Count me in. Thanks

Link to recipe of the beer in discussion is in post 5. I hope efficiency and mash temp is my main problem. They are something I have been working on correcting anyway. Mash temp was just a mistake the calculator I used was taking pre heating into account and I didn't realize that. I am...

I may not have described it well but there was no extract. This was one of the recipes and it was all grain. 60min boil IC used to chill Mash was 60mins and was done at 148 degrees recipe called for 150 My OG was 1.040 (shooting for 1.050) FG was 1.011 Yeast was US-05 I fermented for a month...

Brief description of my process. I have a 10g ss megapot w/ thermometer and ball valve and a 15g water cooler for mash tun. I boil my strike water in my kettle to prepare for mash. I will from now on preheat my mash tun before mashing in. I missed my mash temps by 4 degrees last time. That beer...

I'm still fairly new to all grain and the three beers I've made all have a common flaw in them. They all lack body. Granted not all beers are suppose to be creamy and malty but I'm getting nothing. I can taste the other flavors but its so off balanced that its just not a very good beer...

Curious on how your beer turned out. I plan on doing something very similar soon. I have a large amount of frozen blueberries I want to use in a 5 gallon batch. Did you like the amount of blueberry that came through? I'm trying to determine how much to add to my secondary.

Try a standard milk crate. I keep my empty bottles in them. They hold a lot and are stackable. They also double as a way to carry carboys. They are used by every grocery store. I don't know if they would sell them I you. I got mine from work. I'm sure Walmart sells something similar if you can't...

Vinator Bottle Rinser + bottle tree The bottle tree alone was nice but when combined with the bottle rinser for sanitizing it makes bottling so much easier. I no longer dread bottling day. Submerging bottles was such a pain and took forever. Since it fits on top of the tree you can have a...

+5 American IPA =13891

If I get one and make a starter will it be enough to compensate for not having the other one? Trying to save $6.50

good i'd hate to have to chunk it only had a couple of brews go through it so far. Thanks

I'm guilty of one of the seven deadly brewing sins. I did not clean my better bottle after bottling my brew. It was a late night bottling session and I ended up putting it in my storage room before cleaning. I was looking for Christmas stuff and come across it and it looks rough. The bottom and...

Good to know. Thanks

Hey, Hattiesburg here. I know we have a few brewers in the area. Switching to all-grain after Christmas and hope to get in with a homebrew group in the area.

Anyone know what kind of water profile Hattiesburg has? I've been doing extract and using distilled but I'm switching to all grain after Christmas and plan on using community water.
