Hey guys, here is my current water supply profile and I have a few questions: Calcium: 4.20 ppm Sulfate: 9.00 ppm Magnesium: 0.46 ppm Chloride: 9.00 ppm Sodium: 13.10 ppm Alkalinity (as CaCO3): 19 Bicarbonate: 23.20 ppm PH: 7.40 Using the water with this water profile, I am wondering if there...

Okay thanks. I always transfer to secondary. I have another batch right beside it that has none of this and like I said, never seen this before. Both have the same yeast, which is what I use 75% of the time, which is US-05

Hey all, So I've never had this happen before and I'm not sure what's going on. I transfered to the secondary, added the dry hops a few days later and this is happening. Any idea as to what's going on???

Awesome thanks guys! I do have access to White Labs yeast, a different local retailer sells it. I'll check to see if they have it in stock. Brewing this weekend so it'll either be US-05 or the White Labs. And yeah my bad on the US-06, I meant WB-06. Thanks again all! I'll let you know how...

That's weird about the Yeast because the other forum site I'm on, the person suggested and noted that the yeast will be the "big Show": 3068 for German US-06 for American *** Now I'm doing some reading and it seems as though the US-06 will give off clove flavour. That's not what I'm looking...

Yeah thanks, I actually got similar recomendations from another site too. My new recipe calls for the following. .8kg Wheat Malt .25kg Honey Malt 1kg Pilsner 2row 23g EKG at 45mins 20g EKG at 20mins 2kg Wheat Dry Extract at 15mins Whirlfloc tablet at 15mins 12g EKG at 0mins Safabrew...

Looking for some input on this recipe I just came up with. I'm new with Partial Mash (this will be my 2nd attempt), but have been making extract for years. Any thoughts or input would be great. THANKS! American Wheat Partial Mash (5gal) ABV: 5.89% OG: 1.060 FG: 1.015 IBU: 14.5...

Alright will do! I can't afford this stuff right now, so I'm in no rush. Just really looking to see what I want to do. I want to do it right the first time, so I don't wish I had something better. I only need 2 kegs because I only ever have 2 brews on at a time and between my wife, me and...

I haven't done any research on a mini freezer. What do you mean by a "collar"? And why does one need one and the other not? And wouldn't the freezer "freeze" the lines and the beer?

Hey guys, I'm looking to get a mini fridge to make my own kegorator. Will this fridge fit 2 kegs for a double tap kegorator? I found one cheap, but want to make sure it'll be the right size...

Yeah my last IPA recipe I actually had those three hops in it, which are actually my 3 most commonly used hops along with Cascade. Was awesome! Just like playing around and seeing the different flavour profiles I can get. My next step is Partial Mash and I also am looking to start kegging...

So is the 2 Row that I added, really not doing anything for this brew? I'm bottling this weekend, but it will be good to know moving forward. Thanks

Have you already posted the recipe? If not do you mind sharing?

I would agree here. What i'm shooting for with mine is simply for the Pineapple juice to compliment the hops and possible enhance them ever so slightly. We'll see how it turns out, currently fermenting, stay tuned.

When I'm making up my recipe and looking at bitterness, I can only assume that the pineapple juice will bring the bitterness down. Any suggestions here, as my software doesn't account for the pineapple juice.

Awesome, maybe that's what I'll try then, that being the flame-out. Might change up the hops too, but I want to just do a bit more research on the intensity of the flavours, as I've used all of these hops before but want to make sure I pick the best to match with the pineapple. This is my...

Okay so I'm confused... I'm trying to figure out this Pineapple IPA, but there really seems to be mixed reviews as to when to throw the pineapple in. 1) End of boil or 2) Secondary (after fermentation) Will both work out? How much should I throw in to a 5 gal recipe? I plan to just brew a...

I believe it's about 170g of corn sugar (if I remember correctly), which ends up being about 3/4 cup. The good news is, more of them seem to be carbonating, so this batch, unlike all my other batches, just seems to be taking much more time to carbonate. I am though in the process of...

I've never heard of FWH (first wart hopping) I assume? What is that exactly? I have done dry hopping most times with my IPA's and I whirlpooled once. This one didn't call for it, but is something easily added. Would you recommend adding more hops or taking out some late boil hops and using...

What are your thoughts on this recipe. I found it online, sounded pretty good to me, but I have made some adjustments. Karma Citra IPA 6gal, ABV 6.58%, IBU 42.3, Color 8.7 SRM OG: 1.06 FG: 1.01 Steep .4kg Crystal Malt 10L .5kg Pale Malt (2 Row) US Boil .5kg Corn Sugar...
