This site will help you once you get the values... http://www.brewersfriend.com/water-chemistry/

Most of that report is worthless for brewing. You need to know how much Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Sulfate (SO4), Chlorides (Cl) and Alkalinity (as CaCO3)... as well as a few others. Do you have that info?

I'm a noob too... but I disagree a bit. If you just add salts to the mash, and then sparge with ro or distilled, I would think your final concentration of salts would be too low... Again... being respectful, I just want to learn how to make great beer! :-)

I would calc. total volume of water needed, add salts to that volume of water and then mash and sparge with that water.

I also used sequence and got it wrong....

15 points for 100% instead of 20 for a 100%...

To calculate your ABV maybe?

This is quite possibly the statement of the year for craft brews! :mug:

I signed up too! Once the class starts, maybe those who have signed up should start another thread to share thoughts and help out with assignments and such? Should be a very interesting time! :ban:

Cool man! Just as long as they are designed for gas. And I bet you can really dial it in as it's a needle valve! :-)

Very cool looking build! I'm concerned about the gas isolation valve... it doesn't look "correct" for the application. Where did you find it? Most gas isolation valve are ball valves from what I've seen... then again... I could be completely off the mark! ;-)

I thought you all would enjoy this! :mug:

Haha! One of my favs! Calculus Entropy: How do you do? I be Calculus Entropy, you be Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher? Fletch: I be Fletch, Geometry Fletch. She be Miss Trigonometry Ross.

Hi all... I read quite a bit here, but haven't made many posts... but you all are going to love this! I work with a guy who recently joined our local homebrew club. I was checking out his FB page and saw this: (By the way, I put the pic on my site... ) Here's the direct link...

Like a dumb_ss, I actually boiled my grains for 15 mins... BIAB setup... anyway, the beer turned out great! #reasonsnottodrinktoomanybeerswhilebrewing

I'd start with Palmers book.... How to Brew - By John Palmer - Yeast

What the hell? Count me in too!

Take your time... don't rush... two batches rushed thru fermentation aren't going to be all that tasty... RDWHAHB!

Take hydrometer readings for three days. If they are all the same, transfer to secondary. Many on this site don't even use secondaries... just primary ferm. for 3 weeks...
