    White Claw Experiment - Strange Numbers

    A tsp of fermaid for every two gallons will fix attenuation problems with sugar water. Trust me. I’ve locked in this recipe

    Sparkling "Hard" water recipe

    I’ve nailed this recipe. Super simple. Cheap. My wife loves it. Much better price than 1.50$+ a can. 4 gallons for under ten bucks.

    channeling? new manifold?

    I guess i just thought my eff would improve some if i could reduce the channeling, maybe average high 80s on all my beers regardless of the grain bill. Im happy with what i get, but always looking for ways to tweak my rig or adjust my technique.

    channeling? new manifold?

    Just noticed at the end of the sparge that as the water sank beneath the grain bed the water was running to the sides of the cooler. Mashing in a 60qt igloo tun with a cpvc manifold in the bottom with about a 1/2" perimeter around the outside of the manifold. Should i reduce the size of my...

    Max time in Primary?

    agree with most above, and currently for me and my brewery, 4 weeks in the primary is a minimum time before I do anything to the beer, including dry hopping, which is now also done in primary, hands down since I went to a minimum of 4 weeks in primary my beer has improved noticeably and have...

    Do any of you think about brewing more than you should?

    I get grief from my SWMBO for not coming to bed because im staying up "playing with my beer stuff." Gotta give her some props though, I work out of time about half the month, and shes a good sport about what she calls "checking on my closet children" while im out of town, her usual response...

    Naming Beer

    yah i know im that guy who awakens a two year dead thread but oh well. Heres the answer to this looming dilemma. If you formulate the recipe, not just "tweak" it you name it, if not give a nod and keep the name the same as the person you got it from called it. I just dont see how you if you...

    The Cost of Brewing

    jdley just get a couple of really long hoses and run them into than out of your house, thats what i would do honestly, or just bring your wort outside especially since its cooling down now this time of year. i personally cant stand to wait on an ice bath for my wort to cool, just takes to long...

    The Cost of Brewing

    dont know how i lived without my wort chiller. cost me around 70$ to make but i made mine with fifty feet of 3/8inch copper and it will cool 4.5 gallons of boiling wort to 70F in around ten minutes depending on the ground water temp. if you have a few extra bucks this is the best money i have...

    Should I expect the worse?

    i only have problems when i pitch on a cake and its a pretty big beer. i did not pitch on a cake this time but ive also never brewed this big of a beer. im already out of town so it doesnt matter at this point just a matter of whether or not SWMBO calls me pissed off about beer all over the...

    Should I expect the worse?

    Brewed an IIPA around 20 hrs ago and currently the airlock is bubbling at a nice steady pace but not rapid by any means, I have to go out of town today for six days and am wondering if I should attach an blowoff tube? I pitched a 1/3 gallon (1046 OG) starter of Wyeast 1056 that I let get going...
