    Critique my Ward Lab H20 results

    Just received my results back from WL's. Curious any and all critiques for what to add for a NEIPA profile. Purely guessing my source #'s, I added 2g of canning salt and 5g of Calcium Chloride in my last brew. Results were good. Somewhat muted hop flavor but aroma was there which make no sense...

    Can I throw together a grain bill with these leftovers?

    Lol didn't plan on trying to use it all. Just wanted to see if I could throw something together with some of it. Plenty of hops available for sure.

    Can I throw together a grain bill with these leftovers?

    I have a hodgepodge of leftover grains I'd like to use before they get too old. Can I throw together a Hazy NEIPA with this? I usually just follow an online recipe so no clue if any of these will achieve that style. If not, I'll make a run to my HBS. 5lbs of 2-Row 6lbs of Golden Promise .5lb of...

    NEIPA Distilled Water Build?

    Playing with Brunwater this morning and target profile for pale ale is 300ppm sulfate and 55ppm chloride. This sounds like the opposite of a 2 or 3:1 chloride to sulfate.... Confused

    NEIPA Distilled Water Build?

    Sorry if this has been asked before. I did a little searching but didn't see exactly what I was looking for... Are there any "simple" distilled water build by style calculators out there that will tell me exactly what to add for a NEIPA profile at XX gallons of water? I've tried to understand...

    BIAB city water profile

    Posted in the beginner section so please delete if not allowed. Received a report from my parish water department and curious on what its telling me. Currently reading the chapter in Palmer's book. Not a lot of variables to work with: Chloramine 3.1 ppm Arsenic 1.1 ppm Barium .045 ppm Dalapon...

    Finally received my water report from my parish. Not many familiar components to me.... Thoughts on this as a base or scrap it all together and start with distilled? Chloramine 3.1 ppm Arsenic 1.1 ppm Barium .045 ppm Dalapon 3.2 ppb Fluoride 0.7 ppm Nitrate-Nitrite 1.4 ppm Copper 0.2 ppm Lead 2...

    Thanks all! Assuming I try another BIAB and am off a little on OG, is there an equation on how much DME to use to bring it back up to the intended OG?

    Beginner Hitting a Brick Wall

    So every time I've dry hopped in the jar, I've purged across the hops in the jar and essentially "pressured up" the jar. When I open the ball valve, the hops violently shoot up into the conical. Kegs were filled with starsan and dumped out. Lid put back on and stored empty in kegerator. Next...

    Beginner Hitting a Brick Wall

    Awesome tips guys. Greatly appreciated! To answer a few questions: Extract kits were morebeer kits as well. Think I had oxidation and caramelizing malt issues in the first brews. Never used a secondary. Always fermented in the fermzilla, dry hopped in the collection jar on the bottom then...

    Makes sense! In the future, can I substitute some DME to raise that OG??

    Beginner Hitting a Brick Wall

    So I did take an OG reading after this last all grain. OG was supposed to be 1.062 and I came in around 1.04 from what I can remember. This last kit (HazeCraze) had 2 dry hop schedules; one on day 3 of fermentation and the other 3 days before packaging. I added the first round on day 4 and the...

    Hitting a wall with beer making... Just kegged my 4th batch of a morebeer IPA. First 3 batches were extract and last was BIAB all grain. All fermented in Fermzilla @ 68-70F. Left in primary for 3 weeks then keg conditioned for a week in kegerator. Water was spring the first 3 batches then used a...
