    Diffusion stone

    Other than a home brew store where can I get a diffusion stone at? I'm looking for one around town and can't find them. Would an aquarium air stone be the same? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Aeration question

    How we'll would a drill motor with a paint stirrer aerate the wort? Let's say about 4 or 5 minutes at high speed and moving it up and down in the wort. Do y'all think that would be sufficient? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Recipe Q Vienna and Carapils

    I'm doing a partial mash Ale and wanted to know if when using Vienna 1/2 lb. do I still want to use Carapils 1/4 lb. Does Vienna do the same as Carapils? Carapils adds body, foam retention, and beer stability. Should I use both or just bump the Vienna up a little bit And just use Vienna?

    Hop schedules

    Bittering, flavor, and aroma. Could or why would you want to do a bittering at let's say 60 minutes then at 30 minutes and at 8 minutes then 2 minutes. Splitting them up like this does it make any difference then just doing a 60 min. 15 min. And a 2 min.
