Hello everyone, for many years I was a BIAB brewer and I enjoyed it. I learned a lot and collected a bunch of stuff and even more knowledge about the process. Once I had kids I slowed down and eventually stopped and sold my stuff. I’d like to get back into it, but I really don’t have the...

As much as I love having a DIPA or two the doctor said my intake is driving up my triglycerides too much. Rather than quitting drinking or having a heart attack, I'm hoping to modify my methods to reduce my final gravity so that I can keep having fun brewing without dying. I have a go to...

I went to check on an IPA that I've had on gas for a week today and found that nothing was coming out of the tap. I tried the following but it still doesn't work: Blew gas through the out tube to try to clear Removed dip tube and made sure it was clear. Poppit was not jammed. Made sure the...

Hello I plan on brewing an oatmeal stout tomorrow and I've been playing with my water chemistry trying to match the black balanced profile. I can't seem to get close to the bicarbonate using baking soda without the cell turning red and I can't figure out why it's happening. Sodium is over...

Im a BIAB brewer with about 15 brews under my belt and I'm not 100% certain wether or not flaked oats contributes to final gravity/abv... I know it increases OG simply because it's in there, but I'm not sure how to account for it if it doesn't impact FG. Do I disregard the effect of the oats on...

Hello, I'm attempting to do my first water adjustments on my next brew. I'm using Bru'n water, which I think I've got a hang of after tinkering for quite a while. However, I do not know what number I should use for my water pH when using distilled water. I've read around and it seems...

Hello everyone, I've been searching around to find an answer to this easy question but I didn't see one. I'm still relatively new and most recipes I've used have been pulled directly from beer smith. I'm trying to input my ingredients from a recipe that had 60% efficiency. My efficiency hovers...

I'm in need of advice... In late August I brewed an imperial stout. I let it sit in the primary for two weeks before moving it to the keg for secondary. The keg in question was an old 5 gallon corny with pin lock posts. I actually bought three at the time. Since I only use ball lock I ordered...

Hello, I made my first batch of graff last night using Brandon o's recipe and I have concerns about the health of my yeast. According to the recipe you can cool the small amount of wort using the apple juice. I did so and figured everything was cool enough, I poured a sample into my graduated...

I'm going to be brewing for the second time tomorrow. I found a recipe online that Ive been trying to scale to 3 gallons, but the scaled amounts seem to come out wonky. This is especially true of the dry hop additions. The recipe is at the link below...

Hello, I'm going to be kegging for the first time and decided I'd like to use threaded dispensers on my regulator instead of the barbs on my tap rite t752hp. I am wondering if I can switch out the barbs without causing a disaster. If the answer is yes, a link to the exact products I need...
