Hi, has anyone brewed a nice all grain American pale ale? ive tried a couple of commercial gf beers and im not impressed :( cheers!

awesome, thanks a lot!

Going to brew this awesome looking stout this week! what mash pH should I aim for? I use bru n water to plan the ph cheers

Hi, when scaling a recipe down on beersmith do you adjust the grain percentages to match the original or let the program calculate new percentages to match the colour? cheers

I put the original recipe into beersmith and im getting 75IBU, does this sound right? cheers

Going back over my notes the first 4 days were 20C then down to 18 for 6 days, maybe set the temp controller to 17 next time?

use brunwater, put your grainbill and water profile in and it will estimate your mash ph

I have the probe taped to the middle of the fermenter with some rubber on top and set to 18C my all grain pale ale has been in primary for 10 days then secondary for 5. I tasted a sample last night and it has a slight alcohol bite to it(fusels)?

what temp should I set my fridge to to get a ferment temp of 18C inside the fermenter? I read a few posts saying the temp inside the fermenter is a fair bit higher than the ambient temp. Cheers

Thanks for the great info!

Thanks Martin, I took the ro membrane back, they tested it and said they were getting 12ppm and gave me a new one, after replacing the membrane and flushing a few tanks im getting a reading of 20ppm???not sure what is going on :( I used br u n water for my last brew and it predicted my pH to...

Does that mean its not safe to drink water from a di filter? I read a few posts about potential toxins from the resins leaching into the water

the feedwater is 95, I just turned the pressure down and I am getting a reading of 11

Thanks for the advice! I might put the filter on ebay or keep it as a spare for my nuclear reactor ;)

Hi, I just bought a gt6-22 nuclear grade deionizing filter, does anyone know if they are safe to use? do they leach any toxic substances into the water? i have a ro system which is putting out 14ppm water and thinking of adding this on just for brewing. Cheers

Would adding a de ionizing filter to my system give me near 0ppm water for brewing?

Thanks for the advice martin! The tds went back up to 21, will keep testing it

I emptied a whole tank into a rinsed bucket and now the reading is 14, good enough I hope!

yep, I emptied about 5 tanks, I didn't disconnect the carbon filters from the ro membrane to flush the carbon first. I put all the new filters in and drained 5 tanks
