Using the information posted from the cidery on pitching rates, I get 2.64 grams for a 5 gallon batch. 12g/hL=12g/22.7 gal. Anyone experiment with these rates?

I thought about 220V, but the stove is hardwired into a box, there isn't an outlet. I did my homework on how not to overload the system. I haven't had any issues since I pulled the cover off, but now I have exposed connections where the screws hold the plug to the element. Really wondering how...

I searched this forum a little bit and I couldn't find any info on the project I've started. In my attempt to avoid propane expense, and outdoor winter brewing, I attached 120V water heater elements to my brewpot and HLT. I use them in conjunction with my stove top elements to reduce brew...

We use two separate homebrew shops, so it could be an issue. A friend of ours tasted the spent grain and mentioned mine was sweeter. My assumption was that the sugars were extracted and left behind. Is double-milling the grains a bad idea?

I take my SG after I've cooled my beer and I temperature adjust it. I am set on fly sparging, I've decided to build a sprinkler manifold into the MT lid and use it to restrict flow. I'm not really worried about crush at this point but I will consider it if other steps don't improve the...

Brewed Saturday with a friend. We had similar mash schedules and we both hit and held our temperatures without trouble. His gravity was 4 pts over and mine was under by thirteen, biggest I've had in awhile. His sparge was over 40 minutes, he has a sprinkler in the top of his MT to regulate flow...

The rest of my process is standard. I aerate 15 seconds before pitching dry, rehydrated yeast between 65 and 80 degrees. My fermentation is not temp controlled but stays in the basement that rarely tops 70 even in the dead of summer. I keg, but recently found out i need to be bleeding the oxygen...

I've been a homebrewer for about 7 years now, all grain for 4. I had one or two really good years as an AG Brewer, but since then I have had difficulty making great beer. To me the biggest culprit is my inability to hit temperatures and get consistent extraction. I use BeerSmith 2.0 to calculate...
