Hey everyone. Want to make a sparge water heater out of a 15 L cooking pot. What element can you guys recommend? I want to punch a hole in the side and stick thru the element, powered with 110 volts.

Yeaaahhh that would be fantastic!

Looking for 6 SwissFlow SF800 flowmeters. I am planning a keezer build, and want to integrate RasberryPints into this project. Anyone have any available? I am posting from Canada.

Cheers mate! I like books🤓

Starting to use 100% ro water for brewing. Mostly brewing ales, with us05 yeast. Any recommendations for water profiles to get me started?

Yep, I should probably do a thorough read. I'm a guy who likes to skim instructions, not gonna lie. 🤪

Ohhhhh I see! You're right, I was under the impression this outputs values for the water adjustments. My misunderstanding. All good then, I will work on it.

Okay, well here are pictures of the minerals in my tap water. I am unable to attach the Exel worksheet that I have already started. How can I share my spreadsheet with you?

Hello everyone. I have a water report, and I am trying to make the Bru'n Water spreadsheet work for me, so I can determine how many and what minerals I need. It doesn't seem to work, not sure where I am messing up. Anyone willing to help me out? I would private message you my water profile...

So I am using RO water for my brew. It has a PH of 8 before mash. The water additives I have are Epsom salt, gypsum and calcium chloride, recommended to me. Now I am just wondering How do I determine how much of each I would need to get me started. Thanks for everyone's replies and information...

You mentioned mash PH. I just learned that my water, before mashing has a PH of 8! Which is pretty high, ideally you want it around 5.2, am I right? Will a high PH in water affect the fermentation? I already looked into getting water treatment for my next batch.

Yes, he is using yeast nutrient and we did the same recipe our last brew day.

Good day folks. Is using yeast nutrient necessary? Most of my beers I am using US-05 yeast, I have a friend who's using the same yeast in his fermentation seems to be nicer and "heavier", if you will, than mine. Just wondering how the yeast nutrient will affect then end result beer. Thank you.

I got the ingredients and directions from a friend, without a recipe. So I don't have an OG today. I did have 2 hop additions. For the next batch I will use a recipe and make sure I know my OG before getting started. And ask here if I have any questions. Thank you for your time and help.

Yes I'm simply raising the basket out and rinsing off the grains. Always thought this was referred to a fly sparge, but I guess not. Not using any software, as I am still learning. I am not sure what my aim is for gravity, how is this determined? My pre boil gravity is 1.040 but I have actually...

Yes, I am recirculating. It's a light beer by choice, yes. I just fly sparge, pour the 9L of water of the grain and let it rinse thru. When do I take a gravity reading then? New to brewing, so please bear with me. :)

It's for a 7 gallon batch. Just started mashing, I did not take a gravity reading yet.

Hello. I made a mistake when I calculated my mash water. I have 9.5lbs of grain, and 19 litres mash water in my brewzilla, and then 9 litres for sparging. I had the grain in before I realized my mistake. So now my mash is very watery. I am wondering if this will work. Will I still get good...

It is fermenting at 18-20 degrees Celcius.

Okay, thats very helpful. I'm also wondering, When I am sparging with my Brewzilla, how long should that take? 5 minutes? 20 minutes?
