    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Just finished a pale ale with a around 6 ounces of Centennial, EKG, First Gold mixed. Numbers were all pretty good, and there's lots of hop flavor going into the fermentor.

    I sent a couple of paypal payments, and Paypal says they went through. So, I supposed, which payment do you need for full sack or split?

    abnormally long conversion times

    I didn't know that, thank you for the information. I will look into acquiring those supplies this coming week for when I brew next weekend. (I like to brew as often as possible.) That could be just the trick I need, instead of worrying about all kinds of crazy reports. I am not really...

    abnormally long conversion times

    I do not know my water report, I also don't have a PH meter. This is definitely my top two priorities as funds become available. I am brewing a batch in the morning that I will supplement 1# of 2-row into instead of just pils as the base and test that for conversion time. I won't use acid...

    abnormally long conversion times

    Not that anyone should care, but I've done some reading today. I happened to find earlier a malt analysis of Avangard Pilsner malt, which happens to be the malt I've used for the passed several months (mostly because it's cheap, but I kind of like it too) stating for diastatic power it has a...

    abnormally long conversion times

    I will try milling more fine in the future, that's a good idea. I have a mill set to .33, but I have issues with periodic stuck sparged occasionally also so I am afraid to close it too far. I like making bread with the spent grain so I avoid rice hulls. Maybe I just have problems!! Haha!

    abnormally long conversion times

    I have been brewing almost a year, most of the time all grain. I have noticed abnormally long conversion mash times when I test with iodine. I started mashing with Acid malt, after a couple of long brew days, and it seems to help. It is definitely not a total fix, though, so maybe that's not...

    Avangard Dark Munich - Fruity Flavor?

    I had a similar experience when trying to recreate Zoiglbier from the recipe on BYO. I was using the Avangard dark Munich and had some wicked fruity flavors that I attributed to the yeast initially. In the end it the beer was good, but not what I was trying to create. I suppose I'm glad I'm...
