There's no extract brewing being done here :)

I was recently diagnosed as diabetic. I am trying to lose weight but mostly count the carbs. Currently I'm at around 100 grams per day and the weight is melting off. I also do about 30 minutes of cardio. I do still like to have a couple of beers a day or so, so I'm trying to figure out how...

Thanks. I also found this link to a calculator: http://www.mrgoodbeer.com/carb-cal.shtml

Well I ended up finding a link doing a search. Now I just need to find a yeast that will make the final gravity as low as possible. I know that brett will but I'm looking for a sacc strain.

Does anyone know of a way to calculate grams of carbs for beer? I have beersmith and that software calculates for calories but not carbs.

I did a 3 gallon batch. 6 cups dark brown sugar. .4 lbs of fresh ginger (grated with skin on in the nutri bullet) 1 large lemon (zest and juiced) 2.5 limes (zest and juiced) My entire house smelled like lemon. It was interesting to me that the ginger smells a lot like lemon. I heated the 3...

What are they similar too? Mosaic? I always get intense grapefruit from Mosaic but it's usually after the brew has sat a week or two.

Yeah just having a tough time finding much.

I'm looking for information on it because it seems to be void in Beersmith. Has anyone used these? We just ordered a pound from Yakima Valley Hops.

Looking for a 12.5 or 15gallon basic, no valves kettle with tri clad. I have the concord 12.5 and it scorched some wort and warped the bottom. It was my error because I sat a ss hop spider on the bottom. All I see are pre made with valves and holes in them already. I don’t care about...

What is it that the dishwashing powder does anyway? Honestly I think that plain oxyclean versatile may work better than this mixture. It seems like I have to use a lot more of it.

Sounds like we're going to try this recipe for a barrel project. Using some kind of bourbon barrel. Going to use 04 yeast...because who wants to make a starter? Possibly throw some vanilla beans in the mix as well. Some were talking about adding a tincture of peppers at kegging/bottling as well.

Selling my complete single vessel electric system. Here is the link: https://toledo.craigslist.org/for/d/electric-beer-brewing-system/6288413981.html

Personally I've never noticed a harsh or smooth bitterness, just bitterness. If you ask me there is no difference between hops. The difference comes from ibu amounts and the water profile. A beer using late additions for IBU's will mask more bitterness than a beer brewed with only bittering...
