Would going AG make chlorine noticeable in my beer when it wasn’t noticeable when I did extract? I ask because I’ve recently moved albeit just down the street basically. I’ve brewed three times since the move. An extract IPA that came out great. A PM robust porter. That has been in bottle...

Just noticed The price on the 5 cf holiday Chest freezer was 129. Maybe I'm crazy but last week It was 157. Hmmm? Looks Like I will be making a purchase.

Great info. Thanks again.

So I'm doing my first AG batch this weekend. The special bitter from Brewing Classic Styles. Just put the info into the Mr. Malty calc and because the date on my Wyeast 1968 ESB is from March it says to use 3 smack packs in a 1.5l starter. I have been trying to make an effort to follow this...

Please ignore previous idiotic post.

Having a brain freeze here. Does Promash give you your strike temperature? Can't seem to find it listed. Thanks in advance.

Hey I just got my keggle back and my chiller doesn't fit in top. Just curious if anyone has had to re bend the copper. Is it enough to just work the copper around a smaller diameter shape to make it fit? Thanks in advance for any insights.

It's been a long day but where are you putting the ice? Is it for a pre-chiller? Sorry if I'm spacing here.

I was reading the mr malty article on starters and he said he just dumps the whole thing in up to a certain point I'm just curious what that point is. I could see it being different depending on the style but just looking for some general guidance. Thanks.

Not to hijack the threat but how would the chest freezer work in a garage that the ambient temps got higher than say 90 for a couple months of the year?

Way to go man. Can't wait for my next brew day.

I listened to the brew strong epsiode I on water yesterday during a run. It got me excited and confused at the same time. I've had a gradual progression over the last year or so. Extract in the kitchen, full boil extract/steeping grains, PM, and hope to do first all grain next month. I...

Hello all- Basic question here. Recently I didn't boil as vigorously as usual. I know this because I usually boil off about 1 gallon over an hour and this time I boiled off about 3/4 of a gallon. My gravity reading was a little off after I cooled (1.055 shooting for 1.064, but still within...

Posted this in the DYI section. Didn't get anything. Greetings so I recently put a ball valve on my bayou classic 15 gallon pot. Slowly turning her into a HLT. I bought a thermo sight and I can't decide if I should put it above valve (would that be too much "dead space" below it or...

Greetings so I recently put a ball valve on my bayou classic 15 gallon pot. Slowly turning her into a HLT. I bought a thermo sight and I can't decide if I should put it above valve (would that be too much "dead space" below it) or kind of level with valve (would that put thermometer...

Not to be a pain but are my numbers just wacked? Or could this have happened? Thanks.

I added probably 2 liters of boiling water to mash to try and get temp to 153. Lme wasn't in first running calculations. I added that the last 15 minutes. But obviously it was in the OG of 1055 chilled. I hear you guys about getting most of fermentables from lme. But if my...

I used a refractometer.

I topped off with water to 7 gallons. Then boiled off 1 gallon over the hour.

I need to run this by you guys. Sorry if it is obvious but I can't figure out how I came pretty close to desired OG considering what my numbers are telling me. Recipe: 6.6 lb light LME 2.5 lb pale malt 1.5 lb Munich malt 1 lb crystal 40 .75 lb chocolate malt .50 lb black patent malt...
