Looking for 750ml wine bottles, Bordeaux style clear or green. Cincinnati/Dayton Ohio area. Thank you.

I am seeing the same thing, I moved to a new house and ordered a water analysis from Ward Labs. The PH reading on my report is 9.0 and the TDS is 343. When I test it with my Milwaukee 101 and my TDS meter I get readings of 6.98 PH and 233 TDS. I just installed an RO system and ordered a new...

I brewed this up last night using the OP's recipe except for the yeast, i used US-05, and had to substitute Some Cascade in the bittering addition as I was a few ounces shy on Centennial. I messed up a bit on the 15 minute hop addition and didn't get it in until 13 minutes to go. One thing...

I brewed a 5.5 gal batch of this a couple weeks ago. My mash efficiency was higher than expected and came in at 1.043 post boil. Having brewed this recipe several times with US-05 I wanted to try using a starter for the first time. I used 1056 with a 500ml starter. This thing went off like crazy...

Just got the ingredients for this one today, will be brewing it next weekend.

I just brewed a 5 gallon batch of this yesterday and it would seem that I've broken the rules of Pilsner malt. I only did a 60 minute boil and I had trouble chilling as fast as I would like. My wort chiller got me down to around 90* pretty quickly but on a hot day that's as low as I could get it...

Thanks for the tips, haven't actually brewed yet but hope to soon.

I live in the Cincinnati area, Rhinegeist is a local brewery with an IPA called Truth. I don't have a ton of experience with IPAs but I can tell you this one is very good. So I wanted to use this as a basis for my first attempt at putting together a recipe. From their website I was able to...

Late getting back to this post, i've done 3 batches in this kettle now and so far so good. I had to do a couple "boil in" sessions with it to season it a bit but other than that its fine for now.
