Cool label! What kind of label did you use?

Sorry - added the Calcium measurement. I have played around with the EZ spreadsheet, but I get pretty lost. If I want to do a good Hefe, for example, I try to make my water like the Munich model. But I can't get it close. Should I NOT do this and only worry about my RA and Cl:SO4 ratio?

Here's my water report: Sodium - 90.7 Calcium - 95.4 Magnesium - 20.4 Chloride - 106.2 CaCO3 - 215.6 Sulfate - 137.2 HCO3 - 262.8 Here's what I want to make: Mostly light colored beers (Belgians, IPAs, Saisons, etc..) Am I even close?

Great label. What medium did you use for the label?

Nice! Keep us update. I can't wait to move to all-grain soon.

A) What type of medium did you use to print the labels on B) What type of adhesion did you use to make them stick

+1 Ice Bath - works awesome, and you can avoid any debris or crud from the outside that could potentially ruin your batch.

You may not care, but it will surely reflect in your final product. What you put into it is what you get out of it - don't expect more if you don't try or care.

Since I'm waiting for my Saison to age, I should be starting a spicy IPA tonight or tomorrow. Just waitin' on FedEx :mad:
