I have one of the old 5 gal galvanized wash tubs that I use. Set the tank in and pour 2 or 3 gals of water in, the water doesn't have to be hot. Works great.

thanks for the quick answer. Could you answer another question? What is Aromatic malt. I see some recipes call for it but do not see listed either?

I need a substitute for .25lb of Dark Chrystal 135-165L for King Brians ESB. I have plenty of 10L and 60L. Can I, for instance, double the amount of 60L and add some 10L? It's obvious that I am fairly new at this. My LHBS doesn't carry and checking with catalogs from NB and BW they don't...

There we go. I thought that might be the case. It looks like either method will work. 3.8 Alpha divided by 5 x 6.5oz = 4.94. Thanks for the help.

That doesn't look right. Do you mean that I need 1/3 more hops? The original called for .5oz.

I have a recipe that I want to make. It calls for .5oz of hops with a 5% Alpha rating. The hops that I have are 3.8% Alphas. Can someone tell me how to make the conversion to add the proper amount of hops? I'm thinking dividing 3.8 by five and multiplying qty until I hit 5%, am I correct? Thanks

I misread the recipe on my last brew, an ESB. I added one tsp of irish moss at 10 min instead of 1/4 tsp. What can I expect from this mistake? Thanks

Can anyone give me the how to do and what to expect? Thanks

Thanks for everybodys help with this. The hydrometer sample was clear and had a beer odor. It tasted like beer only flat. Alcohol was noticable but not overpowering and no off tastes. Definantly not sweet but not at all unpleasant. I bottled it using 5oz of corn sugar. So I guess in a month...

Do you know approximently what the mash temp would need to be to cause this?

I don't mean to belabor this but I really want to learn why. I mashed at 154 degs by my thermometer. I tested it in icewater and it was one degree (33) high. I followed the recipe and if figured correctly I got mid 70s efficiency. SG was 1.050. I batch sparge (154 deg) with two rinses (175...

So on the temperature. This is caused by a to low mash temp? I checked my thermometer in icewater, it read 33degs. That doesn't seem like much. I did not think to check it boiling. Is there any other thing that might be the cause?

So, if all the measurements were correct, does that mean I made a lite beer? I followed the recipe ingrediant list and added nothing extra.

Used no beano and no sign of an infection.

The sample was clear, light golden yellow. Alcohol was noticable but not overpowering. Tasted quite good actually.

I just bottled Bee Cave Haus Pale Ale that I brewed on 7-4. Left in primary, no secondary. I used Safeale-05 yeast. I fermented in the basement at 64 degs. The SG was 1.050. The FG today was 1.001. I have never had the FG go so low. I tested my hydrometer and it is right on. Is it unusual to...

Can someone explain bitterness ratio in simple terms? In doing a recipe, an ESB, Beersmith shows a bitterness ratio of .772%. I found my answer but I don't know how to delete this ?.

This my first try at making my own recipe 6lb 12oz Canadian 2-row 1lb 12oz 60L 10.4oz Wheat malt 4.8oz Roasted barley 1oz Styrian Golden@60min .05oz Styrian Golden@30min 1oz Styrian Golden@10min 1oz Styrian Golden@5min Yeast SO4 Trying for an ESB similar to Honkers Ale

53-12oz bottles and it tasted great. Now for the long wait. Oh wait, that means I have an empty fermenter. I know what I'm doing tommorrow.

I brewed Bee Cave Robust Porter on 6/9. The only change I made was to use Marris Otter instead of 2-row. My SG was 1.072 (estimated was 1.069) my FG today is 1.020(estimate is 1.018) same as when I measured two weeks ago. I fermented at a steady 64deg. Yeast was SO4. My FGs are usualy aroung...
