I'm getting ready to brew a couple different fruit flavored wheat beers for spring time. I was curious if anyone has experience with Brewer's Orchard fruit puree? I have used Vintner's Harvest in the past, but Brewer's Orchard has some different flavors that I am interested in. I don't see many...
This is a kit from my LHBS. It lists the OG as 1.050 to 1.055.
Ive only ever brewed pre-made recipe kits. This is my first attempt at tracking efficiencies. Im looking at trying to make my first recipes in the coming months and I am trying to collect some of the data to put into online calculators.
I definitely need to work on that efficiency. This was my first attempt at mashing outside on a propane burner vs my induction burner that I use inside. I struggled to maintain steady mash temperatures. I have some reflectix insulation coming for my next batch.
My mash volume was measured from...
I brewed a partial mash recipes using BIAB method last weekend. I mashed all my grains and then added LME in the last 15 minutes of the boil.
I tried calculating my efficiency using Brewer's Friend (https://www.brewersfriend.com/brewhouse-efficiency/). I am coming up with 57.4% efficiency (not...
I had one of these that worked really well. It would blast anything out of a bottle.
Now that I have a retractable faucet it doesn't really work. When you push down on a bottle it just pulls the faucet hose out.

Vinters Harvest says the blackberry puree has an SG of 1.036 to 1.065. I wouldnt think this could raise SG of your beer this much.
I would be curious how people calculate the theoretical OG of adding puree. I recently added peach puree to a wheat beer and struggled with this as well. I tried to...
Do you have any pictures of how your wires come out the back of the fridge? I just bought the new Frigidaire version of the Tramontina fridge. My drain hole turns 90 degrees to the evaporation pan. Did you blow through the back of the fridge or just ream out the opening on the inside of the...
I just got a recipe from my LHBS which is slightly hoppy version of an old ale. My plan is to brew it and let it sit on some oak cubes for 6 months to drink next fall/winter. The OG for this beer is 1.075-1.080 and FG is 1.019-1.024. I have never bottled a beer with this high of a final gravity...
