I'm slowly finishing acquiring my parts for what will be come an electric single vessel biab build. Im using an 80 qt concord kettle 5500W SS 240V element Chugger pump that will pump to top of lid where there will be a T with a temp probe, and through the lid into a mash recirculation...

Ill have to give the SO5 a try. Also fixed my previous statement/quote, it should have said can't boil out the chloramines

My local water company now uses chloramines to purify, which you can't boil out or get rid of with a charcoal filter. My grocery store sells reverse osmosis water with some trace minerals added. I've been using that (but my tart stout used it to so I think its the yeast esters not my water)...

Inspired by this forum I started my first ever brew batch of cider 2 weeks ago. Stumbling into the wine forum by accident I see this thread on hard lemonade which I love. So before bottling my first batch I'm venturing off into a hard lemonade trial :) The ladies of our group like sweet...

I'm on day three bubbling away, very excited to taste my first ever home brew project. Question - I was hoping for around 6 % following this recipe, but noticed my starting SG was 1.047 and OP was around 1.050. Would it hurt to add some sugar as I'm only on day 3 (small amt of boiled water...
