Yes, next time it happens I'll make sure 5o take a sample to the local supply shop and see what they say about it.

Yes, I've realized some items I'm going to work on and be more mindful when brewing. I do cool the wort before I put it in the fermenter. I haven't treated nor filtered my tap water, I used bottled filtered water when doing my cider as well as one of my beer brewing which both had the off...

I'm guessing it's more of an off flavor rather than infection. I've read the list of off flavors and nothing is really standing out to me, other than temperature and over crushed grains. My last batch I know for sure was within the pitch temp and had a strady temp the entire fermentation. Here...

Unfortunately I originally thought it could be this so I took it apart and cleaned but that doesn't explain why I have it happen in my other 4 fermenters.

I'm sanitizing everything, using starsan. I clean out my fermenters after every use and sanitize before I go to use it. I normally use soap and after 3 uses or if I get a bad batch I use pbw to clean it. I do chill the wort before I aerate it, I also make sure to boil my immersion chiller for 15...

Hello everyone! I'm new here as well as too homebrewing. I've been brewing for a little over a year and I've noticed some recurring infections/off flavors that keep happening to me and I don't know what's causing it. The first time I experienced this issue was when I tried to make some cider...

Agreed, I would have rather had the PC version up and running first vs the app. But hopefully they'll have both here soon.

heres an article about whirlpooling, currently they say "coming soon". https://brewie.org/knowledge-center/news/hop-whirl-pooling-and-utilization-of-the-technique-with-brewie

Well maybe i should correct myself. The plate chiller is under the bottom cover, it's easily accessible if you take that cover off. However, if you take the bottom cover off it might void warranty. I don't know how they would know if you've taken it off though as there's not tamper sticker or...

Ive never had a bad experience with brewies customer service, but I've never had to deal with a problem. The only thing I've ever used it for is to recommend things, which I've always gotten a reply within 5 days. The original brewie has a plate chiller as well, works great. I've never had any...

How many gallons are the paks made for?

I was just looking at the new z and the only thing that has my interest is the picopaks so I can try some craft breweries, do you have any feedback on them? You can use manual or automatic water, you just select your option right before you start the brew.

Ok haha give me a min I'll post the link. When you work 12s 6 days a week you have plenty of time to Google. I just kept googling brewie until I noticed something unusual, then I tracked it to the actual source and it ended up being a FCC filing.

Ive never had to use their customer service other than to ask questions here and there however I have noticed over the past couple months they've stepped up their game. I sent 2 emails just of recommendations/improvements they could make and I got a reply within 5 days . 5 days is kind of slow...
