I based this Otter Creek Solstice, with some help from their brewer. Won't claim it to be a clone , but is a good beer. The crystal 120 was supposed to crystal 20 so it came out a bit darker. Pale Malt (2 Row) US Grain 4.750 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L Grain 4.000 oz...

I took this yeast from the carboy on the 11th of March. I swirled the yeast cake with some boiled and cooled water and dumped into sanitized jar, and put it in the fridge. I did not do any other rinsing of the yeast. It is WLP 007 Dry English. I was planning on making a small starter to get...

I am trying to figure out how much I volume I need to boil off to hit my desired OG. I believe the formula is (preboil gravity x preboil volume) / desired gravity = boil off volume if I have 6.5 gallons @ 1.056 and I want an OG of 1.060 do I? (1.056x6.5) / 1.06= 6.475 6.5-6.475=0.025...

I got some of those ph test strips because I read you should stop your run off of wort if the ph gets to 6.0 or above. I checked the mash ph and it was around 5 (as best as I could tell) At the end of the runoff the ph went down not up. Why?

Iron Hill Brewery They are opening on Monday the 20th. I am stoked, it's the first brewpub that's close to my home. Has anyone had their beers? How's the food? Do they offer an AHA discount?

I am gong to do another fly sparge and am trying to figure this out. If I have 10 lbs of grain and mash @ 1.25 quarts per lb that's 3.125 gallons for the mash I've read that you can estimate sparge volume at twice the mash volume so that's 6.25 gallons of sparge water I've also read you...

My brother got a nice equipment starter kit for Xmas. And a Muntons IPA kit for his first brew (pre hopped extract) . He emailed me and asked if he should substitute DME for the sugar that the recipe called for. I told him yes and also made these recomendations. did I steer him wrong? 1...

I am trying to create a recipipe using The Beer Recipator 2.2 What's the difference between, Sparge runoff & Boil volume:

I had to try it. After a week in the bottle I couldn't resist having a taste of my first all grain brew. The beer definitely needs more time to condition but it tasted pretty good considering. I noticed a slight green apple flavor, but I assume that will go away after a few weeks. The main...

MoreBeer | Vacuum Brew Kit I came across this and think it looks pretty slick. Though they don't have a lot of info about it. Any one seen any thing like this before?

I brewed my first all grain yesterday and wanted to say thanks for all the info I got reading the forums over the last couple months. I was a bit hesitant about trying all grain. but besides all the procedure and technique I learned from reading the forums. A few of the most important things I...

This is kind of long but I wanted to include as much info as possible. I brewed up a batch of Austin Home brew Newcastle clone mini mash kit yesterday. It went pretty well but I have a few questions. I made a mash tun out of a 5 gallon cooler by removing the spigot and just jamming a 3/4"...

I found some CPVC pipe and fittings while cleaning out the garage and I thought I'd convert my old bottling bucket into a mash tun. Does the manifold have to lay directly on the bottom of the bucket? If it's off the bottom an inch or two will it greatly effect the amount of wort I can run off...

I haven't done any all grain or even a mini mash yet but I've been thinking about it and had an idea. If you drilled a bunch of holes in the bottom of the cooler lid and then drilled a larger hole in the top to accept a hose. Kind of use the lid as a sprinkler head to sparge?
