Just using what I have since it’s not much and want to make sure I have enough to get to at least 1.030.

I am planning on making a starter out of old grains I have hanging around. Has anyone done something like this, or will this not work out right? Not sure it will work without base malt, unless white wheat is a good enough base malt? I’ll be mashing either as a BIAB on a 1.5 gallon pot or using...

Did anyone notice if they used a hop back in the large scale equipment tour video? I don't recall if they used on there or in the recent homebrew video?

I have the exact same problem. They all taste the same just some have more alcohol taste. Maybe my palate isn’t refined enough? I actually prefer their pale ales these days, and they cost less!

I wonder if they will show the yeast room

Nothing else added that I can think of, I think the logical next step is to just start from RO water and build the water profile from there and see if it’s really the water or something else.

That’s one of my biggest failures. I haven’t measured mash pH. I added 5.2 stabilizer but I don’t know how effective it is.

I’ve been debating sending off to ward, but also considering getting a RO system in the brewery.

my thought has been that the pH is off a bit for the mash. I’m going to recalibrate my pH meter.

I have checked the temp, seems accurate but I’ll check again.

Will do!

I have thought about RO water for my next brew to see if that fixes it, if so, the brewlab kit is garbage!

I order just the amount needed or from the kits from Northern Brewer or Morebeer. It’s odd, since moving a few years ago is when the issues started. Maybe the grainfather is the culprit and it’s not extracting the sugars needed from the mash or the boil is just not vigorous enough? I could go...

I mashed with Grainfather. Used 2 packs of US-05 and used nutrient.
