    Corny ball lock quick disconnect question

    I was going to go with 3/16" liquid and 5/16" gas since I've read these are standard sizes. That's why I was confused about the mismatch disconnect sizes. I plan to use barbs for the gas side since I don't see why I would need to clean those in all likelihood. I plan to use MFL for liquid side...

    Corny ball lock quick disconnect question

    I'm only seeing Corny ball lock quick disconnects with 1/4" barb connections however, it seems like many people use 5/16" for gas line and 3/16" for liquid line. Is there 5/16" and 3/16" quick disconnects? I cannot find any. Or do people just use the 1/4" disconnects and the lines fit...?

    Hefeweizen: messed up grain bill

    My OG was: 1.040 so I guess if I get middle attenuation for WLP300 I should end at 1.010 which gives 3.94 ABV. So I guess I can call this a session blonde hefeweizen...? :)

    Hefeweizen: messed up grain bill

    I wanted to make a Bavarian Hefeweizen with the following grain bill: 5.5 lbs Weyermann pale wheat malt 4 lbs German pilsner malt but somehow at my lhbs I only grabbed 2.75 lbs Weyermann pale wheat malt 4 lbs German pilsner malt so the ratio of pilsner to wheat is way higher than I intended...

    Bavarian Hefeweizen water profile

    Interesting. I'm following the recommendation from Brun water using the Munich (boiled) profile which says 11. Should I be using a different profile?

    Bavarian Hefeweizen water profile

    I'm starting from RO water and I'm using the Brun water calculator with the Munich (boiled) profile. How does this water profile look for an authentic Bavarian Hefeweizen? Ca: 11 Mg: 0 Na: 8 SO4: 19 Cl: 9 HCO3: -101 (i.e., 0) Estimated mash pH: 5.35 Total water additions: mash: 2.08 gal...

    Does this Kolsch water profile look reasonable?

    I have no clue what state the calcium chloride is in. I just opened the package yesterday for a different brew. How can I tell? I'm using the Brun calculator so I'm following whatever assumption that is making regarding anhydrous or anhydride. How will this affect the brew? Should I try to...

    Does this Kolsch water profile look reasonable?

    I read that it was better to keep Vienna (or other non-Pilsner malts) to <= 5% of the grain bill. That's how I ended up with this amount. To each their own. My concern with the water profile is the high chloride and low sulfate. Any thoughts?

    Does this Kolsch water profile look reasonable?

    Grain: Weyermann Barke Pilsner, 5.5 lbs Weyermann German Vienna Malt, 0.3 lbs Water: 2.16 gal in mash 2.06 gal in sparge 2.50 total desired batch size I'm using Brun water calculator with the "Yellow Balanced" desired water profile. It says I should have Ca: 50 Mg: 7 Na: 5 SO4: 75 Cl: 60...

    New to using RO water and brewing Czech Pilsner. Do these additions look right?

    Sorry I meant, why would our calculations be different for the same Pilsner malt (grain bill)?

    New to using RO water and brewing Czech Pilsner. Do these additions look right?

    Thanks for the info. Just to confirm, what I have above is OK to start with for this brew?

    New to using RO water and brewing Czech Pilsner. Do these additions look right?

    I guess I'm looking to see if I'm close. It doesn't have to be perfect. I just want to make sure I'm within acceptable ranges for the additions. In particular, the acid addition...
