Hello, I just got my Ward Labs water report back. Does it look like a good base? Recommendations? PH 8.0 Dissolved solids. 193 Sodium. 13 Potassium. 1 Calcium. 37 Magnesium...

Hello all, I moved to Medina City recently and looking to see if anyone has had the water tested. If not, I'll send in a sample. Thanks

Is anyone going to be there Saturday? I am going with my dad and wanted to see if there is any advice from a seasoned vet.

Hello all, I am new to entering competitions with my brews. I made an amazing Anderson Valley Summer Solstice clone and am confused on what category I should put it in. I originally thought 21B spice, herb beer. But as I look at the BJCP 2008 guidelines, Summer Solstice is listed as a...

I have never made any sours or bacteria laden brews before, but if I brew a Berliner Weiss with lacto will I need a dedicated primary? I use better bottles if that makes a difference. I would really prefer to be able to use that better bottle for non sour brews in the future.

I would like to get some stickers/labels made with my brewery logo on it. Problem is that I don't have a logo. I tried to make my own but it looks like a kids finger painting. Does anyone know of a way to cheaply get a logo designed for someone that is not computer inclined? Or maybe even just...

Hello everyone. I just upgraded to a 10 gallon keggle system and am in the market for an immersion chiller able to cool down 10 gallons of wort. I am checking to see if anyone has one that they are looking to get rid of before I go buy/make a brand new one. I have a 25' copper one with brass...

I did a few searches and couldn't find anything. I just purchased a controller an freezer that I will be using to ferment in. I figure that using a thermowell through the carboy bung would be ideal to put the probe in. Am I right? If so, where can I find one? Thank you.

My first kegged beer had a distinct off flavor that I thought was my fault. But I kegged another beer and it has the same flavor. I have bottled 12 batches before this and never had this taste to it. It tastes yeasty. In a really bad way. It lasted the whole keg also. It was on the verge of...

Does anyone have a hookup/interest in a Columbus area group buy on grains?

So I have 2 brews that I am going to enter soon. I keg and have been contemplating what to do. I haven't kegged these beers yet. Should I use carb drops and just fill a few bottles? Should I try to measure out little scoops of sugar to put in each one? Or should I get a beer gun, keg, and fill...

Recently brewed a huge RIS without treating the water for chlorine/chloromine. I have had recent brews judged and was told about off flavors from chlorine. I have really good sanitation and never use chlorine, so I looked into the water and it is high. So, assuming that this beer will have...

Sorry, I am just excited that I just kegged my first two beers and have them chilling in the fridge. Doing the set it and forget it method. :rockin:

Has anyone heard anything yet from the home brew competition? It was my first one so I'm not sure on how long it takes to hear back. Just antsy is all.

So the punkin episode of Brew Masters is on at 2 am eastern tonight/tomorrow morning in discovery if anyone wants to dvr it like me.

I made a batch of Apfelwine about 2 months ago following edworts recipe. My wife decided that she would like it more if it were stronger (higher abv). It is still in primary as it has been for 2 months by the way. If I added 8 oz of corn sugar every couple of days would it continue to ferment?
