    pH for dummies?

    Bumping to follow. Exposure to enough well written articles like this and some of it might begin to soak in. Thanks

    Help, 5lb CO2 only lasts about 2 – 3 kegs

    I was charging a keg last weekend and sprayed down w/Star-San. No leaks. Bout 5 min later noticed some micro-bubbles coming from the release valve. Took off the lid, rinsed and replaced the lid... no more leak. Took a while to notice the bubbles.

    Too Dry IPA

    Checking thermometers, bought a floating thermometer, and will mash higher. Probably about 154 or so. Along with a new batch of 001. Still have 3 kegs of high alcohol IPA, though. Sure packs a wallop! Thanks guys.

    Too Dry IPA

    Oops. guess I didn't make my self clear. I brewed 3-5 gal batches. Haven't tasted the other two, but I'll bet they are the same, as the fg is also low.

    Too Dry IPA

    I should add, I was thinking of adding a heavier hop, such as Columbus. How about an infusion of something?

    Too Dry IPA

    Been brewing for a couple of years and I've ,ade some good ones. To improve my brew I made a couple of fermentation chambers with temp controllers and I think that is where my problem lies. I made a few simple IPA's with late hop additions and put them in the cooler. After a week, they read out...

    Frustration...Santitation?

    Controlling fermentation temps was the single biggest advance in the quality of my homebrew. It lost that "homebrew" taste and began tasting like good beer. I could then concentrate on other smaller processes to hone the flavors I really want. Pat

    Beer without hops?

    Just got back from Portland. At "Hair of the Dog" brewery they had a wonderful beer made from squash and pilsner malt. No hops. I'm a hop guy but really enjoyed this fine drink. Very fresh and crisp. Call and explain your plight and they might crack loose with the recipe. Worth a try. Pat

    Fermentation Chamber, best route

    BTW where, in your fermenting chamber, did you install the ceramic heater? I'm using a pad, now, but want to switch out for a ceramic heater. Have no idea where to install.

    Pipe smoking, a lost art.

    Smoking a pipe is like getting a part time job! Ha! I collected many Caminettos and Ascortis before the prices skyrocketed. Fill them with Bayou Night from Cornel & Diehl. Great smoke, not for the beginner, though. Love cigars also, but any fool can smoke a cigar... it takes a little talent to...
