Welcome and good luck!

Vienna chilling right now

I understand the concern, but it just wasn't that good of a barleywine...

Tore apart my Barley Crusher and cleaned it Milled grain for this weekend's Vienna Dumped a half keg of 3 year old barleywine to make room for a Green Flash IPA clone

Green Flash IPA, strike water heating up. New pump, new brewery configuration, new brew software - going to be an adventure :drunk:

Do some research on the 5.2, it's not really the miracle product they claim it to be. It will buffer somewhat, but you have to be pretty close to 5.2 already for it to be effective. I know this from having really hard water (bicarbonates 330+), and trying to do exactly what you're doing...

Is it possible the hops "hid" the cider flavor in the middle beer? To me it sounds like you're abandoning a great strain due to issues that aren't yeast related. Maybe split a batch and do both yeasts side by side, minimizing all the other sources of variation...?

This, but I'm not really looking to go all "eHerms BIAB no-chill bacon peanut butter and fetus lambic served on cask in a polypin", but rather "mostly like a pils, but with with some non-traditional hops in the finish". Thanks all for the advice - great stuff in here. I have put a plan...

So if we leave out the Galaxy, what would you suggest for a hop schedule? I do have some Hallertau on hand for bittering...

Hi all, Thinking of brewing something along the lines of a pils, but with NZ hops...I just got 4oz each of Galaxy, Pacifica, and Motueka. I'm leaning towards something like bitter with the Galaxy, then blend all three for additions at 20/10/flameout (amounts/IBUs to style). Granted, these...

Just to be safe, I sprayed my phone with StarSan after viewing this thread.

I was able to stop in the store and meet Jon and Rhonda yesterday, and was very impressed with how helpful and friendly they both were. Great selection for only being open a few days. Prices as good or better than the other local shops (in Madison). I picked up a sack of Maris Otter and a few...

I used this today for the first time....outstanding. So much better than the other ones out there. Thanks for putting the time and effort into this!

This is awesome, thanks for all the time you've put into this! I've been working off of trial Promash for about 3 years, with a bunch of random Excel files to supplement.....this brings it all together. Again, thanks! I am having a hard time figuring out how to set up a mash..even after...
