So I made my first attempt at a berliner weisse using a similar method outlined in this thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=460657. I mashed on the stove top in an aluminum pot with 5 pounds of pilsner malt and let it drop below 120 before pitching the WLP320. I then put plastic...

I am still fairly new to adjusting my water for brewing but the beers that I have brewed since have been noticeably better. My water is better suited for dark beers, but I haven't brewed one since I've started adjusting my water. I was thinking about going with 100 distilled and building up from...

An American Red Ale is on deck for my next brew. I really enjoyed Reprise by 4 Hands Brewing Co. It uses Centennial exclusively for hops. This is what I came up with. I split up the base malts because I think I only have about 9# of pale 2 row. Mash Ingredients 8.0 oz Rice Hulls (Briess)...

I have an American wheat that is finishing up fermentation that I want to add mango to. I have already cut up and skinned the mangos and put the in the freezer. I've done some Google searching about using a juicer and just adding the juice to the beer. I couldn't find anything about this exact...

I batch sparge and occasionally I do 10 gallon batches and if the gravity is high enough I have to split my sparge water in half. It's kind of a pain and I'm looking to upgrade to a larger mash tun in the near future. I have been splitting my adjustments between the two sparges. My question is...

So I believe I'm coming to the conclusion of fermenting my first beer with brett. I brewed the saison 11/14/15 and had finished at 1.004 by 12/4/15. When I transferred to secondary I pitched a vial of Amalgamation - Brett Super Blend. I just took a sample today and the gravity reading was .996...

Just a heads up if anyone is looking for used whiskey barrels. I believe they are from dark horse distillery. If only they had smaller ones I'd be jumping on this. http://kansascity.craigslist.org/for/5473283273.html

Selling a Johnson analog temperature controller. It's not fancy but it works as it should. Recently used it to ferment a batch of saison. Just got a digital temperature controller so I don't need this one. Asking $26 shipped.

I have two 1/2 barrel kegs that I was going to use for a 3 vessel single tier setup that I just haven't done anything with. One of them I already cut the top off of and the other is untouched. They aren't the prettiest but they would still make functional vessels for brewing. One of them is a...

Like the title says I'm selling a 1/2" Blichmann Thrumometer. I purchased it and then decided to go a different route with a dial thermometer on my plate chiller. Sadly this Thrumometer never got a chance to feel the joy of warm wort flowing through it's veins on it's way to the fermentor. I did...

I'm looking to move away from my immersion chiller and would like to get a plate chiller if anyone has one they want to part with? Shipping would be to 64030. Thanks

I'm looking to get Hach pH meter here pretty soon and was looking at the buffer solutions. I'm leaning towards the buffer pillows in the 4.01 and 7 pH. The most reasonable option seems to be the 50 count, which after some reading I don't think I can get through within their shelf life. The...

So I'm finally getting around to the water aspect of my beer brewing. I just got my water report back from Ward Labs and am just curious if anything looks off to those who are much more experienced than I. From the other reports I've been looking at my pH seems really high. I just downloaded the...

So I rebrewed an IPA that I really liked again yesterday. It was a little later than I'm use so starting but everything went well. During my boil I rehydrated my yeast so it would be ready once I got down to pitching temps. Once there I went to oxygenate with my pure O2 setup and realized that...

I was looking at the brewfractometer on amazon and was considering getting one, but I can't find any reviews of it anywhere. Not on amazon or any of the homebrew shops that came up when searching fit reviews. Just curious what people that have one think of it. I was torn between that one or the...

I bought some cacoa nibs about 4 years ago. They've been in a box in a closet for about 3 of those after a move and then in the freezer for another year. Any ideas whether I should just toss them or not? They were never removed from their oxygen barrier package. I recently brewed a stout and a...

I have been experimenting with roasting some 2-row after reading a couple of articles. I use Beersmith for my recipe formulation and I'm just wondering how those of you who do the same thing might enter those grains into your recipe? For instance, I used some deep amber malt in a beer I made a...

I usually just toss the circulars when they come in the mail but I looked at them today for some reason and saw that Aldi has the 6 piece craft beer glass set for $12.99. The cheapest I've seen it is $19 on Amazon and free shipping with $25 order. If you have an Aldi in your area and you're in...

So on my daily check on craigslist yesterday morning I see someone is selling a few components for a kegerator setup. They have a regulator, perlick sanke coupler and two 5# co2 tanks all for $45! I contact them and setup a time to meet later in the day. I don't hear anything around that time so...
