Kits bought from More Beer. My crush. .028.

See answers below Different recipes i.e. one pale and one stout and drastically different pH's (did you do any acid or lime)? Both IPA's. No Lime. Only Gypsum, Calcium Chloride, Epsom Salt Overall volume of water different? Not really - only a .10 of a difference. How did you measure...

I have been using my Anvil for the last year. 11 batches thus far. So far, I love the ease of operation and being able to brew in all kinds of weather as I have now moved to brewing in the basement. My only true issue with it is that it is consistently inconsistent when it comes to...

I pretty much exclusively use dry yeast. Safale, Lalbrew, Mangrove, etc. I have never had to pitch more than one packet and have never had a beer under attenuate (I acually usually have the opposite problem.) O.G.'s from 1.040 up to 1.085 11g for me always works I think that some of the...

I use to start whenever I felt like it, never had an issue with my kids, even when they were younger. Then one time I had equipment failure and everything was closed, so I had to scrap the batch. From that day forward, I have never started after 9AM (usually mashed in by 7AM these days.)...

Maybe your thermometer is off? I was having the same over attenuation issues. Turns out my thermometers (handheld digital and built in on my foundry) were off by a few degrees. Mash high next time and see if you have the same issue. Also, not taking into account mash efficiency, you could...

I have done both. When I dry hop in the keg, I use a 1 gallon paint strainer bag. I honestly cannot really taste the difference between the two methods. The only time I do it is when we brew as a group and cannot dry hop in the primary (1 BBL.) I have had dry hops in a keg for close to...

Brewfather. Just easier to use and transfers to all platforms.

The switch was really easy. I find it must more user friendly, and the fact that you can use it on all phone, tablet, PC, etc and it saves automatically is a plus. I have yet to see a downside to it really. The only thing is possible missing ingredients, but I brew "simple" so that is few and...

I used Beersmith for years, switched to Brewfather last year

I brewed this yesterday morning. Pitched full pack at 95 degrees at 11am. Blowoff was bubbling in just over an hour and had krausen by 2PM. I checked it this morning before I left for work and the krausen already fell. I'm going to let it sit a few days before I check my FG. I can't...

Just received my Pumpzilla to replace my almost dead chuggar pump (have to tap with a hammer to get it going.) Also bought myself a new Taprite single CO2 regulator for carbing. The original regulator was donated to me when I bought some tanks off craiglsist and had to be close to 25 years old...

I'm going to be brewing a Hazy Pale, 1.047 roughly. Should I underpitch with half a pack or just use the whole yeast pack? I thought I may have read somewhere about this?

I'm not in a rush. Just wanted to try the yeast as it is fermenting in a warm area. I still need to dry hop. Just pitched and was letting it ride. Currently at 80 degrees.

Tried this yeast for the first time on Sunday. Pitched full packet at 100 degrees at 11:30AM. 1.070 OG. I had bubbling in the airlock by 2PM and krausen by 6PM. Crazy to actually witness. I'm not going to check gravity again until Friday.

I use the paint strainer bag method. Never had an issue. I squeeze the bag to get all the wort out.

While it may not be necessary, I have gained 10% efficiency with my electric BIAB (Anvil) setup by doing the following: 1. change my crush to .030 2. 170 degree mashout for 10 minutes. 3. Sparge with 1 gallon of water (170 degrees or so) Costs me nothing other than maybe an extra 20 minutes...

There are a bunch of Homebrew stores in North Jersey. North Jersey Homebrew in Sparta Cask n kettle in Boonton Homebrew University in Hackettstown. I think there are a few others, but don’t know them off hand.

I bought the siphonless version. It leaked from the moment I put it together. Tried and tried and couldn't get it to seal properly. Northern Brewer just refunded my money and didn't want it back. Flash forward 2 months. I'm at my lhbs and decided to buy a spigot for a normal bottling bucket...
