Hey All! Finished brewing my second AG yesterday. A SMaSH with Maris Otter, Cascade hops and using US-05. I am using Brewtarget software for my recipes. For my brewhouse settings I did an evaporation test (plain water) and found 2.945 qt/hr. My batch size is 1.25 gallons, target pre-boil size...

I was wondering that if you have too hard of a boil will it effect the SRM.

Alright, I don't know if I am doing this to soon, but WTH. I just finished bottling my second batch and it is a extract kit, my first (turned out and tastes very good!) was an extract w/specialty grain. Now I am jumping right into AG and it is not a kit...am I going to fast? Anyway, I...

Hey all, total noob, first time brewer here. I have searched for info on temperature while fermenting. My concern is that living in Florida the temperature in my house during the summer can reach 77 degrees with the a/c working hard. At night the temp is set at 69 degrees. Of course I am...

I've been lurking here for a few days after joining last week. I am a complete noob to home brewing and ready to jump in with both feet. After considering the size setup to go with, I decided on a 1 gallon setup. I ordered the Go-Pro 1 gallon setup from Northern Brewer with the Chinook IPA Kit...
