Thank you for your thoughts. I was leaning towards a dunked also. Just trying to find something close to get feedback. It has a good malty backbone and has a bit of sweetness but finishes dry. i attached pic of recipe. I used Bavarian lager yeast.
Hi All,
I brewed up a beer awhile back, and didn’t know my software was pulling in brewers association guidelines as well as BJCP. Now I want to enter this beer but not sure where it would fall with 2021 BJCP. What would you classify this as?
thank you!
Hello all,
I am attempting my first light lager this weekend. I am also learning Bru n water as well as I have been having some issues with my software getting my ph where I want.
Below is what i am working with. I use all RO water. I am not sure if I should worry about the Bicarbonate...
The final piece of my upgrade arrived!!! Was watching that UPS truck on their map in the app all day. Lol. Hanging it tomorrow and water test before weekend
Thank you. Funny, I did a search on this also and found your post from last year. Lots of good stuff even with some of it over my head right now. Lol. Just use it to test TDS and if under 10ppm just go with it. 😀

Hello all,
Looking for some feedback on my IPA. Looking at trying something a bit different after some reading on hops during boil. Looking at the bittering hop at 30 to provide more of a smooth bite than a heavier bite at 60 mins. Then all hops at whirlpool and dry hop for flavor and aroma...
Hello All,
So I have my first brew carbonating in my new conical. I thought I would do a closed pressure transfer when it was done carbing. I now noticed I do not have the right size TC Barb fitting. I ordered one in hopes it would be here pretty quick but may not be here before the weekend...
Thanks for all the info. As of today it looks like it has started to ferment. I see bubbles in the airlock and my Tilt is showing gravity has already dropped 5 points. I will let it ride and see how it goes.
And yes, definitely working on equipment setup. Now have cam locks on everything...
Hello All,
I have the 10 gallon kettle from spike (love it) that has the two ports at the bottom. One has the ball valve and the other has the thermometer. I was thinking of ditching the thermometer to avoid a possible bag tear and was thinking of putting another ball valve there so I could...
