I hate to revive a 6 month old thread but wish I had found this yesterday. I have been building up a bank of about 9 different strains using the Iso alchohol freezing method glycerine storage solution using ~5ml slurry to 10ml glycerine solution. I have finally decided to start using one of...

Thank you everyone for the replies. We made it to CT last night. I probably should have been more specific with the location. We are staying in Derby (Valley area). Friends have also suggested to try Bad Sons in Derby and THC for a selection of beers. The way it looks, we will be going to...

In February, we will be heading up to SW CT for about a week so my wife could see her family and kids can play in the snow. We haven't lived in CT since 2007 and at that time, it was really just a lot of local bars. I'm hoping for a few suggestions of breweries to visit. We will be in CT and MA...

7.5 NEIPA 7.5 Taddy Porter Clone/S'mores Porter 11,125

We live in FL and my wife had to travel to San Francisco on business last week. Having never sampled this highly coveted beer, I asked her to try and locate a few bottles. I even brought up RR's distribution list and found locations near where should would be on Google Maps. Through some of her...

I had a yeast cake of 1968 ready and wanted to do a Taddy/Brown Porter, which will be split and half will be made into a S'mores Brown. I racked the wort onto the yeast cake yesterday but in thinking about this now, I'm wondering how this will actually turn out being I used this yeast instead of...

Makes sense. Last question (hopefully). I always use Campden for both mash and sparge water due to the high chlorine/chloramine in our municipal water. I would think that would also add some calcium, wouldn't it? If so, should that also be added to the boil and should the increase in calcium be...

AJ - that stumps me. Post-boil (for the water, not post-mash/wort boil), I believe the calcium came back at about 25 PPM. I'm guessing that would be in the decanted water and not including the sediment. If so, I have the desired calcium @ 100, the 25 would carry from the boiled water, I'm adding...

Thank you all for the help! To make sure I have this correct; take my total water needed for the entire batch, say <20 gallons, Bring to a hard boil, boil for 10 minutes (stay on the safe side) Kill the heat and cover. Wait until the water has cleared and siphon off (cleared) water leaving...

Nevermind - I just realized I missed part of the inputs in the formula. The only static value was the 3.05, and essentially the ending HCO3. My final questions then would be - how long should I boil and does the volume have any impact on the time? I know for smaller batches, you have more...

Thank you, this helps a lot and I have you and Martin responding in the same thread - even better! Just need AJ now. I'm a little confused though. How do Bicarbonate and calcium correlate? You mention that I can reduce bicarb to only about 70-80 ppm but you used my calcium value (75.8) in the...

It may be how I worded that sentence, so I may need to clarify. I first opened your program over a year ago and was blown away by the options. I'm an analyst by profession and work with advanced scripting in reports all day. Even with that, the program looked to overwhelming. Since I've taken...

My preference is the use Phosphoric Acid, the problem is with Amazon, I can't get the high-concentration type for 2 days minimum (no same-day options available) and my HBS only carries the 10%-concentration type. Considering I would need about 5oz total, it isn't cost effective to go that route...

I’ve finally decided to start treating my water for a NEIPA I’m brewing tomorrow. I’ve spent nearly the entire day studying the Bru’n Water Calc, toying with the cells, reading all of the tips, etc. Being I cannot see how the values are being calculated or get a reference for the inputs/outputs...

1. You will find mixed feelings about transferring to secondary. Most of us run the entire fementation schedule in the same vessel. I for one only ferment in buckets (have about 14 just for brewing, got a deal through a baker). As fermentation starts, you will create a later of CO2, which will...

USA - the color doesn't matter. Whichever it is, it will match the smoker.
