I have started use a pH meter when brewing, and I had an issue brewing yesterday. Some background, I use a Hanna 98128 meter that is stored properly and have no problem calibrating. I also have Bru n' Water to use and a report from Wards. When I started yesterday and had the meter calibrated...

Saturday I made two 5g batches of cider and the one on left has s05 and the one on the right has wlp 775. That's the only difference, is it caused by the yeast?

Just started kegging last week, so please bare with me. I know I need to have a "method" to clean my beer lines and I am considering something like this (http://www.homebrewfinds.com/2012/11/recirculating-draft-line-cleaning-build.html), but I keep reading about ball lock this, ball lock that...

Shank measures just under 7/8". Do I want any wiggle room i.e. 1" or leave it snug like it will be with 7/8"

I have a 2L flask now. Do I need one larger than that or can I use this one as long as I pour off the wort after cold crashing?

Yes, I have a wilser bag that I won't be using anymore and I want to give to someone. The thing is that it will only fit a Bayou Classic 44 qt kettle. I also have an extra hop bag that I will send out as well. I can tell you first hand that these bags are damn good and Mike stands behind them...

I'm still pretty much a noob to this whole BIAB thing but I have read a chit load of the threads here trying to become better at my brewing and it finally paid off today. I brewed the OB 10 Fidy clone recipe and I got 75% efficiency and a 1.100 on 1.102 Thanks to all of you for posting your...

I want to make a starter and was going to use White Labs California Ale WLP001. When I go to yeastcalc it asks for the production date, all I can find on the vial is a "Best by date" of 8-24-13. This isn't the date I want to use is it? And if not how can I find out the right date?

I am about to try my hand at making a starter and I have a question. I am going to make a LH Milk Stout clone from AHS and they recommend to double pitch my yeast. Do I need to do this if I make a starter? I planned on using White Labs WLP001. tia, g
