    Need help with off flavor.

    No. It is not a fruity flavor at all. Plus the first extract beer was fermented at >70 degrees. Cqn chloromine used by water disinfection plant cause these bad smells and flavors?

    Need help with off flavor.

    Only thing I can think of is perhaps my tap water. It is possible that those two times levels of disinfectant in the water were raised. I might have to get a water test kit.

    Need help with off flavor.

    They are both IPAs. It is not hop flavors because I have used them before. The only thing I can say for sure is I can smell the off flavor as well as taste it. It easily cuts through the hop profile which was dry hopped heavily.

    Need help with off flavor.

    Hey guys, me and my brother both brewed an identical kit and both got a beer that tasted.... Funny. I cannot really describe the taste, but it tasted pretty bad. Since then I have moved to all grain and have brewed some great beers. However, my last all grain batch had that weird taste again. I...

    Zombie Dust Clone Brew Day!!!!

    Hahaha I know it is sarcasm about the feetsies. Target OG was 1.065 but I only got to 1.062. Not bad. My strike water was 7 gallons and I "sparged" with 1 gallon of 170F when draining. I mashed at 152F then raised temp to 170F and drained/sparged. The boil was probably about 7 gallons.

    Zombie Dust Clone Brew Day!!!!

    Today I brewed a BIAB Zombie Dust Clone. This was my first time brewing with one of wilserbrewer's BIAB bags. I must say that the bag was well worth the money (like $20). It easily held my ~15lb grain bill with ease. I used the ZD recipe that is in the recipe section with a couple of tweaks to...

    First BIAB Disaster

    I will definitely get a bag for my pot, but at 5 dollars from Wal-Mart it is not so bad.

    First BIAB Disaster

    Ok, I said screw it and dumped that batch... I could not live with myself for failing. The first time, I tied a knot in my bag even thought I knew I needed to stir it. I have no idea what I was thinking. However, I brewed the same recipe again and did it right this time! I used a voile...
