http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007XZAJ3I/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 Has anyone used this pump? It was cheap and i had a gift card for amazon so I bought it. It seems like it would be ideal for moving wort from the mash tun to the kettle since it is a weaker smaller pump.

SO my last couple batches I have been hitting very low efficiency. I am usualy .01 points lower on my SG/OG then my predicted @70% using beer smith. I have been able to hit my mash temps and my wort is very sweet to taste. But after my boils I still end up being low. I batch sparge and use a 12...

So here is my insanity. I want to make a brew with the OG approx 1.210. Like in back to the future the delorian needs 1.21jiggawatts (yes i know its actually gigawatts) to power the flux capacitor. I would think we are looking at a barleywine most likley but it would be awesome to make something...

The obvious answer is no. This is my process Mash at X temp for Y minutes Drain wort into kettle Add sparge water to tun and mix Drain wort into kettle. I ask because this is how i thought it was done but according to John Palmer when you mash, before you drain any wort, you add your sparge...

Hey guys, I just brewed a stout that i plan on adding powdered peanut butter to. I was just wondering what experience peolle have had with this as i am unsure if salted or unsalted will make a difference.

I brewed 10 gallons of Midwest Copper ale and plan on splitting it between two kegs. I am driving about three hours and wanted to know if it would be better to carb before i leave or just do the shake force carb when i get there. Im just worried the car ride will cause the beer to go flat too...
