+ 1 Gallon Honey Porter + 1 Gallon Black IPA = 13,355

I tried my first BIAB today. I used Beersmith to calculate the water volumes. I was way off on the final wort. I did a 2 gallon, 60 minute test boil last night and I lost .75 gal. Beersmith calculated I needed 7.99 quarts. I probably ended up with 1.33 gallons. I'm guessing squeezing the bag...

Thanks to all the generous vendors! Count me in.

Me too, please!

I'm just a beginner but I've dumped 3 out of 4 of my batches so far. 2 were due to some cheap tubing my LHBS sold me (made them taste like plastic) the other I just didn't like. The one I kept was drinkable but not amazing. Kegging 5th tonight, fingers crossed.

I have them and a lot of the dvd content is on their youtube channel Woops, I should've read all the posts, Yesfan already posted that.

Oh cool, I have that book actually. I just wasn't familiar with the acronym. Thanks!

What is BCS exactly?

Just finished up brewing some all grain- Dry Dock Urca Vanilla Porter. Tried out some new equipment so it didn't go as smooth as I'd like. Only time will tell...

Hello brewers, I'm trying to figure out which pump to buy to circulate cold water through my Blichmann Therminator. I'm not really sure of the science behind flow rates, but I've read that a higher GPH flow, isn't necessarily optimal. 2 pumps I'm looking at in particular are: 92 GPH...

Some beers you can only find in different parts of the world, so it's nice to have them at the ready.

I had almost the exact same experience with NB. They're my go to when ordering online.

Building a hop spider and brewing my second AG batch!

The videos from northern brewer are pretty good in my opinion. Or there's videos more specific to Coopers

I just pitched the Wyeast packet for the first batch, no starter. The second batch was dry, so I just re-hydrated and pitched, no starter for dry yeast. For the first batch I just poured the wort through a strainer for aeration (that's all my LHBS said to do). The second batch I used...

Interesting... well I do keep the fermentation bucket in a tub of water with ice so I suppose this could be the case.

First batch was bottled so I boiled priming sugar/water. Doesn't seem over-carbonated. Second batch was carb'd by the set and forget method. I think my fridge is somewhere around 38 deg. at 10psi (per chart I found floating around here)

Also, I used iodophor for the first batch and starsan for the second batch. I aerated the second batch's wort with o2 before pitching.

First batch was bottled (stout). Tasted at 3 weeks and 6 weeks at 70 degree conditioning, same aftertaste. Second batch was keg'd, and is about 2 weeks old in the fridge. I know stouts can take a few months to condition and the recommended minimum for keg condition is around 3 weeks but I...

I've brewed 2 batches so far and I'm getting a almost plastic aftertaste and even a slight smell of the same caliber. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening to my brews. I've done some searches and they all point to water. I used bottled water for both brews and as far as I'm aware...
