OK so they replied, "Sorry for the inconvenience, we upgraded printing systems and were having trouble configuring the alpha acid print out (this has since been fixed) -- which hops are you needing this info for? I can see what we have in our system." So I sent them the info. Phew, glad to...

Thanks all, I found this really bizarre and was hoping they didn't start this as some new dumb trend where it's "good enough" to know the general AA range or something cause it's absolutely not. Waiting to hear back from them and will report back. Good thing I won't be brewing these two batches...

Yeah I've used other sites before but I usually just use Northern Brewer as they have the largest amount of stuff in stock that I need. This is the first time I've ever come across this. Now I'm waiting to hear back from them. This is absolutely unacceptable so they're going to have to either...

I'm out at the moment but will when I get a chance. They're several different hops - Northdown, Hallertau, and East Kent Goldings. 5oz total and not one packet has the AA% on it like as usual. And yep,I'm annoyed to no end as I had another item i purchased go awry with the final product today...

Is this something new or just a mistake? I haven't brewed for a year,took a break and focused on some other stuff and am starting back with two beers so this is my first order in a while. I emailed them but figured I'd ask here if this is something new and if so for God sakes why?

So somehow I made a doofus mistake. After force carbing for 30 hours at 30psi and purging the keg I dialed the pressure down to 13psi but somehow forgot to open the CO2 valve. Don't know how this happened as I even checked the next day and can swear the valve was open. So anyhow, I reset it to...

Been a while since I've posted, but haven't stopped brewing! So hello all, hope you're all well and healthy :rock:OK so it's quite obvious IMO that they're all using the same additive in their beers as I taste the *exact same* sweet candy like pumpkin spice flavor in their beers. It's kind of a...

Posted about this a long time back. Here's the response I received from Fred about adjustment: "If you make sure that the adjustable roller is coming up from UNDERNEATH the drive roller on both ends when you set the gap, then the thumbscrews should hold. There is TWO positions of the adjustable...

I have been using the Ss Mash tun for 5 months now, made 10-11 beers with it. I preheat mine using 5 gallons of 170 degree water. Been working flawless this way. In the beginning I tried less water like 4G and lower temps like 160 but I found some small temp loss in the mash. Preheating with 5...

Just a heads up - running grain through twice doesn't make up for not using a tighter gap setting. Wheat is smaller than barley and without tightening the gap up it likely won't get crushed much and depending on your gap setting if at all. Many here use a gap setting of .024 for wheat and .030 -...

Called into NorthernBrewer, they are replacing all the lost malts and apologized for the mistake . Very happy they were so nice and easy to work with correcting this. Rev.

Thanks man! Definitely seems I got rye by accident. Like mentioned I've never brewed with rye before. I didn't notice a difference in smell but that is likely because I had a pound and a half of Briess Cherrywood Smoked malt mixed in with it. My friend and I mostly noticed the smokey smell. I...

Duuudes, you guys are so right! I just looked up rye (never brewed with it before) and the pic on Morebeer looks exactly like what I received! https://www.morebeer.com/products/briess-rye-malt.html Is rye really that gummy in the mash? Rev.

So I've been brewing something like 8.5 years. I've made pumpkin ales without ricehulls early on so I'm totally familiar with a stuck or slow runoff/sparge, but with those it was always just a very slow runoff. This was 99% stuck with a dribble. I was doing a beer with 8.5lbs Franco-Belges...

Here ya go. The only thing I'd like to ask is if you brew this as-is (unmodified) if you wouldn't mind keeping the name. :) Waterloo (Watermelon Jalapeño Wheat Beer) - Recipe by Rev Ingredients for 5G Batch: 5lb 8oz Rahr White Wheat Malt 3lb Briess Pale Ale Malt 1oz Hallertauer 4.1% AA (Boil...
