I've been searching for how one may label or otherwise name a Bru'n Water report. I cannot seem to find how this is accomplished. I would really like to identify these reports when they are printed off. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Question guys. For those of you using an electric RIM for mashing, do you have difficultly achieving full attenuation of your worts? I have a PID direct fired gas system and I suspect I may be denaturing my wort during mashing. I'm considering building an electric RIM tube to put inline...

Recently upgraded to v5.5 and continue to be impressed with this software. But must admit I've discovered I may not know how to handle the grain color selection on the Grain Bill input page. I built up a Belgian Tripel and brewed it this weekend. Totally blew it with my pH. Targeted 5.32 and...

I've been using this software for years and its great. I recently updated to v5.5 and have decided to utilize calcium chloride as a liquid as supported by this version. I have made a solution of 15.4% and added it to a completed package developed for a tripel on the Water Adjustment page. I...

Had some of these during a recent trip to Alaska. Made by the Denali Brewing company. Nice Amber ale, very smooth. I've looked around for a clone recipe but found nothing. Has anyone seen any info on this brew? Cheers...

I've been using gelatin for fining in my beers for years. It's a great process for clearing beer simply and cheaply. I am a strong advocate of the process. However, I have observed that doing so results in a small amount of gel residue on the inside of the bottle. I might add it took awhile...

I'm looking to replace an older Omega temp controller in my fridge temp management system. The Omega controls both heating and cooling in a seamless manor without a dreaded dead zone. It appears the Auber SLY-4342 will do the same but I cannot tell for certain reading their specs. Do any of...

I've been brewing for a number of years and feel I know my way around the kettle.. somewhat :). However, when making light ales such as Belgian Whites, Blue Moon clones, etc. I've never had the color come out truly white, like Blue Moon. The beers are good and hit their numbers but all of...

I've been brewing for years and have made many starters but I've encountered a bit of a mystery. This week I made a Belgian Golden Ale starter with WPL570. As usual I used my stir plate to ferment the batch. Two days absolutely no krausen or evidence of foam. Never had this before so I...

I've read where many of you add the sugars for a given recipe directly to the fermentation in small doses spread out over several days. Apparently this is helpful for the yeast and they can be more successful in attaining the low FG desired. Are there any articles or posts that cover this in...

The recipe I'm looking at shows a OG of 1.077 and a FG of 1.009. If I calculate the attenuation from these numbers I get 88%. Yet the yeast specified is rated at 70%. That suggest to me that there's no way for that yeast to ferment to 1.009 even if everything is perfect. I assume there's...

I just finished making my first Strong Dark Belgian and all went well except for how I calculated my OG. The candi syrup goes in the boil at the end so I assume you don't add the points for fermentables in the grain bill for understanding the pre boil gravity? And I also assume when you do...

I've been brewing for a number of years using the 5.2 buffer. Never an issue of which I was aware... but I thought I'd attempt to adjust the pH using Bru'n Water calculations and forego the 5.2 Curious to see if I could tell a difference. I've been adjusting water minerals for some time...

Was in Quebec this past weekend and had a brew by Mill Street Brewery which was fantastic. Unfortunately they don't market in the USA. The brew was named "Stock Ale" and was similar to the Centennial Blonde (my longtime favorite) but smoother, more malty, less hoppy. Anyone familiar with...

I've been brewing for several years and have hit my numbers on the vast majority of my efforts. All the beer has been good and follows the comments for the recipe as described by others except for color. I've noticed virtually all of my brews have been darker than expected or darker than what...

I've been using the "standard" red and white spigots (some are blue) in my bottling buckets for both my wine and beer efforts. I've never really known how to effectively clean these things so I replace them periodically. Many (30 - 40%) of the new replacements leak at various places within...

I've been making wine mostly from kits for several years. The majority have been reds but many whites from the same kit company's as well. Our whites always turn out very good. Their taste and aroma are typical of the styles and basically what has been expected. The reds, unfortunately not...

Okay, so I've been tweaking my new hybrid RIM system and have been getting much higher Brewhouse Efficiencies which are busting my OG targets. I'm been attempting to adjust my calculations to accommodate the new rig but I'm running into puzzling numbers. I have a grain bill which has an...

I've been attempting to download and use the USA version of this software, Bru'n Water. I get 55 pages of stuff but I can't seem to enter any info or get anything to work. It's as though the package is just a picture of 55 pages without any functionality. I'm assuming I've missed the...

I'm looking for a good recipe of a german alt beer. Can someone tell me what this style may be listed under in the forum recipe database? Thanks...
