WOW ******* MOMENT OF THE CENTURY..... i never crushed the malts HA! wow i feel absolutely retarded right now! Thank you all for your help.... looks like i am going to have to brew again this weekend!

I actually fly sparge, the extra water was in the lauter tun, and i shut off the flow when i got close to the 6.25 gallons. We didn't have any wort settled in the mash tun at the end we drained it all out into the kettle for the boil. The wort didn't look particularly thin. In fact i felt...

7lbs Munich 7lbs Pilsner 1.25 lbs Vienna. Mash in temp @ 155 for 1.5 hours - used 4.25gal water Sparge water temp 165 - since it cools as it goes through the grain bed I was looking for an OG of 1.076 - which i have gotten around that the two other times i brewed this recipie. It is a...

Just did a weizenbock batch, this is my third time brewing this particular recipe, and when i went to take the OG my hydrometer read 1.010 @ 68*F. To me this reads that there is 0% potential alcohol. I am not sure what i did wrong here. I caliberated the hydrometer with water and it seems to...

Yes i noticed this on alot of different sites i have been to just to make sure but we always stir well just to make sure.

I can't post the recipe because it was created by a buddy of mine who does not like sharing however, i can tell you that the previous batch as with all batchs i do i take the gravity ready right before i throw in the yeast, which is after topping off with water to get to the desired batch size...

I took very specific notes the last time i brewed this. Last time we brewed we actually did not sparge at all we use the 2.5 gallons we collected out of the mash tun then added water after the boild to get to 5.5 so in theory since we sparged this time we should have been far more efficient and...

I brewed yesturday recreating my favorite recipe i take rediculous notes so i know that my process was exactly the same and the mash times and temperatures were all the same as well as boil time ect. However, i got an OG reading of 1.054 (not the 1.072 i got last time and was looking for). My...

I am planning out my "brewery" in the basement of my house (i have no garage and it gets cold outside in the winter so an outside station is out). Has anyone ever used induction stoves for brewing? I feel like it would be safer than propane or natural gas for indoors, and my stove is electrci...

yes i have a racking cane, and siphon. I bought the deluxe kit from the local home brew store which came with both. Thanks for the help, since i am new to this, i am unsure what will complete destroy my beer, and what wont hurt it too much.

I just brewed my first batch of beer, an irish stout. I have read several books and have looked over this forum, but cannot figure out if letting air in when siphoning from fermenter 1 to fermenter 2 is aloud or not. Do i merely take the air lock out, stick the siphoning tube in where that...
