I mean I get that thats why im not critically worried about it being lower than the "estimated" according to these programs i guess this was kind of a pointless thread

I currently have 2 beers in primary fermentation right now one a Winter Ale and the other an Irish Red. The winter ale is at day 10 of fermentation and the irish red is at day 4. I was taking a gravity sample of the winter ale and decided to take one of the irish red too, its early still i...

looking at the pictures in the product description and cant tell but does anyone know if there are the gallon markings on the inside of this kettle?

the recipe i based mine off of called for 3 cinnamon sticks, 1 full vanilla bean, 1 oz of ginger root, it didnt call for nutmeg i was going to add that on my own. i was researching it and found out that 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract equals roughly 2" of vanilla bean stalk, so i was going to do...

if you mashed at 152°-153° for 60 min you would get a better conversion rate and pick up those gravity points and get your OG closer to where its estimated

Vanilla extract, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg powder, ginger root

I currently have a winter style ale in primary fermentation. I am planning on transferring to a secondary in 10-14 days and letting it sit for at least 2 weeks before kegging. While in secondary I am going to be adding some spices to give it that festive spirit and my question is when adding...

i think im going to say this correctly, or at least along the right line because this took me awhile to grasp myself, and i still stumble on it from time to time mash efficiency is measured by how many of the converted sugars from the mash make it to the boil so even if youre doing BIAB from...

looks good, i have a starter going for a winter ale im brewing this weekend, just curious what was your recipe and hop schedule if you dont mind sharing

Asking again still no answer Anybody have this come out not hoppy with the specified hops? Used the hops in the recipe at the times specified and I basically got a dark brown/black ale, which isn’t bad it’s pretty good, just not hoppy at all

So like i said i went back and spoke with the guy that normally helps me out, and the guy that told me that wasn't necessarily wrong he just didnt say it the right way, so the brand of base malts they carry had a cross polination between their 2 row and 6 row and the 6 row of this particular...

Cream Ale

I went back today and talked to the guy I normally deal with, got it sorted out

I was there a month ago and got 6 row and 2 row for a brew day, I mean if they don’t carry it why would every time I go there even to get 2 row would they not say anything until now

So I went to my LHBS to pick some grains and hops for a upcoming brew day and it’s for the same beer I made about a month ago as well, which consists of 6 row and 2 row for base malt. The last time I picked up these grains they bagged and labeled Avery thing separate for me and his time when I...

Gonna knock the carapils down next time and the og was taken at 70 degrees and all readings during fermentation were 68 degrees

You couldn’t have nailed it anymore dead on, smooth easy drinking with a nice spice that’s not overpowering
