I use beersmith. Ill check out your bands on reverbnation. I am also on there. I see most people dont like to use this much crystal. Why not?? Color? Malt flavor? My mash temp was too low? What should it have been? 159? For sweeter? I need to look up my recipe and see what FG was. Thanks for...

Thanks for replying btw!! :)

I did. Its been carbing up in a keg for about 2-3 weeks now. I need to test it again. I hope it hasnt lost too much aroma from sitting.

I guess no one had an opinion on this. ??

I have. And its worked fine.

I'd like to know how to get the dryed fresh hops into my 5 gallon carboys easier. I made a huge mess and maybe got a half a oz in there. I also tried using a funnel but it just got stuck in the narrow part. Useless, Im telling ya.

This is a great idea.

Hmmmm...lets see theres stroh's (fire brewed) lucky lager, schlitz, mickeys, icehouse, and most recently I tried something nasty called " head turner" or something like that.

Im interested in checking out Doze too.

Yep me too. Works pretty good except I usually have to squeeze out the wort with my hands. I just make sure my hands are sanitized or wear disposible gloves.

3 cases, 2 kegs, and 1-5 gallon batch fermenting. It goes quick with my friends and family. Need to buy more grain.

Thank you!! :D

I live in the SF Bay area and Ive had Pliny...not impressed. Its not worth the hype. But I really really like Double Jack. Yummo. But damn the bombers are expensive...$8. And so far no 6packs. And I recently went down to the Paso Robles area (cambria) and there was no doublejack to be found...

Which homebrewers in the bay area are doing this?

I use a digital thermometer but also have used a floating thermometer. So the temps are right on. Im going to do some more experimenting with the water ph/mash ph. But this time with small mini mash on the stove.

I've been brewing for about a year now. When I first started doing AG, I nailed it with the numbers, but for some reason the past 4-5 times Ive brewed, my efficiencies were around 60%. ( I figured it out via Beersmith) Originally I was using bottled water. I then switched to my tap water...
