I try to stay away from electric heating as much as possible... Electric energy is not cheap here in Portugal. lol.

Mine too! At least for batch sparge method. But never read anything about fly sparging with cold water...

I'm already doing batch sparges with cold water and get the same efficiency as before. The problem is that I have a direct fire mash tun and only one burner. I have no way of heating the soarge water while mashing. As I see it, fly sparge would eliminate the sparge water calculation errors and...

Hi, I am thinking about changing from batch sparge to fly sparge. The problem is that I have no way of heating the Fly Sparge water. I read two articles about experiments where is claimed that temperature is not an important factor in sparge effciency but the two articles were related to Batch...

Thank you for the reply.

Anyone?...

Hi, I want to add muscovado sugar directly to primary without boiling it to preserve the flavour. I believe the best time to do it is when the fermentation is done and the alcohol is already present to avoid any contamination but it's the first time I'm attempting this and I would like some...

I have some oxonia jugs lying around that already lost the smell. I use oxonia as a sanitizer for everything. I don’t use it as a cleaning agent though. Anyway, thanks for the help!

I can only get containers from detergents and sanitizers. Floor detergent, Multi-surface detergent, Hydrogen Peroxide (35%) sanitizer and Oxonia Active acid sanitizer (peracetic acid + Hydrogen peroxide). Is any of them usable?

Wont this chemicals go away with time? The containers im talking about are empty for at least a year now.

Hi, I'm brewing next weekend and I still don't know what's the best yeast for the job. The beer is a Trappist Single and I have one sachet of Safebrew t-58 and one of Safebrew Abbaye. Can anyone tell me what's the best? Thanks.

The beer turned out to be great! That was just hop debris like flars said.

Hi, I've brewed a beer 5 days ago and it has a smells that is close to champagne. I've used open fermentation on this one because my mother said it was the way beer was fermented 30 years ago here in portugal (azores). Does wild yeast has anything to do with that smell?

Lolol! I'll post the result after drinking it. Lol

Yes... that’s exactly what I thought it was but I asked just to be sure. Thanks for the prompt reply!

Hi guys, I've bottled one batch 2 weeks ago and I've found a problem. Is that an infection?

Ok. Thanks to everyone for the feedback!

The 2.3% AA value is what was written on the package. I assumed it was right... The beer has been in the primary for a week. I have another beer in primary right now. It is a diferent lager but it uses the same hops and was made with the same process. If the problem was chlorine this one Will...
