I put frozen fruit(blackberry, raspberry and blueberry medley) in the fermenter and I assume some wild yeast got in from the fruit. I now have a fruited sour. Definitely a film on the top and to me it does not look like yeast rafts. Let me know your thoughts, please.

I have brewed many beers but this is a first. This is only the 2nd beer I have kegged. I poured my first one and the beer smells like grain. It tastes fine. Rye Pale Ale The only thing that I can think would have caused this was how much I squeezed the BIAB bag. I squeezed it several times...

I have built my keezer. I cannot accurately dial in the temp with just the freezer dial alone. I do have a temp controller that I can add. Should I leave the freezer temp dial as close to the desired temp I want when hooking up the temp controller or should I just crank it freezer dial and...

Pardon me since I am a noob to Beersmith and BIAB. I have been tinkering with this for a good part of the day and cannot get anything to match. Here is the problem that I am having: I use Beersmith and this was my second BIAB. My OGs are off by alot IMO on 5.5 gallon batches. This last batch...

First post!! I am new to BIAB. At what point should I test the mash ph? How much lactic acid for a 5 gallon batch? Per my city water report, my water is 8.33 ph. I suspect this to be an issue when I get to mash. Thanks! David
