For the price Stone wants for their beer, most of the time it's not worth it for me. I can get the same or better at the same price and support a local brewery in process over their beer.

Bru'n Water is where it's at. Been using it for about 6 months and checking the PH and its always within .05PH usually closer. Easy to use too.

Yes, I live in New Brighton. Had previously lived in Minneapolis the last 5 years and my first brew here turned out WAY different than I was expecting. I quickly learned the water was much different than what I was used to. Bru'N Water says my Mash PH will be 5.3, that is with my malts and...

Do my results look like they are in-line with what they should be with the minerals I will be adding? Here are my results from Ward Labs, I have very hard water it seems. pH 7.7 TDS Est 370 EC 0.62 Cations 7.1 Anions 6.9 Sodium 7 Calcium 79 Magnesium 33 Potassium 2 Total Hardness...

Anyone brewed this or tried it side by side in the can? I love this beer and I might try and make this.

6 gallon Citra IPA. 13812 + 6 = 13818

I will get equipment from Midwest but I excessively buy ingredients from Northern.

Its not SS :(, Chrome plated. My girlfriend got it for me for my birthday, so I cant complain. hehe But the other faucet is a Perl SS.

Built my Keezer thanks to this thread! Thank you so much everyone! :ban::ban:

I start my timer once I add the hops... So I let the water get up to a boil, I turn off the stove/burner, and add my DME/LME. Then I get it all mixed in there good and put it back on the burner and mix it while it gets up to a boil to prevent scorching(this mostly only with LME). Once it...

I have not used it personally, but I was looking all over the internet this weekend to see if it would fit a 6.5 carboy w/ the airlock, and it is very very close. You need about 26.25" of space to fit it in there without hitting the top, and from I found the ge 5.0 model has an inside height of...

Sweet, thank you!

Oh cool, so transporting the beer will not oxidize it? Or is the head space small enough to not worry pretty much?

To get to the question right away, is it advisable to transport freshly bottled beer? It would only be about a 15 minute journey, but I'm not sure how that will affect it, especially if I am transporting it only about an hour or two later =/. I didn't want to transport it while it was...

Its like i just read a mystery novel! There was so much build up to the climax, and then right when the climax hit the main character just disappeared with no sign of what happened (except for a few obvious clues here, lol). No one knew what happened or if he would ever come back, and then...

oh cool! Thank you for the quick answers/guidelines. I will wait for the full two weeks and try it out, hopefully everything is tasting good with no flaws. I'm assuming it takes a little training of the tongue to find all those different beer flaw tastes, but ill try!

What should I expect or look for when I taste my beer from the fermenter? This is my first brew and I am just anxious to know if its doing good or bad, but I am not sure what it should be tasting and looking for. Or is this not advised? It has been just over a week, It is a medium bodied...

I have my first beer in the fermenter and everything was going great, it has a good layer of that white/browny foam on top, the air lock was bubbling good for a good 3-4 days, but now it is dead it seems. I started reading up on fermenting temperatures, and I then looked at the temperature of...
