I just bottled about 1/2 of a 13+ batch of hard seltzer. The pH was 4+ based on strips. I just received a pH meter and will calibrate it today/tomorrow to get a more precise reading. The plan is to order some citric acid or acid blend to adjust the pH down closer to 3.25-3.5. Is there a...

For you seltzer makers out there that use the Olive Nation extracts..... Would you mind sharing any specific flavors (or combos) and their addition rates that you like? I have purchased several flavors and am curious what others are doing.

I live in the Southeast and have zero space that can be committed to a fridge/freezer for temperature control. I just brewed a pilsner in anticipation of a cold snap that would allow me to get my garage down in the low 60s for a few days for a lager ferment. Sure enough brew day was 79 degF and...

I use many of the Kegland 500ml PET Bottles from Morebeer. I really like the light weight bottles and not having to break out the capper. Storage is a bit of a pain tho. Has anyone found any reasonably priced stackable plastic crates that these will work in? in the US....I see many options that...

First off...let me say I understand that in order to make a "true" lager you must use lager yeast etc etc. What I would like to do is make a beer that approaches the general flavor profile of the Pilsner Urquel type beers....as close as possible... with the equipment, ingredients, and...

I have been getting inconsistent carbonation since I started back brewing earlier this year. One batch of a light ale I made for my wife recently....US05 yeast fermented well, but hardly any of the bottles are carbonated to target. Most are not completely flat, but not carbonated to any...

A couple of weeks ago I read one of these threads and decided to give fermenting peppers a shot. I used some lids that I already had from some mycology experiments with .22 micron filters on them. My thought process at the time was that the CO2 would push the air out. Now I am second guessing...

I generally do BIAB 6 gallon batches and mash/boil the entire volume, however I have an old 15 gallon conical that I plan on using for hard seltzers. Turns out my wife and daughter (and their friends) really like them as a boat drink. My plan is to add @9 gallons of tap water treated with...

First attempt at Kombucha. Ordered a starter and began with a 1 gallon container. After some time...upped it to this 2+ gal container. pH has been stuck at about 4 for quite a while....my bad for a high starting pH I think...temps have been relatively low tho also....69-70 degF til recently. Now...

My first batch of beer in 15+ years was a mex lager grain recipe brewed BIAB and fermented with Lutra kveik yeast. I opted for a kit from Morebeer as I was ordering other things in bulk and it would be a while before I got all the ingredients together:: Here The brewing went great, the...

So back in the day....had the 15 gallon 3 tier/3 burner/pump/cc chiller/controlled everything run at brewing. Years ago before anything was available off the shelf. Everything was an automation project as much as a brewing project. Got completely burned out. I'm older and lazier now and have...
