Love the confirmation of the higher SO4, grain bills, knockout PH, and pressure dryhop! Gold! And a couple of interesting nuggets, no dryhopping until post fermentation and long cold crash for cleaner finish. Thanks for sharing this!

I altered the recipe and split 2row and maris, added C60, and split munich and vienna. Also cranked up the water profile a bit too. Really pleased, 95% cloned.

I know this is an old thread, but does anyone have any recommendations on a water profile for a Sam Adams clone?

How’d this recipe and water profile compare to the original? Would you change anything? Yeast work out well for you?

We brewed a great shandy last summer with a Pilsner recipe and then decided to mix with San Pellegrino Pompelmo. We were going to add it directly to the keg, but opted to keep it separate. I know that's not ideal, but we liked having an option of either drinking a pils or a shandy. And that...

It looks similar to Braufessor's NEIPA recipe. I've made it several times with 1318 and it's damn good. Just be sure to keep the O2 out. So I wouldn't sweat it. No one knows the exact recipe and yeast for Julius. So just brew, drink and be happy.

I’m attempting to get close to a clone then altering ph after. Depending on yeast, it tends to push things up or down based on variety. I started trying to hone this in based on recommendations from local breweries. I’ve found .1 or .2 makes a huge difference.

I'd asked earlier in this thread for people to comment on their final ph as I believe it's important to balance sweetness from the malt/yeast and acidity levels of final ph in order to achieve more of a juice-like character and big mouthfeel. I know there's clearly more to it than that, but I...

Interesting method. Why wouldn't you already have the whirlpool hops added into their respected cages from the beginning? Do you require all four cages due to sheer volume? If not, I'd just add them to the second compartment from the onset, since it seems you only have one bittering charge. Or...

Thanks Martin. I was hoping you had a secret tab on your sheet that I didn't know about! ;) I was thinking of taking that route if there wasn't a more precise calculation I could make.

I'm not looking to determine why it's at 4.5, as it's fairly in the range. Rather, I'm trying to figure out how much acid I need to add in order to drop it to where I would like it.

Depending on beer style and target flavor profiles, it can be helpful to alter the finished PH to achieve your goals. In my case, I'm looking for a crisper finish to my IPA and am looking to get it close to 4.0. Rather than trial and error, I was hoping to find a calculator to measure my acid...

I used this pressure relieve valve (along with a gauge) in my build based on a recommendation and it works great. I set it to 15 psi and let her go: https://www.morebeer.com/products/stainless-gas-pressure-relief.html And I use 15psi based on this...

I have an IPA that's just about ready to move to serving. In doing one of my last readings (FG and PH), I noticed the PH is at 4.6, a bit higher than where i'd like it. Is there a calculator somewhere, similar to bru'n water or brewersfriend, I can use to determine how much lactic or citric I...

What final ph are you guys targeting?

Was the surly close to the original? It’s so good! Willing to share the recipe?

I made a copper immersion for like $35. I use it every time and don’t recirculate, just end the brew. On my last porter brew, went from boil to 63 in 17 mins. It was cold out though.

No, no, I totally get it. I’ve been using tap and it’s been a little bit of a struggle. Although I have my local water report, it’s alway 1-2 months behind and it swings quite a bit in that span. Been thinking of just ponying up another $5 for some RO water. :/ Out of curiosity, how did your...

So you just trust the spreadsheet and don’t take readings during mash to ensure the value? Are you using RO water?
