I used 2 sachets of M54 the og was 1.068 and after 4 days its 1.018 so im guessing its nearly done fermenting as been sitting around 66f since the fermenting slowed after the first day so i bumped it up a bit to 71f with my heatmat and im thinking it could cold crash it pretty soon and let it...

I just thought 73f was a little high for lager its my first time using it

I am brewing 2 lagers that are fermenting in my chest freezer and i have no cold space for more batches. I decided to brew a hybrid california common, using california lager yeast. My apartment is usully around 60f so i assumed i could ferment in ambient. I used 2 dried sachets and pitched at...

I was thinking that because of the ratio perhaps the temp is off but i was hoping it would be near enough and more accurate then air temp. As for stc i purchased one but never used it thinking it was a lot of hassle and easier to spend the extra on an inkbird.. would u reccomend them over an...

I drilled a hole in the a bottle of water and stuck the probe into it. Im sure there is better ways but seems to be doing the job! I took the lager with the weak fg back out of the fridge and ill do another reading after 4 or 5 days and see if it has changed and with the other ill take my time!

I had it in my chest freezer at the 1st ferment then i transfered it to another with a heat pad and inkbird to raise it to 61. I will take it out and referment i have 2 more batches fermenting the last week so i can play around with this one and learn. Im thinking of leaving them 3 weeks...

I have it in the fridge but at 41. Could I still reactivate the yeast and ferment further? Im pretty sure its a hydrometer ill attach pic and recipe also Thanks

Ive been using tap water and my ph was around 7.8 so I got a rough water report and the result on brun water was 2.8ml of lactic acid. I checked my mash ph the first time i did this and it was 5.5 so i was assuming this would be ok for the ph problem. Im mashing BIAB for 90 minutes at around...

I have 3 lagers on the go, the first I fermented for 17 days at 53f and it measured 1.024 from an expexted 1.016, starting at 1.052og. I checked afer 20 days and possibly a fraction off a change and then raised the temperature to 61 for diacetyl rest for 2 days further and no change in og so I...

Maybe im doing something wrong here lol

Definatly ill give it a go thanks

Cool so just to be sure!! Carbonate =1 mg/l Calcium = 23.8 mg/l Magnesium = 6.2 mg/l Phosphorus = 1/2 mg/l Iron = 1mg/l As the iron is 12ng/l im assuming its a much lower value

Thats ok i will play around with these figures on brud water as ill have to figure it out myself but just double checking incase i do something wrong along the way!

Some of the quantities of this report are based on averages for example if my sulphite was between 26 to 28, then i stuck it down as 27 as a yearly report is the best i could find. The caco2 is stated as 85 therefore i derived the Hc03 from that and i was probably wrong with my calculation of...

Thanks for the help silver i have been messing around with brud water and the iron value of 12 has been causing me problems! I checked the water report again and the iron content and it was measured at ug/l rather then mm/l Im only new to this myself but i will read over your comments a few...

Sorry i should have stated a different spring water as that one was still water were i was thinking a better quality but probably the same results as i have another that has a bicarbonate at 340 so id obviously run into the same problem! Im going for the RO system indefinatly but will take...

Ive been working on this water report and turns out a lot of information is on the website but i could not get anything on the minerals; calcium, magnesium and pottasium. I also used a converter which im not sure is correct but i multiplied the caco3 (85) by 0.6 which should result im my...

Also should i consider thechniques for removing chlorine before brewing?

I will it makes more sense then paying 100 for a sample that may change or not be accurate! I can pick up a RO system for 150! On my next batch whats the oppinion on using spring water? That way i will have all the contents on the bottle and i can tweak it with the basics that mcKnuckle added...

A lot of people advised me off RO but to be honest i see no harm in messing about trying to get it right.. i have sourced a cheap systym so all i need to know is my ingredients to start my setup and it might even be fun lol Calcium chloride Calcium sulphite Epson salts Pickled lime Phosphoric...
