It didn't say. That's what concerns me.

I was at my local Walmart and I see they have a primo water dispenser and its supposed to be RO water with some minerals added. Its only 27 cents a gallon but I would have to buy a couple of their 5 gallon jugs. In the long run its much cheaper than 88 cents a gallon for their distilled. If I...

I had hoped that my water would be good for brewing but it looks like once again I will have the pleasure of hauling gallon jugs of distilled water. I wonder what microbreweries are doing for water? I have several near me that are on the same city water that only admit to making water...

I have been playing around with bru n water this morning and if I'm correct, it looks like the only way to make my water desirable for brewing is with dilution. I tried almost every water profile listed and I cant get anything in range. Can somebody take a look at my water report above and give...

My brother in law is in town visiting so I took him out into the ocean to see what we could find. We ended up catching 2 small sharks and lost a nice spinner shark after a giant jump out of the water. We had tons of fun. I caught a 6 foot 100 pound tarpon in the same area a few weeks ago. It...

I switched to distilled water when I lived in ny and had real crappy well water. It looks like the water I have in Florida will be much better to deal with. The first thing I noticed is how far off the cities water report is from wards. I wouldn't trust any water report on a municipality website.

I ran across that tutorial last night but didn't have time to watch it. I will try to check it out soon, thank you.

I just got my water report from ward labs so I started looking at the different calculators. I'm curious which one people have found that they prefer and why? A search for a topic like this didn't come up with anything. I would like to use whichever one is the simplest and idiot proof. Brewing...

I live in Florida so my water is always in the 80s which makes it almost impossible to chill with an immersion chiller (and its expensive when you are paying water and sewer).I was watching brewdogs and noticed that they pumped their wort thru the immersion chiller that was sitting in a bucket...

Well, no response at all. I have to admit I didn't expect one. I have never been to a brewery that was so hard to speak to somebody. Their website is outdated, no real contact info and never any response when looking for event details. I guess in will give the recipe above a shot.

Florida beer company in Cape Canaveral FL.

It was difficult but I finally found some contact info and sent a message to the brewery to ask for more information.

I am starting to get over my love affair with hoppy brews. The Florida heat has made me broaden my horizons and I have found myself drawn to Florida beer companies Florida lager. I'm an AG brewer who has only done ales and I do have temperature controlled fermentation freezer. The brewery is...

I LOVE my island. Merritt Island Florida. Awesome weather year round. I just got out of our pool and we are sitting outside with cocktails. There are tons of great bars, restaurants and breweries within an hours drive. The beach is down the street and the boating and fishing is incredible. We...

Jai alai is a great ipa.

I have been using an immersion chiller to get down to around 90-100 then I finish cooling it in my fermentation chamber. I have my chest freezer nice and cold and tape the probe to my bucket. It has been working very good. My tap water in the summer is about 85 so its very tough to chill here...

https://spacecoast.craigslist.org/hab/4830450238.html. Hopefully this attachment works I'm wondering if anyone could tell me if this o2 setup would work for a home brewer. It seems cheap enough.

It has to be the fermentation that raised the temperature I had the probe about 1 foot from the bottom of the freezer. The Temperature gradually dropped as the fermentation slowed down.

I built a large temperature controlled chest freezer that works great. I have been taping the probe to the carboy when I have one batch in it. The other day I brewed a second batch so I just hung the probe inside the freezer set at 60. It seemed to work well and the beer temperature s stayed...
