I will be checking it this Sunday. Yes the Alkalinity is that high. They do not use acid adjustments. They have actually had quite a bit of build up of which i dont know if its Beerstone or hard water scale. I think that use a caustic and follow up with an Acid and it takes care of it. I also...
Wow! you guys are harsh. I see i will have to reconsider what and how i post ? for the future. As far as water treatment options goes. sometimes ya just have to work with what ya got.
"Lime softening" i was afraid that would be the answer only because i havent done that on a homebrewer level. Maybe ill just tell them they should only be brewing stouts and porters and forget the APA IPA:) ya right! Thank you
I do not wish to offend the brewery in ? They are attempting to better themselves and thats what matters. As far as lautering or crush problems they have a looked at the crush only. I am assuming it has to do with either the conversion or the lautering phase. Brewhouse efficiency will surly be...

Anyone who is a fan of fresh Oatmeal Raisin Cookies will appreciate this, i hope. I love to cook/bake and have been contemplating how to incorporate my love of homebrew into my love of Oatmeal Raisin cookies. So give this a try and i would love some feedback. I just used a nice malty brew like...
Well i have noticed that any and i mean any particles like hops or grain pieces are in that little drop it throws off the entire reading. It's to much of a pain in the ass to use because of that. But maybe i am doing something wrong? i just pull a little and chilled to desired temp and take a...
2 weeks in on an Oktoberfest. I am really anal about cleaning/sanitizing but hell i have never seen this before. This is my first lager. Any suggestions. i ferm at 48 and used 2206 bavarian lager.

Wondering if anyone has ever used a little Brown Malt (60L) in an APA. I am thinking something like under 5% just to add a little bit of a nutty flavor. Something like this Experimental batch 3 Gal.
