Thank you.

Hello everyone! So I have been practically idle as far as brewing goes sinve Covid hit. But now, i am face to face with two ale batches that need to be bottled. 1st brew: wheat ale: 40% wheat malt. 60% pale malt. S 05 yeast. Brewed 6 months ago Stayed in primary for 1 month Transferred to...

Awesome! Thank you.

What do you guys think of these two different bottled water sources? I am leaning more towards the blue-labeled one because of the higher calcium content (assuming I am going to boil it before mashing). Am I on the right track? Or am I over thinking it!.. I am just sick of investing so much...

Thank you!

Thank you buddy!

As Per "the Complete Joy of Homebrewing" levels of Bicarbonate higher than 100 ppm imparts harshness and bitterness to beer. I will look for those acids tomorrow, hopefully they are available in the local pharmacies

What salts or acids do I need in this case? I am going to visit my local pharmacies to see what I get my hands on! I am just tired of such hard work to get hard tasting beer!

HI, I am really interested in trying hydrogen peroxide for my next batch. Do you have an idea on how much of it I should use? And should it be added to the water every steeping phase or just the initial one? Thanks a lot.

HI, Yes the rice was only used for lautering. I used that much because the wheat was not fully modified. I actually had a stuck sparge but only for the last couple of quarts though, wasn't bad at all. I considered M47 but then I am also worried about the fact that it is highly flocculant, would...

Awesome!!! Thanks a lot for the reply. I actually finished malting the wheat and it came out great. I am, as we speak, brewing a wit bier. I put in 8.5 lbs barley malt 6.5 lbs wheat malt 1.5 lbs rice hulls 1.5 lbs flaked oats. Zest of 2 large oranges 2 la le spoon coriander seeds. Problem...
