Bru'n water works best on PC since it's designed to be used with Excel. It takes some poking around but I've found it to be pretty intuitive once you get used to it. You can put in that you're diluting your tap water by 100% with RO water and then add your grain bill and target style. You'll...

Group 2 Quad, attempt 1: I bottled this today and it ended up at 1.019 from 1.092 in about 4 weeks time. This makes it 10%+. I got 52 12oz. bottles out of this. I'll try one of the test bottles in a few weeks to check carb and everything. The sample tasted pretty good although the alcohol gave...

2133.5 + 1 gal of White House Honey Ale = 2134.5

Looks like a normal fermentation to me. Just because the airlock isn't blowing bubbles doesn't mean fermentation isn't happening. Let it ride another couple of weeks at least for the yeast to have time to clean up after themselves. You're making beer! Edit: looking closely at the pictures, you...

Someone did try fermenting only Ovaltine so take that how you will. I don't know what it would do as an addition to a grain bill so I'm still curious. Food for thought: I am currently fermenting Ovaltine. Tasting video: YouTube Link

I agree with this too. This helped my brew day immensely.

So you have 2 threads going asking what size or you can use. Your questions could have all been answered in one but I digress. In terms of how big of a batch you can get, you'll have to look at your pot and your fermenter. Most fermenters hold 5 - 5.5 gallons safely which is why people do...

I have a 10 gallon pot for 5-6 gallon batches at full boil volume. Plenty of room for the extra liquid volume to boil off and enough extra to keep the hot break foam from overflowing the pot..

Mine was primed to about 2.3 volumes. I'm not sure what that translates to in keg pressure but I feel it's just about right for a stout.

Dang man. I thought 17 lbs. was a lot because that's the most I've done so far! It looks really good and I'm excited to try it!

If this post is up to date then I think we're full up, otherwise I wouldn't mind an extract brewer jumping in. Post 219: Participant List

I'm jealous of all you kegging folks. I won't know if my quad is good for at least 6 weeks and that will be early. Either way, I plan on a round 2 this spring after I see what the flavor profile is.

Part of what got me when I was trying to figure this out was determining what people meant by "make a 1L starter" for example. I figured out that there is an assumed gravity of 1.040. If you use enough dme for that gravity in 1L then the ending amount of water can vary a good bit and still keep...

I'm in Lebanon so I'm in the middle of all three big cities.

1345 + 5.25 of Caramel Quad = 1350.25

After all the delays happening over the last 2 months, the quad is in the fermenter. I hope this one works out well. Finger crossed!

Mine literally burned into carbon on the bottom and the top didn't even melt at all. I've never done this before so I had no idea what to expect. Might as well have lit money on fire lol. Anyway, I might go a slightly different route and see if a homeade candi sugar will work instead. I'm out of...

Well I burned the hell out of my first attempt at toffee. Any tips @Scturo?

Take a gravity reading, you might be close to FG and not know it

I've never done 10 gallon batches but I feel like I've read that 1 is enough if you rehydrate it before pitching. Don't quote me on that though.
