For brewing 5gal batches?

You could also purchase a Premium HBT membership to give back to the community that does so much for us homebrewers :mug: I hope to sometime soon :)

Replace your analog Johnson with a STC-1000+ or OhmBrew temp controller to easily do complicated ramp fermentation temp profiles for lagers or saisons I second the stirplate & flask for starters if you don't already have that

Cool thanks Alpha. And thanks again to you, Greg, and anyone else who has worked on this project :mug:

Hey Greg it seems your link (on this page http://www.boostbysmith.com/fermkit.html ) to the user manual for the STC-1000+ is broken. Where else can I find that manual? Thanks

Personally I wouldn't bother using more than 1 hop for the 60m bittering. Just use enough of any bittering hop to get you the 20ish IBUs from that addition. You won't get any distinct aromatic/flavor qualities from a hop that's boiled for 60m. Also I'd increase your flameout hop addition by a...

Anyone?

I've got a small (1 gal) batch I started over 3 months ago (October 5) still in the jug I femented in. I'm planning to bottle it sometime in the next week. Will it need new yeast to bottle condition properly? Or will fresh yeast make it carb & condition faster? I started with the full packet of...

Any news on getting Tapatalk support for HBT? It would be so awesome http://tapatalk.com/activate_tapatalk.php Don't we use one of those formats in the link?

Can't believe no one has mentioned this yet: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f63/biermunchers-oktoberfast-ale-ag-39021/ Mash temp, grain selection, and yeast strain will make a lot more difference than water chemistry, IMO. Just use 5.2 if you're worried about pH

a_potter, if you scroll down those both have the info relevant to brewing. chapa, if it's something to filter out just chlorine and chloramine (which it sounds like yours is) that's a good thing. You don't want something that removes all the minerals though, at least with StL water.

What type of filter do you have? If it's an RO filter, it actually is not better than nothing, as it removes the minerals that make StL water great for brewing beer of pretty much any style. Anyway, if you're interested in the real info...

While I applaud their water conservation efforts, that sounds like terrible idea. Leave all that cold break protein in solution with the wort? No thanks. If you want to save water, take a faster shower or don't water your lawn. You can always collect your hot chiller water & reuse it if water is...

I always have these 2 concerns with plate and counterflow chillers: 1) cleaning. You can flush & backflow to your heart's content, but it's pretty much impossible to KNOW if there are solids still stuck in the wort side of the chiller. Then you drain it and let it sit for a week or a month till...

Hell yes you should!! Ever heard of Gumballhead? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f70/gumballhead-inspired-wpa-92976/ I'm gonna be brewing an american wheat (not the previously-linked recipe tho) with 6oz of hops per 5gal here in a few weeks. Hopfenweisse is a weizenbock. I'm pretty sure the OP...

Old Style and I haven't had it but I'm betting Chelada would trump Old Style if I ever decide to subject myself to it

oh cool they're both back now EDIT: hmm, except for some reason firefox is telling me the brewing network is an attack site. I wonder if they got hit by hackers?

this isn't even with a smartphone or anything. I'm using Firefox on a laptop with Windows Vista. I searched around here and google and couldn't find any info

Anyone know? I can't get either site to load. On the brewing network I just get a white screen with this error message: With beerdujour I get nothing. It's like it doesn't even exist. Anyone know what's wrong?
