If you wouldn't mind please enlighten me. What steps do you go through to create your water profile? What is your step by step process for mashing your grains? Finally do you have any tips for using the march pump ?

I am cold crashing my batch of red ale overnite. Then I shall move the bucket to a table nearby the fridge. I am going to rack it straight away. I want the brew to be cold for carbonation pressuring. There was no need to rack to a secondary chamber so I will have to watch the cake.

I have done it. The Korny keg stays super hot for a very long time. I transferred the 210F wort into the keg via tubing connected to a ball valve on my kettle. That way there is no hot side aeration. I then sealed the keg and slowly' purged the o2 from the headspace by outing in a low Psi of...

I did indeed. I forgot about the spray bottle method. Thanks. I'm a little disappointed with myself though. I jumped into all grain very fast and bought a 24qt pot. So I am stuck with boil-overs and low post boil volumes. This batch is 4 galllons. So I now need a new 28qt or 30qt...

I am a quarter of the way through the boil on this beer right now. 42 minutes remaining. I bought this recipe kit from midwestsupplies.com. I am confident this beer will come out fine. I will update this thread when its carbonated. I used all distilled water for this batch. 7 gallons total...

I think a good part of this batch's success came from the trub itself. The trub came from a cream ale I had brewed before. The flavor and aroma was brought over with the trub. It blended well.

I realize my temps were not optimal. It was a chilly day and I had too boil the water so it would be around 170F by he time it got poured in to the tun. Thats why I said 200F,but the true temp is unknown. All I Know now is that the beer is carbed and tastes great!

I use to have a.lack of confidence in trub. I often saved some from good batches with the intention of using it in my next beer. I always chickened out though. After 5 hours of brewing my ale, I wasn't about to gamble on its success. Don't get me wrong, I understand the yeast are in there and...

Big wish it were that simple. But I puteaxh sample in its own paper cup and placed them in the fridge to cool. Then let them sit out for an hour or so to stabilize the temp. It may be possible that the hop particulates in the post boil are interfering with the way the light is refracted. Maybe I...

The same thing happened to me. my first runnings was 10 brix. my preboil was 13. My og was 12. Its all whacky. The. Beer better be good!

I am a bit sceptical of this product. It looks good in theory but it reminds me of a carwash where those rubber flaps justvalap the car and don't ac
