I am looking to get some suggestions on the water profile for a Strawberry Kolsch. I think a standard Kolsch would have a water profile from Cologne Germany. Ca = 104.0 Mg = 15.0 Na = 52.0 SO4 = 86.0 Cl = 109.0 HCO3 = 152.0 or Ca = 84.8ppm Mg = 3.8ppm Na = 62.1ppm SO4 =...

Has anyone ever used a mash pad with their false bottom? Where can they be purchased? My 12" FB makes an ok seal on the bottom of my kettle. I assumed the weight of the grains (10+lbs) and water(4+ gal) would "push" the FB down and stay there. I was wrong. The spage stuck almost right...

I have a simple setup and feel I produce good beer. The beers I enter into competition often come back with good grades in the low 30s. I expect that this is about as good as I am going to get because much of my process is not exact. I should better maintain fermentation temps and get better...

Ok.....so I put a quarter cup of dme in 1 qt of water instead of a quarter pound of dme. Should I cook up 1/2 qt with the additional dme and pour it into the starter, or just leave it. Yeast was just pitched 12hrs ago.

My first lager.....not so good. I got some advise and moved on. My second lager is looking good. I brewed the Czech Pilsner from AHS. I made a starter of 1.5L and pitched the starter and wort all at 55*. It is in the fermentation chamber at 53* for 3 weeks so far. My OG 1.056. FG today...

Is there an upper limit to the amount of yeast you can pitch? I had two mason jars with 1/2" of yeast on the bottom each. I pitched both into a 5 gal batch (1.049 OG) and fermentation took off. It is going really strong. Does too much yeast and to active a fermentation affect anything? How...

I have a 5lb tank with two regulators. Line one leads to my soda water. This is at 40psi in a 50deg fridge. Line two leads to a three way splitter. The splitter has one lead connected to a Lemon Wheat keg. The second lead is on soda water. Lead three is not connected. Line two is at 30psi...

This is the end of my current regulator. Is it possible to unscrew that plug, put on some sort of extension piece, and connect to another regulator, or do I have to buy a "dual" regulator setup to get two different pressures?
