Loop, but we

Boiling also darkens the DME in the wort ("browning" from Maillard reaction) and adding it all to the beginning of the boil reduces hop utilization. I add 3lbs to 6gals at the beginning of the boil and the rest at flame-out, except for partial mashes where the grains were 5lbs or more. If that's...

I saw a very respectable brewery rinse their barrels with idophor, but I personally have zero experience. Please regard this post as a shot in the dark, and something I would do because I'm stupid. But if it were me, I would soak it in RO water for a while to saturate the wood, then Idophor for...

It's technically a Saison-IPA so i don't want the bitterness being perceptively rediculously bitter. I'm only six batches deep and almost all of my brews have been hard to drink cause the high carbonation makes me feel bloated or accentuates the bitter. I did an apricot-rose wheat where the...

Most calcs/charts for residual CO2 only go up to 80° (including iBrewmaster) but I brewed a saison that I warmed to 91° in order to get it funky and prevent it from stalling. How do I calculate the residual CO2? I can't even find the formula to determine residual CO2. I would like 2.2vols for...

Enough about hunting already! It's still legal, so do it. All that aside (and in lieu of a potential troll) they will probably welcome you with open arms, as brewers are typically an extremely friendly bunch... but also most certainly talk about you and take your advice lightly. The great part...

That's some serious-ass beard! I bet your beard could not only kick my beards ass, but buy out it's apartment just to have it evicted.

If it's not too late, Your solution is to introduce me to the other girl, or your daughter... Whichever wants to forget about fem-guys forever. Lol. (god, I miss the goth girls from high school.) Also, it's benign but I gotta say she'll be pissed about the screenshot of her texts, although it...

Because I feel powerful resurrecting the dead... :rockin: Used Newport twice at 60 mins each batch and had MAD astringency which takes at least a month of bottle conditioning just to tame. The first batch was 1oz:5gal@60min last was 0.5oz:5gal@60min and both were uncomfortably astringent...
