Hi, I’ve been brewing for about 5 years, all of those all grain, and have a question about mash volumes and how it would affect the beer. I have a 2 kettle system, I mash in one kettle, and pump my wort into the boil kettle for boiling. My current mash ratio is about 1.9L/lb. I would like to...

Smoked some pork butts for pulled pork. [emoji1417] turned out fantastic.

Now that you mention it, most of the beers I've done that I had an issue with, were pale ales, with only 1oz boil addition of hops. That being said, this could very well be my problem. A recipe I've done several times through the past year would be a 5gal batch 11lbs 2 row 1lb 80 1 hour 153...

First time poster here. A little background, have been brewing about 2 years, started out with electric BIAB setup which I still use, have done about 20 or so batches. I've been trying to really work on consistency, water profiles/PH, and so on. A common problem I've had with most of my beers...

I'm in!
