I do not think I would mark/score the inside of the kettle. Using some type of marked mash paddle would be simple enough. The site glass really works perfect for me.

Hope I win

I am looking to get some suggestions on the water profile for a Strawberry Kolsch. I think a standard Kolsch would have a water profile from Cologne Germany. Ca = 104.0 Mg = 15.0 Na = 52.0 SO4 = 86.0 Cl = 109.0 HCO3 = 152.0 or Ca = 84.8ppm Mg = 3.8ppm Na = 62.1ppm SO4 =...

This is a great thread about dry hopping. I think I will try to build a new stir plate for dry hopping. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f128/dry-hopping-science-413189/ I think for your case I would do two dry hop additions. Cascade(.5-1oz) for 3 days, then remove. Citra(.5-1oz) for 3...

Pics - I use irish moss in the boil and I am never really happy with my clarity. I am switching to whirlfloc tablets and will see if I have better results. Either way, I always enjoy this light beer and for people who are a little scared of homebrew it is a nice way to break them in!

pfgonzo - I just found this again and see you requested a photo! I will send it along later. I understand people do not like Corona, but from a homebrewers point of view it is a Premium American Lager (1C). It is listed right there with Heineken and Stella Artois as commercial examples in the...

Has anyone ever used a mash pad with their false bottom? Where can they be purchased? My 12" FB makes an ok seal on the bottom of my kettle. I assumed the weight of the grains (10+lbs) and water(4+ gal) would "push" the FB down and stay there. I was wrong. The spage stuck almost right...

Battle of the Brews is Delaware for sure, but War of the Worts is held each year by Keystone Hops. It is atleast local if not Delaware specific. War of the Worts is a large event.

Brewing in Delaware for a number of years now. I am not in a club yet, but get teh First State emails. Two kids and work always keep me from meetings on a friday evening! I just built a gravity fed brew stand and am excited to see it in action!

SpikeBrewing - I sent an email directly to [email protected]. Please let me know. Thanks!

PM sent - let me know. I can pick it up tomorrow, or whenever.

Did this sell? Is it the 3" stem?

I am looking to buy a used 10 gal MLT with a thermometer and false bottom. Let me know if you are looking to let one go. I am in Wilmington, DE.

I think your beer sounds fantastic! I have found that 14 days is the minimum in the secondary,otherwise you do not extract a strong enough fruit aroma/taste. After 14 days I would taste it every 2nd day until it hits the level you like and pull it after 21 days no matter what the taste. There...
