Thanks for the replys, i had the hop additions so high on account of the recipe I used as a base was a pliny clone. I Think i will scale back a bit on the hops, keep the grain bill where its at. How about this: 60 min 1 oz Columbus ~ pellet 15.4 » 55.3 15 min 1oz Australian Galaxy ~...

I've put together a recipe for an ipa using mostly galaxy hops and a bit of coloumbs for bittering. Let me know how this sounds. I had to use the pound of DME on account of my 5 gallon tun getting maxed out otherwise. 11# Briess 2 Row Malt 1.5# Corn Sugar (Dextrose) 1#...

Rio grande and Candelaria brewer here.

So I was a fool and I had left my aluminum brewpot outside full of water for the last few months (Dieting had slowed my brewing down considerably) There appears to be little spikes of corrosion lining the bottom of the pot and they arent coming off with light scrubbing. I dont want to use...

Another question morkin, my wort took off with the lacto starter and looks nice, but at what temp did you ferment the us-05 at? I was thinking in the low 70s to keep the lacto chugging away.

Brewed this as my first AG batch and so far it tastes and smells amazing, after a week in the primary its at 1.017 i was a little low on the target OG i ended at 1.056. Not bad considering my mash temps werent quite hit.

belgian pale ale?

Its an old glass water serving jug I "borrowed" from a wedding party last year. It works pretty well, and no exposed threads so very easy to sanatize as well. Score!

Ive found that the brewzor beta app for android is very good, its still in beta so there are some bugs and its not the prettiest app ever but it works well enough and can import/export beerxml.

yeah I went out and bought a new better bottle for sours exclusivley. Gonna get a new siphon, I think ill keep using my bottling bucket as it is glass. Thanks for the replys.

At what temp should you keep the lacto starter after pitching the grains and water, im having a hard time keeping the temps up. Best I can muster is about 70.

I am prepared to embark on on a journey in wild/sour beers. I have heard in a few places to get a new fermentation vessel and a new spihon, but I was wondering if i need to get a new bottling bucket. If im sanitzing my equiptment every time is this really necessary? Ive been really good about my...

Thats an awesome resource. Thanks for making that!

I was wondering how bad my city's water is, I havent brewed all-grain yet as i just finished by MLT. I was told by a few people to not worry about water on the first brew but im always wanting to make the best beer i can. I ve been reading over how to brew by palmer and having a hard time...

Ive been meaning to do this, it seems like a great excercise.

Steel reserve. A favorite of the droves of alcholics in this state. Going to work the other morning saw a guy buying a 4 pack at 7:30 AM, rough stuff. Had a buddy who swore by the stuff. Terrible terrible stuff. I shiver thinking about it.

I fill my bottling bucket with the 5 gallons of star san i reuse for months at a time. Fill every bottle i have to the brim with star san and then put it back in the bottling bucket. Works well enough for me. Since I resue my star san its not too crazy uneconomical to fill them completely...

Thanks for the links, the wiring looks like it would literally take ten minutes to setup and saves 20 dollars. Not a bad deal at all. That might be my best route to go, seeing as how I want to upgrade to a refrigerated fermentation chamber in the next six months. I could get two of these for the...

Thanks for the quick reply. It does seem like the stc-1000 is a very good buy, but it seems like a lot more hassle with the wiring and all that. I was looking at a dual tempurate ranco, but that was running like 130 online. Would something like this work...

I am in the market for a temperature controller, and would be looking into getting a dual stage preferably as eventually i want to get a fridge to control more accuratley. My plan as of now would be to put the fermenter on my brick floor, which is capable of cooling down to 58 f and then using a...
