I'm rounding up things to get this moving. I'm discovering our freezer space is somewhat limited and 5lbs of whole bananas simply are not gonna make it. Is it acceptable to sanitize the bananas, then peel them, slice them, and place the pieces in sanitary baggies in the freezer? I think...

I've been making wine mostly from kits for several years. The majority have been reds but many whites from the same kit company's as well. Our whites always turn out very good. Their taste and aroma are typical of the styles and basically what has been expected. The reds, unfortunately not...

Okay, just so I got things straight.... Your grain bill produced 5 gallons of wort? I'm assuming this and guessing you have the primary in a 6 1/2 carboy? The reason I ask, is I'm also assuming you add the primary and the banana smoothie both to the secondary about day 21? So the...

I never made a banana beer, actually never had one until the other night. Being aware of this thread, I ordered one at the local pub and was very pleased with the results. Now I'm hooked. Will the banana oil in the bananas mess with the head formation? You got me lookin' at giving this...

Anticipation! Come on.... tell us like it is.

Thanks guys. I did look up the correct grain and I did cool the Hydro sample. I guess I just need to recognize I blew it with grain measurement or water level. Sad state of affairs for a seasoned brewer and I wasn't even drinking at the time... :D Thanks for the feedback...

Okay, so I've been tweaking my new hybrid RIM system and have been getting much higher Brewhouse Efficiencies which are busting my OG targets. I'm been attempting to adjust my calculations to accommodate the new rig but I'm running into puzzling numbers. I have a grain bill which has an...

This is the one! Grab me now.....

The problem turned out to be a Windows XP issue. I recieved an XP update which resolved my issues with downloading Bru'n Water. Experienced the same thing on my home system as well and the update also fixed it.

I use a number of Omega products at work and have always been impressed with their quality and operation. When I saw a replacement probe was only $36 I was sold.... Thanks for the feedback!

I've just ordered one of these. What do you think of yours so far?

I've been attempting to download and use the USA version of this software, Bru'n Water. I get 55 pages of stuff but I can't seem to enter any info or get anything to work. It's as though the package is just a picture of 55 pages without any functionality. I'm assuming I've missed the...

When you guys adjust your water profile by adding minerals I assume you calculate and treat all of the water used. So if you are making a Munich water profile you treat all of the water as though it were mash water, ignoring sparge or other water elements used in conventional brewing? Does...

Looks like we're both correct. I'm looking at this recipe as posted under "hybrid ambers" in the forum recipes and for some reason the minerals specified for the water are different from those shown on the website you referenced. Puzzling since the article and recipe appear to be the same...

Thanks for the response. I guess I'm looking at the wrong data?? I see .4g NaCl on his list for WATER. Where are you seeing the .8g NaCl? I'm not trying to be picky, I just want to insure I'm using the correct data.

Forgive my ignorance but I'm attempting to reproduce Kai's water recommendations and I'm a tad confused on the amount of water involved. I think I understand he is putting 400mg of NaCl into 30L of RO water along with the other mineral amounts as well... So his mineral quantities are...

Searching has failed me so forgive this question if it is redundant. Have any of you compared (on the same recipe, on Braumeister) the step brewing process vs a single temp process used by us single infusion guys? Presumably a Braumeister will permit either approach? I'm curious what if...

Okay... You do understand we're gonna need a full report when you pop the top with unbiased reporting of the results... :) Does sound very enticing.

I'm looking for a good recipe of a german alt beer. Can someone tell me what this style may be listed under in the forum recipe database? Thanks...

I used it once and everything turned out just fine. I fermented at 68*F.
