I inputed the ingredients into beer smith and 21.7 SRM seems kind of dark for an Irish red ale. I’d love to get that cherry red look. Any help in altering these. I have these ingredients on hand already. I have a few stragglers. I’d have to look what I have on the shelf.

Been awhile. Getting ready to brew. Decided to clean mill and I forgot what I had it set to. I just set it to .020. One pass. Is this to fine???

I made mango blonde using 5 lbs of frozen organic mango chunks from sprouts inside the secondary ferm at about 58* after dropping the yeast and the blonde was absolutely delicious. It only lasted about 2 weeks on tap. My girl wants a hefe with a banana taste. I bought Omega bananza yeast for...

I brewed a blonde on Tuesday. The girlfriend wants mangos or try to do mangos into it. We bought about 5lbs of a little more of frozen mango chunks. My question is. I'm currently fermenting under pressure. I always do about 10psi to Just help the carbonation process. Right now it's...

I am tackling a very high 1.100-1.104 gravity brew saturday. Never attempted this high before. My last two 7% beers were 75% efficiency all said and done. Should i roll with it and keep it at 75% or lower to 70% with recipe. I dont mind if the outcome is under the 10% and is 9 or even 8. but if...

Do I just use them how they are. Visual look and then use duofiller? I've read not to soak in water or sanitizer because of DO.. Answers or opinions appreciated

Anybody want to critique this? I found one online. Adapted to my batch size and altered the ibu and color and tweaked to get around 5% alc which I want. Any issues or change recommendations?

Next beeri want to make is a blonde. Such as 805. But I'm thinking with a twist. Has anyone used imperial juice for a ale. Like a blonde. Any results? Maybe 2 row and a honey malt and something but with juice by imperial? Crazy? I have a alot of CO workers that drink 805. Trying to think...

Ok let's start by beersmith and my numbers. My mash. When drained. I was close to the numbers. 1.058 and about 8g maybe a tad more. Beersmith preboil 1.061 and 7.98g. I was darn happy with that. While it was coming up to a boil I stirred the wort with my whisk to make sure it was mixed...

Maybe a dumb question but if I plan to purge 2 5g kegs during fermentation to save on CO2 tank. I sanitized both 5g kegs I dumped them out. Closed them up. Now do I want the CO2 to go down the dip tube beverage line and purge to the top. Or go into the in port and purge oxygen from bottom up...

So.. I got my setup going. I'm due to brew my first batch in yeaaaaars this Saturday or Sunday on my spike 15g solo. I have 3 brand new kegland 5g kegs. I figured I would soak them in pbw. And rinse them so they are ready to fill with starsan on brewday and use the fermentation to push the...

is the top total water the total water 8.56g I need to fill my kettle for my Biab no sparge brew? so my salts would be based on that number? or half way down my image it shows mash volume needed. 9.42g. I'm confused. I'm to new to this stuff LOL

My whole house has a water softener. It uses the salt. I bought a buckeye hydro 3 filter RO premium filter plus chloramines removal filter. Should I run this from hose on hard hard water. Or run it after my whole house filter. I have a catalytic carbon tank and a softener for whole house...

Brewersfriend yeast starter site is easy with imperial yeast. These new 004 next gen 70ml packets by white labs is confusing the next outta me. It has an option on website for 100bill or 200bill packets. What are these packets ? Also looking up QC. Is the manufacture date the same date as...

What scale is accurate for lbs,oz for malt and grains and oz for hops. I figured one scale for lbs for the malt and one for hops and accurate oz??

Why isn't nectaron pellets in beersmith to get an accurate recipe. Or I can input it myself but I don't know what to put in for the asked questions.

Should I get 3/8 vinyl or silicone tubing for the glycol lines? Not sure if one or the other is better at holding the cold temps in.

Ok milling is something I didn't think about as I order my Spike/SSBT equipment. But I ran across this. wouldn't hurt to have stashed so I know when I know I'm Milling is the correct size. My question is this. I really do not want to buy a new drill lol. Why couldn't I use my new Cordless...

They make a heating pad with a connector that goes to their own ftss controller system. Does anybody who has that heating pad, is it AC power or low voltage? I see they made a connector on it to go with the ftss. But I need that heating pad alone. Ill cut the connector and wire a normal wall...
