Selling off our never used Spike 1bbl nano. This system includes a 4 element Electric Brewing Supply BCS control panel set up to allow the run of two 5500 watt elements at once. This is selectable one each kettle or two in a single kettle. I am including everything in this deal; kettles...

If you are really worried about it I would suggest you go online and look to places like brewhardware (Bobby carries everything you need). Cheers, -Stephen

I ended up doing pre since I am just using a carbon block filter to remove chlorine and chloramine.

Afternoon all! I am in need of a stainless welder in North Austin. I have a conical that has a bad weld on it and need to get it fixed. Does anyone know a good person I could reach out to by chance? Cheers, -Stephen

THanks for the replies all I probably should have mentioned this is just a simple carbon wrap to pull out chlorine and some sediment. Using this guy: http://www.grainger.com/product/DUPONT-Carbon-Wrap-Cartridge-25CA68 Cheers, -stephen

Exactly, but I had someone once tell me to not do it that way so I was kinda left going WTH LOL! I can't think of any logical reason you wouldn't test it post filtered since you'd use that with every single batch. Cheers, -Stephen

About to send off a Ward sample and was thinking about this and wondered if folks test pre or post filtering before getting their reports? Cheers, -Stephen

I'd very much so like that! Cheers, -Stephen

I'm in

I just had the chance to try this beer and it's great! I wondered if anyone might have a clone recipe for this one? Cheers, -Stephen

So I found this handy page of the BYO site and it's helping a bit, but I am still stuck. http://byo.com/resources/grains Here is what I can get a breakdown of: Belgian Pale Ale Malt 2.7°-3.8° 1.038 Use as a base malt for any Belgian style beer with full body. Munich Malt 10° 1.034 Sweet...

So lets take the Basil and see if we can break it down: Grain bill - Bel 2 row Pale Malt, Munich, Crystal 40 Yeast - WLP001 White Labs California Ale Hops - Mt. Hood

So I guess where I get stuck is in the recipe itself. I know there are a lot of factors as pointed out but if you strip things down you should be able to have a lose grip on what base style you are close to or represent. Here are three example beers I have: Blueberry Hefe - this one is easy...

Afternoon all, I have a couple of recipes I have found and tweaked that I would like to enter into some competitions, but I am at a lose as to how I would determine the true base style for BJCP. My questions is how would one go about figuring this our from the recipe? Thanks all, -Stephen

Morning all, In my quest to make the perfect beer I wanted to try to find a water report for Charlotte's water, but for the life of me I can't track it down. I could just go test my water but I figure the report has to be out there so I come to you all in hopes maybe someone could share or...
