I'm brewing a delicate Czech Pilsner tomorrow and needs some help quickly. Need to lower mash ph and still have a positive but yet low biarcarbonate level. I need some assistance from the experts please. Also on a side note I plane on diluting with 50% RO water per the finished water profile...

AJ Is this good enough for measuring alkalinity? I have this one already. http://www.taylortechnologies.com/products_kitinfo.asp?KitID=2471

Does hach have an alkalinity kit you would recommend? Unless you can confirm my Taylor pool alkalinity kit will work. It is a titration kit. Not the generic paper strips.

Hello AJ Is this the correct capsules for the 7.01? I would like to place an order soon! http://www.hach.com/buffer-powder-pillows-ph-7-00-nist-color-coded-yellow-pk-50/product?id=7640205050 buffer?

The plastic beaker with caps are available for under 2 dollars each form hach. Im going to pick up a few. Would you recommend only using them for so long until replacement?

I would like to by a few quantities of a small plastic beaker with lid. Not looking to buy 600 pieces. Does anyone have a source?

Use max 5% crystal of total grist. I like a more maltier ipa and I add 10% Munich malt. Mash at 150-152 to achieve the body character. No carapils. To answer your question you can add darker and more crystal malts to suit your own character, but in my opinion that isnt the style of a ipa.

Just did a side by side with the real deal. Stone on left, Wlp007 in middle and wlp001 on right. More astringency from from the stone. Wlp007 is definally the closest commercial yeast to stones house yeast. Just needs filtered and by the way stick with C15-20 if you want the color.

Martin. Can you post a pick of your capsules. What to see what size. Thanks.

Are these buffers premixed and ready to calibrate? Where do you buy the capsules that alot of people are using?

If you brew twice a month do you use the same buffer sample that is mixed and stored in the plastic beaker with cap?

I like the way this thread is going. Very informative. I have questions about the plastic beaker with snap cap. Where can I order them and how big are they. Importantly, I'm assuming my 250ml Milwaukee buffers don't need pre-mixed (picture above) and how long do you keep your used buffer in...

Anyone can help?

I purchased the Milwaukee 250ml buffers for 4.01 and 7.01. I was thinking about what is the best way to prepare the buffers for calibration. I'm thinking about getting 50ml beakers to use. I would like to know if there is a minimal volume of buffer required to properly calibrate the meter and...

Don't use 1lb of crystal. .5 lb at most of Crystal 15. 1.071 og and minimal of 1.012 fg. Cheers

Just made this again with some of my tweaks. To my disappointment my og was only 1.058. 13.5 lbs of two row... was planning on much better efficiency since my run off was so little and full conversion tool place after an iodine test

It was late yes and I mentioned the wrong addition. It is calcium chloride not calcium carbonate. AJ no worries, I appreciate you getting back to me so prompt. As a protectionist I was disappointed with my ph reading and will try mabrungard spreadsheet next time rather than EZ. Have to admit...

Wynne-R is correct. I ment to say calcium chloride. I read to many bad things with chalk so I decided to stay away.

Well I completed my first attempt using a ph meter as well as using acidified malt and adding Calcium Sulfate and Calcium Carbonate to the mash. As you can see from my fist and original post my water ph read 8.0 (tested from wards labs). Not until after I mashed I decided to investigate why my...
