Can I steep different grain together or I have to do them separately? thanks Ern

I'm getting ready to bottle my California common beer that fermented at 55F. I see that the temperature affects the size of sugar. All the other beers I did were at 68-70 F and then stored at the same temp... now this one is at 55F but will be stored with the other ones at 68-70. Does that...

thanks for the info .. do I keep the same quantity .5 oz or I need to adjust ?

I need to use .5 oz of Horizon for bittering in a recepie but I cannot find some. I looked and Magnum is a substitution for it. I read that it might cause problem because Horizon 12% is a low cohumulone hop. I'm not quite sure what it means and I'm not sure if the magnum 13% a cohumulone...

I had plans to brew tonight but my other bag is in the secondary dry hopping and I wanted to brew tonight. Can I steep one half of the grain and let it rest when it's done, while I re use the bag with the other half of the grain and then dump it all in the boil? thanks for the info

They have everything, extract in bulk you just tell them what you need and they package it for you (hops, grain, extract.. name it). Very simple, you order by e-mail or phone and tell them when you want to pick it up and it's ready when you come. I've only been pleased doing business with...

Definitaly a great shop. I didn't ask for anything they offered to send it for free. I haven't been brewing for long but I've always had a great service there and it's where I am going back for my next batches ! www.biereetvin.com in montreal. It's a small counter and a huge wearhouse in...

problem solved.. they send me by mail no charge the 40L. What a great service!

On my receipt it says crystal 70-80 and on the bag they wrote crystal 70-80. I thought about it too.. I wouldn't know for sure. hehe thanks

My dad picks up my order from the LBS usually because it's so far out of the way and when he visits he brings the order for me. They made an error they gave me Crystal 70-80 H bairds and I ordered crystal 40L. I'm only using 340 gram to steep in a California common beer made from...

They move.. I need to put effort into it. I'll see on my next batch ! thanks for the help

the store claims it's normal the caps moves

XXguy when you put it on can you move the cap.. turn it with using some force basically? I'm trying to understand how the equipment can be faulty.

this is the space I have on the bell thanks for the info and help Ernie

I only got 1 bell with it. ... hmmm. why can't things be simple. How do I know I have the right size bell ? It really sucks because I got my APA just the way I like it. It's really upseting after work opening one and not hearing a PSSSSHT !

I'm looking to do a porter for a friend. Never done any before but i'm looking for a lighter maybe a little hoppy porter to brew. I looked a little at the database but couldn't find anything. something extract with steeping. I'm still a begginers so still learning everyday. Thanks a...

same bottles I`ve been using. The only thing I can see is that I used a board to put on top of the base of the capper since I couldn`t get the right height adjusted. looks like there are parts of the base that is higher and my board might have been a little crooked.. hence the crooked cap on...

so I ran some test with my capper tongiht and no matter what I do I can always move the caps on the bottle... they always turn.. not easely but not with super human streght... Tested it with coke in the bottle.. shaked them pretty hard and didn`t seem to be any leaks.
