idea of subbing a little table sugar when using it to get a little bump in attenuation, but haven't yet. My Standard American Lager turned out GREAT with this yeast. I mashed single infusion at...

Looks almost exactly like my kit from kegcowboy (not that there's a ton of difference between any of the basic kits). Nice Vday gift! If only I can be that lucky, again!

Conpewter's link above still works. I just got it from his link. Just unzip, enable macros, and you're set! Nice tool. Glad the thread was bumped after 1.5 years!

Gotcha. What was your cereal mash schedule, if you don't mind?
