I'm brewing a German Pils and going for a crisp hoppy finish, so I am trying to match the "Yellow Dry" profile in Beersmith, Ca 50, Mg 10, Na 5, SO4 105, Cl 45, HCO3 0. However, my home water is pretty far off from this: Ca 35, Mg 9 Na 69, SO4 22, Cl 83, HCO3 91. With salt additions of gypsum...

I recently bought a used bayou classic banjo cooker and tried it out for the first time today. It didn't go well. It would not stay lit and the flame never seemed to come out of all the holes on the burner, but only in small sections. If I hold a lighter on it, that area will ignite, but only...

Not sure what I am supposed to do with this lid. Can anyone tell me how you would release the pressure with this type of lid? Do I need...

I picked up a used standing freezer to convert to a keezer. It was unused for several years but the previous owner swore it was in good working condition. I brought it home, plugged it in and it fired right up, but started putting off a terrible smell. Like burnt hair and sewage. I'm hoping this...
