Apparently nothing bad should happen but clarity might be an issue. He's a brewer, and somehow he dumped his 180 sparge water on the floor and didn't have time to get 150 gallons or so up to temp.

What can happen if I only used 110 degree water to sparge. It's a complicated issue my friend had. He's brewing 150 gallons of 8% ipa.

Brew day didn't quite go as well as I hoped. When I mashed in It was a little to hot(156), so I just tried to cool it down, it went to cold. Shortly there after I find out my thermometer was broke. After I added about an extra gallon of water I had it settled at 150. It's a pale ale at...

I'd get a 4 pack of sixpoint resin. 9.1 abv, 8 bucks.

My parents live in Madison and every time I go up there I spend about a half hour walking around woodmans looking at their beer selection. I tend to pull bottles out and read them, which pisses my wife off.

I have a 5 gal cooler that has a spigot and run a hose to the wort chiller. Fill it up with ice water and slowly run it throught the chiller. Once it empties I get more cold water and fill it up again. After ten gallons it get pretty cool maybe 85 degrees in 15 minutes. One more time and it's 70.

I guess a counter flow chiller would probably be the best bet to cool it to temp in one pass but then I have an extra IC. I stir it and all, just would like to turn a valve and fill the fermenter with cool wort.

I find with using the IC it takes about 20-30 mins to get sit down to 70-80 degrees with a lot of water so I started filling a 5 gal cooler with ice writer and running that through the IC to save a bunch of water. Now I am wondering if I could run the wort through the IC, while it sits in ice...

I work for the biggest steel maker in the world.

Most I have paid was 17-18 for a sixer of expedition, hopslam, or batch 471. What I don't understand is the prices of bombers. 2 hopslams is about 6 bucks in my neck of the woods. I know a brewer that sells a 5% lager for 5$ a bomber. All the bombers they have(4) are relative to that. I would...

New Belgium has a Belgian iPa. I just made something I hope that's close to it. It smells good but maybe I didn't hop it up enough.

I have had atwater java porter and just recently their imperial amber both of which pours three fingers of beer and a fist of foam. Damn near takes 20 minutes to settle and it still tastes like ****. never again.

Never in the boil its in a hopbag with orange peel and hops. As if it was aging in a barrel.
