    SweetTarts?

    i looked this one up on untappd and on their website and it's not really made clear if they actually used sweet tarts or if that was just the name they chose or flavor profile they were aiming for.

    SweetTarts?

    I was looking at the back of a box of SweetTarts and the ingredients are dextrose, maltodextrin, malic acid and calcium stearate. Anyone ever tried using them in a beer recipe? (flavor addition, abv booster and possible sour effect?)

    Dough In- Devices and techniques?

    I had seen this question asked early on in this thread but didn't see an answer until your post. I use a Brewzilla so that is what my strike water is heated in and the mash is performed in. With the strike water already in the vessel, the only way I could see to underlet would be like you said -...

    Motor for Grain Mill

    To clarify - I already have a drill that works fine. But I built a new mill stand out of a spare cabinet and was looking for a more "permanent" motor solution that is small and won't breaking the bank. I like the solution here...

    Motor for Grain Mill

    the motor used in that thread (XD-60GA775) is rated at 6.37 kg/cfm. Doesn't that convert to only about 5.5 pounds/inch? The poster in that thread said it worked fine but that is nowhere near the 40 inch pounds recommended above. Torque is not my specialty so I could be discombobulating things.

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    when I purge my kegs, I fill them with water/starsan to the top and push out with co2. How would you purge a keg that is loaded with hops?

    CO2 Transfer Question

    I just picked up a 20# exchange. The tare weight stamped on the tank said 25.0 lbs. I weighed it when I got home and it weighed just over 45 lbs so they definitely got a full 20 lbs of CO2 in it.

    CO2 Transfer Question

    $11 for a 20# exchange? Wow, that is a great price. A 20# exchange for me was $39. But that still a whole lot better than when I was paying $28 for each 5# exchange.

    CO2 Transfer Question

    the 20lb does not have a dip tube but I invert it b4 transferring so that it transfers liquid.

    CO2 Transfer Question

    I have a 20lb CO2 tank and a transfer hose that I use to refill my 5lb CO2 bottles with. Works great. But I got to wondering. How does it know to move the CO2 from one bottle to the other. I assume that when the 20lb bottle is full, the pressure is enough to force the CO2 into the empty 5lb...

    Motor for Grain Mill

    I was looking around the shop for a motor I could use with my grain mill and found an old shop fan. Motor works ok but the rest is busted up. I'm guessing a fan motor is probably too fast for a grain mill but I can't find any info on the motor to make that determination. The sticker says FE-50...

    Liquid yeast - am I missing something?

    <-- Donated my Walmart microscope to Goodwill years ago. <-- No where near smart enough to be a scientist. <-- Count yeast cells? I'd drink too much while trying and have to start over too many times.

    soaking oak chips in bourbon, discard bourbon or add all?

    I brewed a big stout a couple weeks ago. While going through my ingredient's cabinet, I came across some oak chips I had set to soaking in makers mark 3 years ago and forgot about. The bourbon had all evaporated (or soaked into the chips). Smelled wonderful when I opened it so I tossed them into...
