    Getting the same flavor from batch to batch

    You guys are great and very receptive to all of the noobness going on in my posts! I know my little brewing room was about 68-70F room temperature and I bet that made the yeast unhappy. Should I continue using the Earth 2O spring water? It doesn't seem to be much of a problem anymore...

    Getting the same flavor from batch to batch

    I use Earth2O Natural Spring Water in every brew. I typically do not create a starter for my liquid yeast, just pitch in full when it is time. I also just remembered that my friend's homebrew (he lives about 2 miles away) had the very same taste, it was just more subtle in his brew. The only...

    Getting the same flavor from batch to batch

    The temp of the mini mash (or steeping) has been around 180F for 30 minutes or so. I have gotten this taste with my first couple of brews that were extract only. I do not have the means to do a pH test right now but I can tell you that I was using cheap Coopers/Muntons but upgraded to US-05 and...

    Getting the same flavor from batch to batch

    I'm seven homebrews into my brewing life and I can't seem to shake a certain flavor. For about three brews I was using a Mr Beer kit and pretty cheap packet dry yeast. As I grew more and more frustrated (and the beers aged and maintained that same flavor) I went out and bought a carboy and...

    Next Batch Yeast/Supplemental Hops Question

    I had some great luck finding Citra hops and I'm almost thinking about doing a SMaSH with these since they sound so good but possibly using the rest of the hops to dry hop. Any recommendations with the Cascade/Amarillo? Thanks a lot you guys!

    Next Batch Yeast/Supplemental Hops Question

    I'm starting my 4th home brew with a whole new setup and I'm looking to start changing things around. For this brew I'm going to stop using cheap yeast and move over to White Labs California Ale or US-05. I also have some leftover Amarillo and Cascade hops and I'm looking to brew a potent IPA...

    Lots of yeast post-bottling

    Hi folks, I'm new here. I just bottled my fourth brew and I'm having sinking feelings about the turnout. I use a cheap little Mr Beer plastic fermenter with a tap, as I like how manageable two gallons can be. For this batch I transferred my post-fermentation beer to another fermenter for about...
