I hope it's drinkable lol but if not that's ok it's my first time after all

Get yourself a ph meter

I'm fairly new at this but when your temp was out of whack could it have resulted in the conversion of less fermentable sugars. Could be the reason for the sweet taste also maybe fermentation was stalled resulting in dms and sweetness

My equipment profile is fairly accurate I believe minus the efficiency because I never brewed till yesterday so there was no way to figure that out

I'm leaning towards the fact that it was us gallons because the fermenter I used was graduated imperial an 20l works out to 5.5 us gallons or about.

So over the years I have been brewing beer with kits that had already made wort. The kind that all you have to do is pitch the yeast. So about a year and a half ago I was online trying to figure out kegging. When I came across a video on you tube of electric brewing. Immediately my interest was...

I'm going with ro water and doing additions

I've done a practice run with water. waiting on some days off for brew

Hi all I've been lurking around for a while now and I have been putting together a three vessel system for about a year now. Finally completed the build of the system and going to taking it out on its maiden voyage for the first time. Looking for suggestions of first beer. Also forgot to mention...

Well call me crazy but I for one would not drink from a growler. The only way I would is if they worked on a exchange program for the simple reason of sanitation. How do you know the person before you cleaned theirs? Call me nuts but it's a good way to spread pathogens

Sure it's worth trying.

To my understanding those paper strips are not designed for that temp.

I not sure of the type of equipment you guys are using but isn't cl corrosive to stainless steel at the range of 300ppm. I apologize if I'm wrong

I agree I don't think it was done fermenting

What about trying a two step mash

Heavy with minerals just don't know the make up of it. I have well water.

Thanks for all this advice it helps I'm venturing into all grain for the first time and I just want to start off on the right foot. That being said I'm having my water tested first. then ill take the necessary steps. I think that's my best approach

Sorry I meant pale ales

I have the kit from my local lab just was kinda unsure what minerals to have them target as they charge 8 dollars for each one

Yeah I was thinking the same. Im a big fan of stout and dark beers but want to brew pale ales and lagers
