I have always used this product and have had good results but I've used it the BK. I usually boil it in a small amount of water the night before. After reading threads about zinc I'm wondering if it would work better to add it to the fermenter. This due to it possibly being bound up in the BK...

Life is too short to drink bad or old beer. That and I'm older and don't drink near as much as before. If a beer has been around for too long, that's not a high alcohol dark type, it gets dumped. I usually dump it on the compost pile. It can also be used in the garden...

I grew up on the Kansas side of KC and have lived in both MO and KS. I graduated HS in 71 and had a high lotto number for the draft so I didn't have to go to Viet Nam. I had uncles and some older cousins that went. I joined up later in the early 80s, cold war Army vet here. I remember my dad...

I rode a bus from Union Station to Ft. Leonard Wood when I was on my way to basic training. There is a lot off history in that old building. The Kansas City massacre with pretty boy Floyd in 1933. The Plaza lights at Christmas time are always a sight to see. Nice to hear from a former fellow...

Always a fan of Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin reminds me of my Son who was pretty ornery when he was young. He grew to be a fine young man. Who do you like that makes you smile? No political cartoons please.

I would suggest going no sparge if you want the full LO experience. Also don't worry about water ph it's the mash ph after adding water to the grains that needs attention. You don't say what type of water you use so try to use low alkalinity to start with or RO water.

I have been doing no sparge for about 3 years now and I plan on 65% efficiency. I just add a pound or two of malt extra than when I did fly sparge. You have to account for the grain absorption and boil off rate to get your final volume. I figure 1/2 quart per pound of grain. I use a false bottom...

I boil German and American Pils malt for 70 minutes and haven't had any DMS.

I've lived in the Mid-West mostly in the Plains states most of my life and have never experienced a twister. We did have a small twister go through western KC Ks. about 25 years ago. I think Tornado alley is shifting east a bit. I hear you on the Gulf coast. We had a bunch of people move in...
