    Done with liquid yeast

    Lallemand munich classic is now my favorite yeast for hefeweizen. I just mix it in when transferring to the fermenter. Dry yeast is all I use. It’s cheaper, has longer shelf life and is so easy to use since I can skip the starter.

    R/O water with ph 5 resulting in mash ph too low.

    For some stupid reason that water calculator defaults the source water ph to 8 I can change it to 5 but it wont save it and it defaults back to 8. So the expected ph according to the calculater is inaccurate. I just did a brew using 5 gallons of sparkletts spring water which has some minerals...

    R/O water with ph 5 resulting in mash ph too low.

    The ph of my R/O water is always 5. My mash ph is usually aroud 5. I measure ph with both colorphast 0-14 and 4-7 test strips. It doesn’t matter whether I am making a dark or light beer the ph is 5. I use Brewers friend water calculator and usually use either light colored and hoppy or balanced...

    Induction Cooktop Recommendations?

    I run a recirc pump during mash and need to keep it at a 2 setting. I have no insulation just the lid. I don’t understand how temp could rise.

    I use the Duxtop P961LS/BT-C35-D. it has a max weight limit of 65 lbs. I do BIAB and mash about 7 lbs of grain in 5 gallons of water. I am boiling about 4.75 gallons and put 3 gallons in the fermenter. By itself it might boil but not very hard boil. So I have added 2 silicone drum heaters from...

    Drum heater automated mash tun

    I was playing around with an idea to reduce my level of monitoring my mash tun and it works really well. Its a 700 watt drum heater, it has a thermostat but it has no fine control so I‘m using an Inkbird and it hits my target and maintains it quite well. I was considering going to an Anvil...
