    How big is too big?

    Saflager W-34/70, Real World attenuation results?

    I recently tried this yeast out on a Munich Helles. I used a step mash (131, 140, 149, 158) and a single rehydrated packet. I fermented at 58 F for 7 days, 70 F for 5 days, then crashed. OG was 1.052 FG was 1.007 Measured attenuation comes out to 85.9%. I'm very happy with how the beer came out.

    Specialty IPA: Rye IPA Denny Conn's Wry Smile Rye IPA

    Sound advice. I treat FG calculations as guidelines and not hard and fast goalposts. I call it good when FG stabilizes after a few readings.

    Specialty IPA: Rye IPA Denny Conn's Wry Smile Rye IPA

    I just brewed up a variant of this, inspired by tasting Burial Beer Co.'s "Scythe" Rye IPA. I'm really pleased with how it came out. Lots of juicy fruit aroma and flavor. Ingredients, based on 5.5 gal into fermentor and 75% brewhouse efficiency: 9 lbs NC 2-row pale (1.8 SRM) 2...

    Alternative Grain Beer Hazard Rye Oktober

    If you're looking for a commercial example, try Great Divide "Hoss" if it's available in your area. It's actually a rye Oktoberfest. [emoji482]

    Show us your DIY stir plate!

    Could be a few things: The magnet and stir bar should be of similar length The magnet should be sufficiently close to the stir bar to grab and keep hold of it The magnet can't be rotating too fast to grab the stir bar. In that case, you'll want to install a potentiometer/voltage regulator.

    Wilmington, Nc Water

    Hey Port, welcome to the forums. That water quality report does not provide all of the data you need to evaluate your brewing water. You'll need a report that, at minimum, has data on the water's calcium, magnesium, sodium, alkalinity, sulfate, and chloride concentrations. That Cape Fear...
