    Belgian Blond Ale Revvy's Belgian Blonde (Leffe Clone)

    I've brewed a few Belgians with the abbaye dry yeast you mentioned for exactly the same reason, and each time felt it was every bit as good as the wlp530... just my 2 cents

    Sold Milwaukee mw102 ph meter $50 shipped lower 48

    Used once, never got into the rhythm of my brew day... electrode always stored properly since. However this unit is 6 yrs old and probably needs a new electrode, so price reduced to $50. Also have full bottles of the necessary calibration and storage solutions which you can have free if you...

    I'm no help there, I'm a BIAB-er.

    How bad will it be?

    Too bad I wasn't thinking then. I guess 4 or 5 grams of baking soda in the mash would've put me right in there. Now I'm not sure what I'd do. If I take a sample from the fermenter and get a ph value, what would you suggest doing?

    How bad will it be?

    too late for that as I just pressed on - its in the fermenter starting to bubble through the blowoff hose... Guess I'll just taste and learn...

    How bad will it be?

    Screwed up and probably spilled double the amount of lactic acid into my mash today brewing a 5.5gal witbier. I wanted it tart but not a sour... I'm guessing I might have dropped my pH to 4.8. didn't have a meter ready to check it. Just brewed it anyway, good conversion, hit 1.051. Any thoughts?

    10g Blichmann Boil Coil?

    The 10gal boilcoil will definitely work for you - it goes from mash to boil in a few minutes in my setup. I use a wilser bag and a brewhardware fb during the mash. For my hops I use a large stainless mesh basket. Works great.

    Belgian Dark Strong Ale Westvleteren 12 Clone - Multiple Award Winner

    Beer looks great but your woofers need re-coning!

    I think that unless you had an issue with your yeast, your attenuation issue is with your wort. I know mine was. Agree with others that if it tastes good, finish it. Mine tasted too sweet and the amylase enzyme dried it out enough.

    Leffe Clone attempt, any way to get FG down

    Check out my posts from Jan 17 in revvy’s thread. I had the same problem and a tsp of amylase enzyme took care of it.

    High Gravity Custom eBIAB System

    Absolutely! Mine has been wonky for at least a year now... I’m going to look for a good probe and cable

    Try straightening it out and see if your temp readouts on the PID stop jumping around
