Holy **** Batman. Beautiful setup and layout.

Sorry this is like 12 years old but can you help with this I’m looking for banks beer or something similar any help?

Nope

I check my ph since that’s really to only thing I can check. That’s the only adjustment I made I didn’t at gypsum or calcium or salts

I have been using RO water since like last July/August and I have never had a beer drop aroma and flavor. And turn into a straight bitter bomb. I check after mashout and adjust with 10% acid

I do have a ph tester I am for 5.3

Why wouldn’t you just place the hops in a bag and tie the bag to the top?? I feel like that would just be the least time consuming

I have always used RO water lol but got tired of going and refilled like 20 gallons of water all the time. So thought it would be the time to try tap water. This beer is about like 2 months old and it was really fruity then it slowly became really bitter to now no fruity all bitter

I do adjust my Ph to 5.2. I just had a water softener put in with a spout after the chlorine filter but before the softener

I do have a chlorine filter

Ok what are the negatives about brew all grain with tap water and using no chemicals. We moved in July and haven’t had time to get water tested. I have a beer that I have been watching a pale ale. And all the flavor and aroma hood are all going to bitter. Is this do to no chemicals added?

Ok well I brewed a 5 gallon watermelon wheat last month and when kegging I put 1 ML of watermelon extract in. And I thought that it was pretty much right on. Well I just poured a pitcher of it yesterday and wow the flavor of the watermelon changed it was almost like a strong cream jolly rancher...

so I brewed a beer with 2 row honey malt 6.5 gallons and put in 5 lbs of fruity pebbles after 10 days. And left in for weeks. I just bottled 4 gallons lol. And if I didn’t tell you I put fruity pebbles in you would have no idea. Really disappointed I guess I’ll need to try 10 lbs next time...

Yes those chemicals lol. And ok thank you
