My question now is, since it is already fermenting, can you add Light DME? If so, how much in boiled water to hit my OG of 1.046? (Didn't know yesterday that I could add DME)

I mashed with 3.7 gallons. So why would it give me these numbers? And yes I wound up with 8 gallons in the kettle. Is there something I'm not putting into beersmith right? Like I said, I followed the numbers like I did on my previous batch and ended up pretty close on that one so i just figured...

So, I brewed my recipe yesterday and came in really low on my OG (1.035??). Estimated OG was 1.046 using beersmith software. Beersmith gave me the mash volume of 3.7 gal. using the 1.25/lb of water/grain ratio and 5.6 gal. sparge water for 9.25lb grain bill. I used both volumes and measured to...

I will probably just do the ziplock bag method and toss them in. I bought the grains and other stuff that I posted previously and plan to brew sometime this week! I didn't get your message in time to try and change it up. I'll let you know how it turns out. Let me know your recipe and how it...

Thanks! How did you crack your coriander and did you put the coriander and orange peel in a hop bag or just toss them in?

I am going to be brewing a Belgian Wit Beer recipe I found online. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on the recipe or if it looked okay. Recipe: All-Grain Wit Beer 5 gallon batch size OG – 1.044 – 1.052 FG – 1.008 – 1.016 Color(SRM) – 2-4 IBUs – 10-20 ABV 4.5-5.5%...

I am brewing an all-grain IPA which is currently in primary. I placed the brew in the primary Thursday evening around 7ish. All was going well and it started to ferment within 12 hours. I checked it twice on friday and it seemed to be a nice easy fermentation (didn't think I needed a blow off...

Thanks guys!! When I add the pint of new wort to it before pitching do I need to leave it out and bring it to room temp first?

How long can you keep a starter in the fridge? Do I need to do anything special to seal it or just keep the foil that I already have on it and leave it alone? I made the starter yesterday thinking I would use it tomorrow....and I still may, but I was just wondering if I could keep it in the...

I have put in all of my equipment measurments in beersmith. Everytime I switch pages (go from the recipe page to the Mash profile page) and go back to the Mash/Water page, my strike water amount changes a little bit. Any idea on why this is happening? I wanted to use the formula of 1.25qts/lb of...

I am brewing my first all grain tomorrow and was wondering where I could find the most accurate water calculator. I use beersmith2 software and have compared with others online and get different results? I know there are certain factors involved like what equipment you use, dead space, cooling...

So....I will be making my first all grain brew Thursday hopefully (IPA-OG:1.065). My question is about the yeast starter (I have never made one before). It is Tuesday and I made my starter tonight @7:00pm. I followed a video on youtube (beer geek nation) and used 2 cups water and a 1/2 cup DME...

Thanks guys! Just wanted to make sure I wouldnt mess anything up

I just kegged my first beer and was wondering the proper way to carbinate it with co2. I siphoned my beer into the keg at room temp. I pumped co2 into the keg (3 times) and blead the oxygen out as recommened. I was going to use the "set and forget" method and was wondering if I had to chill the...

I was wondering if roasted barley was the same as black non-malted barley. My recipe called for roasted barley and all the brew shop had was "black" non-malted roasted barley. The guy said this was the same and could be used as the same. I was unsure but I ended up getting it anyway. I thought...
