    Florida PH Meter For Sale

    **SOLD** I'm selling my Milwaukee MW102, I've only used this once. Comes with everything included as new (including buffer solutions). The probe has been stored in solution the entire time. I recently picked up the PH56, which is very similar as far as accuracy goes. $75 shipped...

    Mash PH too low?

    I'll try and keep this short...I went back and forth between two brewing software systems to try and predict my mash PH. I also had a nice conversation with Ed Coffey (Ales of the Riverwards) about how he is treating his water...in particular for this clone...

    No Sparge Efficiency Loss

    I am considering no sparging my upcoming English Mild recipe. I have heard mixed opinions on how much efficiency folks are losing when choosing no sparge over batch sparging. How much have you seen from a loss standpoint? How much extra grain are you using if any to offset this? I should...

    Metal Shavings from Mill Rollers

    I noticed today after cleaning out my mash tun that I had some shiny metal bits below the bottom of the screen. This has happened before (previously with the Barley Crusher, now while using the Monster Mill) and I didn't see anything make it to the final product. Has anyone ever seen any...

    Lacto. Starter

    What would be the difference is doing a lacto starter with raw grain compared to pitching a vial of lacto in the starter instead? Secondly, how important is an airlock on this type of starter compared to a piece of tight foil over it like I normally use for traditional starters?

    Grain Crusher Roller Issue

    Noticed this morning (cleaning out my mash tun) that there was a small amount of metallic flecks at the bottom of the tun. After checking a few things and ruling them out, I ran a pound of grain through the Barley Crusher again. Ran a rare earth magnet through it and knew the problem right...

    Chest Freezer 101

    Any chest freezer experts out there? I'm using one as a fermentation chamber and have an Auber TD 100 temp. controller. I have just been testing this tonight and find that I'm chasing the temp quite a bit although my actual temp isn't moving much. I'm using a small piece of bubble wrap with...

    Plastic from Grain Sack

    Excited to open up my first 55 pound sack of 2-row, I inadvertently ripped it open not paying attention to the correct way to open these stitched bags. I noticed a couple of small pieces of clear plastic (from the inner bag) drop into the grain. Couldn't find them and now am concerned that...

    PBW and teflon tape

    Noticed a mention of not using PBW around teflon tonight. My Rubbermaid mash tun from Moreover has an exposed teflon taped thread inside. I ran PBW through the MT for an initial cleaning. Is this an issue? I emailed the company and am more confused at this point...transcript below...

    Rubbermaid MT Initial Cleaning

    Picked up one of these recently...http://morebeer.com/products/cooler-mash-tun-10-gallon.html Any recommendations on initial cleaning before use? Should I be taking apart the 2 piece ball valve and removing from the cooler?

    Blichmann Boilermaker G2 Owners...

    Just received one today and had a few questions... 1) Will be using for the HLT, is the heat shield necessary for a lower temp usage like this? Would rather not use. Also considered not using the thermometer as I'll probably using a Thermapen to check exact temps. 2) Regarding the dip...

    NB Hop Shots

    I picked up a couple of these as part of a kit and they definitely don't look clear and amber in color like the picture. Mine are dark green in color. Anyone have similar results? http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/hopshot.html
