3 CMC pale malt Thanks!

What pH did you aim for/achieve for this?

Thank you scavenge! I used a sheet of plywood, stained in a blue/gray shade. I wanted to use barn wood, but the inconsistency in each piece would have made it difficult to rest a glass. Unfortunately this is about the last of the usable wood from the barn. The barn was torn down years ago and...

Thanks ajdelange! I used enough sauermalz to get target a pH of 5.3, which I thought would be better for a wit beer. After 5 minutes I was at 5.26 and at 30 minutes I was at 5.34, so I assumed that was good enough. I after the rest of the malt after 60 minutes and I ended up with really high...

That makes sense! Thanks mabrungard! It actually makes my life easier, I couldn't find pickling lime anywhere and nerd to order it online.

I'm brewing a 5 gallon all grain all Brett Belgian white tomorrow, using distilled water. First brew session with my hach pH meter too. The recipe is great, it is from zymurgy article by chad from crooked stave. Last time I brewed was a partial mash version before I cared about water. This time...

How did the Conan version come out? I've never had the original but want to try to use Conan on an APA, IPA and DIPA to see where it works best. I've had double citra in my sights for a while now.

Thanks!

Just finished mine this week. Used barn wood from my grandparents barn. I have two fans inside the tower, one blowing up and one blowing down, works perfectly.

Excellent, thanks for the update!

Do you know how early it might arrive?

I just received a hach pH meter in the mail, but don't have deionized water. Should I try to find some or is distilled water OK to rinse the probe with? Is there anywhere I can buy it? Thanks. Sent from my VS980 4G using Home Brew mobile app

Mchrispen, I brewed the beer with 100% distilled and only shifted from the primer slightly. Spent a good amount of time with bru'n water and used 1% acid malt and less than a gram of baking soda in addition to the calcium chloride quantity mentioned in the primer. I targeted 5.4 pH. I know I...

I will dilute if I don't go 100% distilled! I'm working through five gallons of harsh beer because I didn't dilute last time, I will not make that mistake again. Thank you for taking the time to help me, very much appreciated. I might just pull the trigger on the pH meter. If I'm not doing...

Mchrispen, Don't worry, I am not taking it critically. 1. I don't know, which is the problem. I don't know what I am shooting for, and I rarely brew the same beer multiple times especially not in a row. Nut brown ale would be correct. I do not know what Troeg's is doing to their water. They...

Thanks again mchrispen! I will do just that. My next planned batch is a low abv brown ale(in the vain of troeg's rugged trail), and I will use the primer. I have my eye on the Hach pH meter, but will continue to read up on usage before buying one and will be studying bru'n water knowledge base...

Thanks for the response mchrispen! Sorry for the late response, didn't have power for a while. I will revisit bru'n water once I get internet back. Aside from the primer and trial and error, are there any recommended readings that really simplify water? I'm not really sure what I to target for...

Water continues to befuddle me even though I have been trying. I got my water report done over the summer after moving and tried adjusting my water using beersmith, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use it properly so I used a spread sheet (can't remember which) to estimate some...
