Well its within 1f and has an alarm, pretty good for only 10$! Im mashing right now its pretty easy to keep it between 150-155, still learning! I went totally dumb on this one, when im done sparging my grain bag in the sparge water, how long and at what temperature am I supposto boil the hops ?

I just bought a digital thermometer, but its for the oven. Would this work on water ? ?

Yeah I know so how good of a thermometer would i need ? What if the candy thermometer is in range of 2 degrees ?

Mine had no preservatives, I checked1

Another quick question, Can I use a candy thermometer to get accurate temps ? ?

I went to my first brewery that sold grain, and was dissapointed that I wasnt able to follow a sinlge recipe that ive found! Ontop of it all they only brew with one strain of yeast, and they use that one strain for over 20 beers that they use. I honestly dont know how the hell they succeed using...

Well if a yeast can ferment fine on its own, then I doubt there is any benefit to the final product if you did help the yeast. Frutopia is fruit cocktail juice they had a big sale here one day and selling 1.8L jugs for 1$

This calls for 4oz of cascade hops ?

Hi guys, im going to buy some freshly crushed grapes and I dont want to use Lalvlin-ec 1118 just because the fact every store sells it, and it seems that yeast is for noobs. I am specially ordering yeast, and im thinkin of sticking with Lalvin company, but trying a different yeast. Im...

I hate using yeast nutrient, i dont know why! I have some in my fridge still, but I dont like using it. I used it on some lemonade, and some fruitopia wine, and IDK neither turned out very good....im not saying its cuz the nutrient but, i highly doubt marketted beverages have to use DAP/nutrient...

Well I made meads with no flavours at all, and they came out great when aged for 6+months. Im thinking of not dominating the batch with apple taste. I made a mead using orange quarters, about 7 large oranges, and just let them soak in the musts while it fermented, i questioned it, "SHOULDNT I...

Yeah I lookt up this one too, its not possible without that koji bacteria! NO CLUE where to find it! Wierd how it ferments starches into sugarsalcohols!

I cant wait for the apples to start going on sale from the orchards. So im going to do a test run and make a cyser from frozen concentrate or from concentrate apple juice. Any difference? Opinions ? I have seen lots of recipes using 100% juice, with no added water, and im abit concerned...

This sounds like a great recipe!! I might do this for my first grain expierience. Questions are: Hallertau Hersbrucker what if i cant get these hops ? any substitute ? The yeast ? Any alternatives ? what how is it supposto ferment at 54-42f ? ? This is not possible without a fridge...

Yeah, I was definitly wrong on this one :) its per kg not pound!! I really need to find a place that sells a variety of yeasts. Any suggestions besides ordering online, do not have credit cards.

Hmm perhaps it was per kg, not sure will have to inquire on that. Ive looked through some guides, and found them very helpful. I have a great wine/beer store, in terms of ordering "specialty yeasts", I just hope he will be able to locate beer a wide variety of beer yeasts. Amazing to hear how...

I dont think thatl turn out well :P

I live in GTA, and the price of grain makes me not even want to start PM or AG. I get coopers cans for 15$ each, and at 3-4$ per pound of grain an avg recipe calls for 10lbs each 5 gals, were talkin a price increase of 2x! I really wanto make beer the proper way, and get off malt extracts...

I tasted a regular stout from coopers, pretty good, gets better when bottled for a few months! Still feels like im not making beer with these coopers cans... lol

lol I added campden tablets, shook the jug around to dissolve them fully, and bottled them. I still have the 3gal with airlock on it.
