Does this make sense?? 1oz Falcon 7-Cs at 20 1oz Cascade at flameout 1oz Falcon 7-Cs at flameout Hold chilling for 30mins. The temp in Ohio will be in low 40s this weekend so cooling will not be an issue once I start.

Yes I am using the Mallards Rye LME. I was looking for an OG of about 1052(ish) so that is what the DME is doing for me (when I do the math of 1035 per# of LME plus about 9points for the DME). Does this make sense or am I doing the math wrong?

How long do you let the hops steep before cooling?

I have a crazy question for everyone/anyone.. I have just started brewing again after over a year and the Star San I have made (from concentrate large bottle) has turned cloudy after about a day. When I made the star san it was crystal clear, but over about a day it turned cloudy. I am just...

Where do most people get their RO water? I was looking at a RO water filter from lowes or home depot. I look forward to hearing feedback.

Thaks for the information guys

did your efficiency go up when you started controlling your PH

I have been brewing AG batches for a few years now, mostly Pale Ales & IPAs. I have never really worried about the PH of my mash, but I have been reading that the controlling the PM can help with my efficiency and overall beer quality. Does anyone have some simple techniques for how to control...

Would it be a crime to brew a pils or helles with Cali common steam lager yeast? I have neither the ability or time to do a true lager currently... Would it be a crime to lager humanity to use a steamer yeast?

I look at it as though it is better than tossing the grains... Spices, Hops, & Zest along with the Saison yeast will always make something I can drink... :P

I don't know if I am the only person that has this annual event, but right around this time of year I end up with a number of partial bags of crushed grains. I typically have about 10-12# of base malt, crystals, and others combined. I just get everything together and do a mash at about 155*...

I have been AG brewing about 4yrs now and have been looking to add a pump to my setup. I just broke my arm and think now is the time for a change.. I have a 10gal kettle with a ball valve and a round cooler as my mash tun. Now it is time to add the pump as I will not be lifting 5gal of liquid...

I have been on a mad dash recently to get prepared for the fall, and have been cycling batches through my fermentation chest on a rapid basis. I have been keeping the beer fermenting at the temps I want for 7days and then moving it into a closet that is about 75* or a little hotter. Does...

I never whirlpool but I have been hearing folks racking from brew pot to fermented.. I have always just dumped the pot into the pale.. Is there a good reason to rack into the pale

how quickly can this go from Grain to Glass?? If I brew this Feb 1st would it be ready by Mar 17th??

Only 2 rules apply:: #1. Don't get pissed when I say you may want to watch out on that one.. It is not Natural Lite.. And then you stumble home. #2. Most important rule EVER.. Don't have your significant other come over and "pull you home" &/or complain about how "I" get their significant...

My wife is great.. She does not like beer and even seems to have an adverse reaction to mass produced alcohol in general. She wanted to see me spend less time bottling and having bottles "all over the kithen" and suggested if there was a way to get rid of the mess then go for it.. 6 kegs and...

OK.. So quick update.. My Honey Pils is running like a champ with a huge krausen and churning like crazy (low 1050 brew) so I am thinking it will be done soon.. Now for Brun064 ""Results: The US-05 finishes with more bitternes. It also leave more hop flavor on your tongue. The aroma is...
