After some different tastes in my last batch, using tap water for brewing, and some reading regarding brewing water, I want to try and start with RO water and build a profile for the next batch. I have a spare RO filter that is new in the box and may as well give it a shot. I downloaded the...

Looking for some bottle filling advice. I typically ferment in a bucket and have a separate bottling bucket with spigot. I have used it for bottling day with a bottle filler, but don't like racking into a separate vessel just for bottling out of concern for oxygenation. I have also bottled...

I want to use a recipe that is defined for a 5 gallon BIAB batch to make a 3 gal BIAB batch. Is it as simple as proportioning each ingredient (fermentables, hops, etc.) appropriately? Namely, take each quantity specified and multiply times 3, then divide by 5? All brew steps and addition...

Extract brewer. Wanting to switch to BIAB with eBIAB setup. I have seen several nice electric setups, but the question I have is: Is there a 'best' kettle config? For the basics, I want ports in the lower part of the kettle for an electric element, drain port, and temp probe. The top of...

Thinking about ordering a 15 gal brew kettle from Spike. Need ports for valve, temp sensor, and heating element. I want to use tri-clamp fittings. Can I spec all the ports as 1.5" TC? Thanks

Wanting to move from extract to BIAB. Needing a bigger kettle. Looking at 15gal kettle for 5gal or so batches. Also, thinking about going electric by adding a heating element to the kettle. Does anyone sell a pre-drilled kettle with two holes down low and, maybe, one higher for a temp probe...

I have a wheat extract recipe that I haven't gotten around to brewing for a few months. I noticed the White Labs Hefeweizen liquid yeast says 'Best By Feb 1 2017' on it. It has been refrigerated since I received it. Do you think I can still use it or is it garbage? Thanks

I have had an IPA in a primary fermenter (plastic pail) for 3 weeks and 2 days. It is a Bell's 2-Hearted clone. Due to my work schedule, I have not been able to get it into a secondary and dry hop as the directions recommend. Should I just dry hop the primary, wait a few days, and bottle...
