Hope this is not a redundant question: Not being an electrician, I was wondering if there's reason a "240V version"(UK) of the Grainfather could not be operated on a 220V US line? Wouldn't you just need an adapter/plug of some sort? Or is the US 120V version the only one that can be operated in...

I attempted to make a starter using Pale DME, 2 liters of boiled water with WLP 570 for a Strong Belgian Ale. When the OG of cooled starter read 1.100, I realized I put the a whole bag of DME instead of 8 oz. Trying to save it, I diluted the starter with another 2 liters of water (bottled...

Wow... OK, a 30 min. boil it is. Thank you!! Would you add any steeping grains to the pre-boil or go with the recipe as Jamil has designed it?

I take then if using all-grains, do a 90 min. boil when using Pilsner malt. If using Pilsner LME do a 60 min. boil. Thanks for the information!

I have another beginner’s question: I’ve been reading some threads that advise adding LME or DME late in the boil to improve the taste and color of extract kit beers, contrary to most kit instructions. So, do you add 1/2 the extract at the beginning of the boil and the remainder of the extract...

Hey, yesterday must have been the day for first-time all-grain brewers to get their grains wet! I brewed a 1 gal. kit my wife bought me as a Christmas gift. I have only done a few extract brews previously. I have to say it was a lot of work for just 1 gal... I'd like to do a 5 gal next time...

Thanks for the replies and information, much appreciated!!

Hello, my first post. Using Danstar Nottingham yeast in a Brewer's Best, Robust Porter kit as my first brew after many year's away from the hobby. The printed kit instructions read: "Do not hydrate" the yeast. The yeast packet itself shows instruction diagrams and suggests hydrating the...
