Ok, thanks everyone. Interesting discussion. I am going to try and get RO but I am not going to stress if I can't find it.

I have never really played with water chemistry before and figured I would try with a Czech Pils I am going to make since it seems pretty simple. The recipe calls for adding 5g of CaCl2 to the RO water. My question is if I cannot find RO water would it make much of a difference if I use...

I just added on of the kits to my cart and it is only giving a 10% discount. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

In!

About a week and a half ago I bottled my first fruit beer. It is a raspberry wheat. Since this was my first time adding fruit, I was slightly concerned about infection especially since I chose not to pasteurize. I had them carbing in our bedroom since it happens to be the warmest room in the...

I rinse right after I pour out the beer and then starsan right before bottling. No need to use the dishwasher after you use starsan. The only time I ever clean with PBW is to de-label or if the bottles came from somewhere else.

Possibly could just be the circulation of air in your kegerator. The beer sitting in your tap and lines may be slightly warmer than what is in your keg resulting in foam in your first pour. You could always add a small fan like some people on here do in order to circulate the cold air. I have...

Thanks for the advice! I will just break it and pitch my starter.

Hey everyone, I have been building up to all grain the last couple months, gathering equipment, knowledge, etc. so my much anticipated first AG brew day will be this weekend! I am also planning on doing a starter for the first time with my Wyeast 1010 smack pack. My question on that is...

Thanks Ivan. Not worried about cosmetics at all, just want funtionality. I will just go with it. Next time I get a chance I will also pick up some ph strips.

I mixed up a batch of PBW in it before and rinsed it out but maybe it was not good enough. I will rinse everything real good and try making up another batch.

I just picked up a 5 gallon homer bucket and lid from home depot to use for storing a batch of starsan just to have it ready on demand. I mixed it up the other day and noticed today that it is completely clouded up today. I know these homer buckets are not food grade but thought it would be ok...

Not really a big deal if that's all you have in a pinch. Use a priming calculator though because the weights are a little different in table sugar versus corn sugar.

After doing a lot of research on different kettles, I plan on ordering the 15 gallon 2 port kettle from Spike in the next week or so. Glad I dragged my feet on this and will get the upgrade in welds. After exhaustively looking at other stuff (almost to an annoyance) this seems to be the best...
