I have a small sour mash going right now that I will be adding to a larger mash to make a berliner weisse. The sour mash is 1.5 lb german pils. It's been mashing for 24 hours and I just checked the temp: it is down to 85. I know it is recommended that you keep the temp above 100, but how bad...

Thanks, I'll check them both out.

Two weeks ago I placed an order with Northern Brewer and Austin Homebrew during another shipping price standoff. I spent over $200 at Northern Brewer, and maybe $125 at Austin Homebrew Supply. There was all sorts of crazy stuff in the Northern Brewer order, such as a used keg; Yet, shipment...
