I wanted some opinions has anyone ever seen kettle trub look this white? I never have seen it look like this and I’m a little worried virtually no hops were used. Any help is appreciated.

I kegged and carbed at hazy IPA on Sunday it came out exactly as I want and I loved the beer. It tastes just as good on Monday then after work yesterday(Tuesday) I poured myself a glass and it is absolutely not the same beer. Aroma greatly faded softness isn’t quite as good and overall taste is...

I brewed with lallemend kviek Voss yeast it was a total beast grain to glass in 6 days. I made an IPA with citra and Amarillo which both should taste like citrus but it has a distinctly orange kinda fake flavor. Did anyone else experience this I don’t think the flavor is the hops I’m not sure...

So it appears I have my first ever infected brew. This is a saison brewed with mangrove jack French saison yeast the look of the infection did not start until I added dry hops and dried dandelion which i froze for over 24hrs to kill the bugs but I must assume that did not work. I’m curious on...

Hey guys I was just wondering how everyone feels about ordering yeast online now that it’s warm out. I love Imperial juice yeast for my NEIPAs but it’s in the 80s now so I’m a little worried it will get ruined. I usually order from northern brewer. My local home brew shop carries it but they...

Who here is using a counter flow chiller? I bought the exhillerator a few months back because cooling is my least favorite part of the brew day but I have been less then impressed. I had to add a bleeder valve in order to get the ring to work first of all. Then I don’t understand how people are...

Hey guys I’m in the middle of a brew day and made a really dumb move. I thought I switched over to my boil kettle and for heat but I turned my HLT heat on. It was glowing bright red when I realized and it looks burnt now. Is it a goner?

Hey guys I was wondering what you all think. I have a 6 tap keezer and I fly through my CO2 really fast like once a month. I use the co2 to pressurize kegs to clean them and the lines as well. I have everything super tight I regularly check and make sure the clamps are screwed as tight as they...

Has anyone ever gotten a soapy taste with Sabro hops? It was my first time using them and I definitely get the coconut which was awesome but then there is this soap aftertaste that’s not so great. I know you can get soap from being on yeast two long but this didn’t even sit in yeast for two weeks.

I put in a recipe at a home brew shop and picked it up today. They accidentally milled it and I said that was no problem the grain is a complete recipe. I go home and find it looks like this. It looks like maybe someone put it next to a grain mill so I milled it myself. I have been wondering...

So I’m currently brewing on my ss brewtech electric system and I cannot get wort to flow out of the kettle down to the pump it’s making me insane. This keeps happening and now I’m dealing with super hot liquid. I’ve been told it’s due to aid so how do I fix it and prevent it.

Does anyone brew with the electric ss brewtech system and have temperature problems with the mash tun. I just switched to this system it’s 3 vessel with the 2v controller. My first brew on it I had to put boiled water in to get the temp up. This time around I did strike water of 170 with 10.5...

Does anybody know a good website for bulk grains I’m looking to get a few 50 pound sacks but prices vary a lot. Any suggestions?

Sorry if this has been posted a million times I didn’t see it. I’m wondering people’s opinion on this. How come liquid yeast packaging directions is so wildly different from the yeast calculators. My next brew day I’m doing a simple wheat beer expected to end at 1.052. Every yeast calculator and...

Has anyone ever used imperial juice yeast in a pale ale or use it as a house strain. I’m loving it in my NEIPA and was curious about this since next brew day is a pale ale.

Hey guys I was wondering how other peoples efficiency is. I use the brewers edge mash and boil with recirculating pump. It’s basically brew on a bag with a sparge. I tend to get inbetween 68-70% efficiency. My last brew day I recirculation arm got clogged and my efficiency was terrible only like...

Hi everybody I know a lot of people are sick of hearing this question but I was wondering if you could tell me what you think of my water report. I’m thinking it’s good the ph looks a little high and I’m having trouble downloading software for some reason my iPad won’t let download brun or ez water.

Hey everyone I was wondering how much fruit purée some of you use to get your beer where you want it. I did a kettle 5.5 gallons and used 7.5 pounds of plumb purée I wanted it to be very fruit forward and there’s like nothing there. The color is beautiful but flavor is a barely detectable. I...

I know this sounds like it is an equipment issue but I just cannot make sense of it. I made a sour last night I cooled it to 115 pre soured it with lactic acid took a reading with a paper test and my ph meter both were slightly below 4 so I actually added a little too much but it will be fine...

I got a 4 pack of used 5 gallon kegs. They most certainly are very used looking one has a serious dent in the bottom. Is it okay to use or should I see if I can send it back? I tested it doesn’t leak. One more question another one of the kegs I cannot get the kid to sit right with out it leaking...
