just ran out of my last batch of apfelwein

enter me in!

Wow I really appreciate all of your suggestions. I will be getting some phosphoric acid. I have looked into the water source and it sounds like it doesn't change much from year to year, I will probably do this again in a few years to see if it changes. Water softeners are popular in this area...

I finally got my water analyzed thinking about it for ten years. I have been reasonably happy with my beer (accepting off flavors as largely a result of mistakes I've made) but I wanted to start making kegged mineral water and so I got curious about the specific contents. Our water in theory...

I wish I'd thought of this because it's a great idea. a metal ruler with a key written on it or since it's a mash tun, the back of your "charismatic" mash paddle would be great. The only other thing I could think of was branding/scratching it into the walls but that didn't seem like a good idea...

I'd be curious what this did to a known recipe, something similar but probably more typically flavorful already would be BierMuncher's Cream of Three Crops - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=66503

I cut mine that way for the exact same reason. Never had a stuck bed.

BierMuncher's Cream of Three Crops Cream Ale - All-Grain Recipe Kit

Yeah, I used coarse sea salt. We ended up making about 100 beer dough pizzas with it, deglazed a lot of pans, added to various soups and dips. It wasn't a disaster. I'll probably try it again one day with something like 10% of the salt.

Well thanks for your feedback, I'll have to see what happens after a few weeks in the secondary and be planning on another batch soon. Think I'm going to go with something a little more middle of the road next.

So, I have made several of the brooklyn brew shop's 1 gallon recipes from kits so I bought the book. I have been very happy with all of their recipes that I have tried until today. I had made a few of the five gallon recipes when I first tried a Gose which I really liked. So I tried making the...

Also a beginner here but about to build this manifold thing for my first all grain batch. The answer to question 2 is that if you did that you would not get suction, the middle section that bends up and has no holes will create a siphon (when paired with a long enough tube on the outside)...

Sanke?

I just realized that CLR is a more general household product. I've been meaning to get some for a showerhead but was blanking on the name (the label is a dead giveaway though). That I can pick up pretty quickly.

Well, I appreciate all your replies. I don't have any CLR for now, just brewvint cleanitizer and starsan. I'm going to try it with starsan until I get a chance to make a run to AHS. I have had the experience of the print coming off of stone bottles, especially old guardian, which I was going to...
