I was just curious what tool everyone uses to scrub their pots? I have used brand new sponges but I that is becoming costly. I can't bring myself to use them a second time.

My IPAs have been all over the place with my constant changing of equipment. I've gotten to the point where I put almost nothing in the boil... Maybe. . 3 oz or so no hop basket, and dry hop only for the best flavor. I have still had more bitterness than I wish to have. I recently brewed a...

I just bought a new pot and wanted to try my hand at BIAB since my 3v system is a pain to assemble and disassemble every brew day. (small condo) My question is how do you calculate the grain Absorption to figure out how much total water is needed so that when you lift the bag you have proper...

Does anyone use them to get rid of tough to get residue in boil kettle post brew day? I'm wiery of what it might leave behind. I use one step cleaner and a normal sponge and it just doesn't get it as clean as id like

So I screwed up. I have been having trying to balance my iPA's for a while now. First I wasnt getting enough bitterness from hops due to muslin bags under-isomerizing my hops then I was getting too bitter iPA's once I was throwing them in loose. So I've been putting them later and later in the...

I just bought a beautiful blichman riptide pump. The manual says that the head works 360 degrees but works best if the output is to the right or strait up. I tested it with the output facing down because that would be the most convenient with my setup and it did not work at all. What orientation...

Since ive been brewing with my Eherms system I've been faced with the difficult decision of which Tempurature reading I should trust in my MLT. I have calibrated all of my probes and thermometers to make sure they read the same. (they do) I have the temp probe in a 1/2 T fitting in my sparge...

I'm looking to try another NEIPA next week. I was wondering if I should vorloff it considering we are adding lots of oats and looking for haziness rather than clarity?

Anyone get results like this before? My first time being able to track to the spreadsheet.

So my fermentation chamber went down months ago and I finally got a new one and brewed my first batch of pumpkin beer for the fall today. As I was cleaning up I saw that the threads of the elbow on my whirlpool ball valve had nasty black mold in them. It wasn't a lot but enough to make me mad...

Is there a way to have the hydrometer continuously send data points to the sheet? Mine only seems to send the data that I send manually by putting in my email address into the "post a comment" section

I have a 3v EHERMS system with several ball lock fittings. It would take a long long time to disassemble and clean them all with the chance of leaks putting them back together. Do you all do this or do you more or less run cleaner through the system after your done?

Is anyone in the Philadelphia PA area interested in trading a ball lock (you) for a pin lock (me) keg? It's a black sheep for me. Always have to change my connections back and forth and it's a pain.

If anyone has one for sale let me know!

So I've had this fermenter for about a year and a half now and I mostly make IPAs so no secondary for me. I can't seem to come up with a very gouda solution for kegging from it without getting trub in through the bottling port since it always settles on the conical. I thought about auto...

So I've been upgrading my equipment like crazy lately and fine tuning my brewing process with my EHerms build so on my last brew day my mash temp was a bit higher than I expected. it held steady at 157. I knew this was high but I didn't realize that it was going to be so high that I would have...

Can someone explain the theory behind why this isn't working. I have a 240v 5500w element that I use with my control box but I want to step it down to 120v so I can plug it into the wall and brew indoors. When I hook this up the fuse in the built in gfci blows every time. The black cable is...

I'm making an American Ipa and I have 10lb of malts for the mash. I have a ton of Dextrose sitting around and wanted to add two pounds to the boil to boost the ABV. My question is. is this too much? Will it effect the flavor at this point?
