    EKG and Idaho 7 for a Pale ale?

    Hi squad, I have a pound of Idaho 7 whole cone hops and a half a pound of EKG pellets in my inventory. I’m looking to do a pale ale but I’ve never used this combo of hops before.

    Matching yeast temp to wort temp

    During my most recent all grain batch I hydrated a couple of dry yeast packs in some warm water. Afterwards it dawned on me that I was not anywhere close to matching the temperature of my yeast and wort. The yeast would have been around 80 degrees and my wort temp at the time was 50 degrees for...

    Using outside water supply

    I brew in my garage and I don't have a sink in here. I've been reading a lot about NOT using garden hoses for kettle water due to potential off flavors. I know I could buy a potable water hose for RV's etc but I have a lot of brew buckets lying around. Can't I just disconnect my garden hose and...

    Should I add Lactic to all my brewing water?

    Here's a question for everyone. I'm doing my first all grain batch in a few weeks. I have my water report and have been doing as much research as possible. I'm not too interested in adding salts and adjusting my minerals just yet. It appears that all of those are within normal brewing ranges...

    Check out this water report

    I'm transitioning to all grain for my next batch and I've gathered this information from my water report: Starting Water (ppm): Ca: 90 Mg: 25 Na: 60 Cl: ? SO4: 77 HCO3: 196 Chloride is completely unknown. I couldn't find it anywhere. What I've been seeing is that this should make...

In pounds it will be 3 lbs of oats, 3 lbs of torrified wheat and 6 pounds of 6 row. The 12 total pounds will be placed in a large grain bag and I'm going for 60 minutes...

    Fridge shelves are different temps. Any Ideas???

    So I got a fun one. I brew 20 gallons at a time and ferment in a converted temp controlled freezer containing four 6.5 gal. plastic carboys. I keep 2 on the top shelf and 2 on the bottom shelf, which is the only way that they'll fit in there. I've been noticing that the 2 carboys on the top...
