Thanks for the reply. I just did a 50/50 pale and acid malt with no salt additions. So my OG is at 1.049 and pH 4.25. I added some yeast and ill see what happens in a week

can beer ferment at a low pH of 3? i will be using 20% acid malt to quickly sour a beer w/out bugs and sour mashing. the yeast ill be using is some kind of belgian. maybe a saison or belgian pale. No brett.

I have access to all popular and basic hops, yeast and malts. Just cant use any wild bugs and yeast. I can use adjuncts, lactic acid and acid malt. Problem is, I only have 1 day to brew, so no sourmashing and has to be ready in 1 month

I think the type 23 would be the appropriate one

Its a start. I've already found a local place to source some barrels.

i got this idea going on and i was curious about starting up a barrel and tasting room. have a local brewery contract some wort and do the fermentation in the barrel house. think Crooked Stave, Rare Barrel, and Side Project. Im more interested in the blending, barrel aging and yeast part of...

No cause they don't carry it. I could only use what they have in inventory. I couldn't even use the Conan yeast for an IPA. What about using acid malt as my base malt to make a saison? Hmmm

Bad News. was notified that i cant make anything sour. what if i accidentaly sticked my arm in the cooled wort? j/k.

They just told me Lacto is okay, so i wont pasturize it prior to boil. the beer im adding it to, will also have 20% acid malt in the grain bill. hopefully this gives me a tart/funk beer in a month. we'll see how it ends up, im the minority in the group that is into wild beers.

Damn. Your good. You have to come by. I'm allowed to use Lacto. I'm gonna make this beer stand out

cool. ill try 10ml per gal.

so, a brewery asked me to brew a 12 gal. batch of beer that should finish in 4 weeks. i thought a perfect summer beer would be a farmhouse with a bit of tart finish. but they said they absolutely dont want any bugs or brett in the building. lol. i asked if i can sour mash some wort at home...

okay, i have a spare. ill try with one and see if it works. it totally happend when i plugged both elements. it worked fine with one. DAMN. your right. thanks for the quick and accurate reply. so lucky i have a spare. im going to run a single element till i get a 50a SSR.

i hooked up a PID controller with 2 5500w elements, 2 240v 50a contantors and a 40a SSR. so i made sure that my PID was in default settings with the sensor for a RTD. I turned it on and it was fine. kept at temp perfectly with the pump running and the valve closed less than halfway. tried...

is this the correct switch to handle this setup? just checking the correct part no. "gcx3264-120v" which color block should i be using? the green or red block or normallyl open or closed blocks?

I didn't like the way this stout came out. A bit roasty for my liking. But I did adjust and came out better for my taste.

ill be making an APA using pale, wheat malt and carapils. what percentage do i need to get a medium body mouth feel with some maltiness? reason i ask is because i want a pale ale with that yellow glow. IPA beers like cellar makers, hill farmstead and societe. 5.5gal mash @ 154f for 30-45 min...

Thanks for the heads up.

Double checking on the switches. Are these switches on the diagram rated for this setup?

this is the one i got. its a 240v 40amp 2 pole. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-40-amp-2-pole-240-v-coil-Definite-Purpose-Contactor-/221318352533?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33879a0e95&afsrc=1 and will be using this diagram from P-J
