Say if I add 1.5 ml of 88% Lactic acid to my strike water. Then, pre boil I end up adding about 7 ml more of 88% Lactic acid, how much of that lactic acid flavor will carry over to the final product after it mixes with the mash and is boiled for 60 mins? I know the acid will survive the boil...

I've been focusing on kettle PH and post fermentation PH lately. Mainly with my massively hopped IPAs. So my question to those who like to keep track of kettle PH is...How are you all measuring your pre/post boil kettle PH? Should this be done at hot/warmer temps, or are you cooling it to room...

I've been brewing for about 13/14 years now and I have never experimented with cryo hop pellets before. I just picked up 2 oz each of cryo citra, cryo simcoe, and cryo idaho 7 from yakima chief. I plan to use these in my next NEIPA that I will be brewing soon. My question is, is 6oz of cryo hop...

I recently made a NEIPA that has developed a horrible flavor that I am blaming mostly on Sabro hops. It smells amazing in the glass and starts to taste good, but then turns into this sun tan lotion/soapy weird flavor on the back. I see a lot of people describing this horrible flavor from sabro...

So a few weeks ago I decided to brew up a coconut hazy. I crashed for about 3 days before I got around to racking into my keg (closed transfer). I put all my hops and shaved coconut in bags, so I would have no issues with clogging when I went to rack. I ferment in anvil ss buckets and I always...

I've tried to research a bit on this, but cannot really figure out what is going on in my batches. However, I have some theories. It seems like every time I brew a batch it tastes perfect when I go to keg. Mouthful is spot on with no off flavors, or harshness. Once the beer is kegged, cold, and...

I got some beer line cleaner from my LHBS. Superflush from Foxx equipment company to be exact. I wen't to clean my lines today with it and I noticed it is leaving a white residue on everything. I don't remember the last batch of BLC doing this. I got my last batch some time ago from the same...

Tried to find some info on this, but couldn't. I brewed a pumpkin ale that has been sitting in the keg purged with co2, but uncarbonated for a week or two now. It will probably remain like this for another week or 2 until it goes into the kegerator to get chilled/carbed up. It has been sitting...

Hello all! I couldn't really find much info on this...Yesterday I brewed up one of my go to IPA recipes. I chilled the wort to 75 degrees and pitched a packet of us-05. I then aerated and put the carboy in my fermentation fridge for a slow chill to 64 degrees. About 12 hours later I had a good...

Just put together a boarder line apa/ipa recipe with a 50/50 duo of galaxy and citra. I wanted to keep the IBU's between 50-60. I decided to use amarillo for first wort addition, because I was using it before I made some changes and leaving it as the bittering seemed to keep my IBU's where I...

Brewed up the brewers best american wheat ipa kit yesterday. I tasted a sample from my OG reading and it tasted really refreshing with low bitterness and touch of hop flavor. I am really liking how this beer turned out so far! I am thinking about going out and picking up some hop pellets to dry...

Ok, so I got a Sierra Nevada pale ale clone fermenting right now using this yeast. It has been in primary for 6 days now, and I’m thinking about racking for clearing. I just went to check on it the batch and I still see a very thin layer of krausen on the top. It looks like a thin even layer of...

hello, today i am about to brew up a recipe out of my clone brews book for a seirra nevada pale ale clone. their recipe calls for wyeast 1056, but my LHBS doesnt carry wyeast anymore, only white labs. So i originally bought WLP001 because i was reading how similar the two are. When i arrived at...

So I just got a keg kit for christmas and transformed my Sanyo. I was inspecting the keg my kit came with after giving it a good rinse and sanitizer soak with iodophor/water. Around the top of the inside it seems to have some white residue. It looks kinda like a fish tank where your water had...

So I'm starting on my sanyo kegerator build. I was planning to buy most of the parts from my LHBS. He sells a whole fridge conversion kit to make things easy, but i figured I could save some money if i found a few of the parts cheaper. He has his single double gauge regulators with shut off...

I just bought a love TS2-010 controller and a TS-5 probe for it. After reading through the directions on programming the love controller i saw a setting for probe type (H6). The only 2 options it gives for this are PTC and NTC. Does anyone know which category the TS-5 probe falls under? i know...

Ok so I’m thinking about brewing up a wit with some tangerine flavor to it for one of my future batches. I have been trying to figure out a recipe for one, but haven’t really seen any. What I ended up doing is taking the kiwit recipe and the blood orange hefewizen recipe from the...
