I get that the mash strike water ratio is 1.5quarts for every pound I have (at 10 degrees over the desired mash temp) and that Sparge water is 1.5 times the water used to strike (at 165 F) until I hit 1.008 or enough wort is collected. But how many pounds will I use based on the final desired...

Hi, I usually place my beer (5 gallons) in my keg and carbonate at 30psi for a week, I mean leaving the co2 tank connected to the keg regulated at 30psi for 7 days. Then when Im going to serve my beer in glasses I turn down the regulator to 5psi and when I press the picnic faucet you literally...

Hi, to bottle carbonated beer from a Keg, what's the trick? I plan to get the Keg at 3C then, place the pressure at 30 psi (to avoid foaming inside the beer) and using my Counter pressure filler from morebeer.com, from a long line (don't know how long, hope you can tell me) begin dispensing my...

John Palmer says that you should sparge with 1.5 times more than your mash and that you should have 1 pound for every 0.5gallons of beer. Correct me if Im wrong please, this is how I would do it (and how I've done it): I want to make 4 gallons of beer with a 1.052 of OG. So I place 4...

Hi I guess the best temperature to bottle is the carbonation temp but what pressure should I bottle? The same one that I carbonate? 16psi? Isnt too much?

Hi, I have issues carbonating, I would normally connect my co2 tank at the keg and leave it connected for a week at 30 psi then drop it down to 5psi to bottle or serve in a glass. Few hours ago someone told me that I should.follow the chart for a co2 volume of 2.70. The thing is that im supposed...

Hi, whats the super ultra desired temperature for carbonate in a keg? For how many days? How do you know after that amount of days that is enough carbonation? Sometimes happens that you have a lot of foam on the top part but down is a little flat, how can I get rid of that? Help please

Hi, my ale has been 2 weeks fermentating at 17C (recomended temperatures of wyeast), now I want to rack into the keg. For clearer beer, can I drop down temperatures to maybe 5C to form hazes and then have a clearer beer? Is it ok? For how much time? Ive heard people "lager" any kind of beer to...

Hi, i brewed a american ale with a gravity of 56, wyeast with a ranco temperature digital controller inside my fridge. The yeast optimal range is between 15C and 22C, if you want it to develop mild citric flavor you can have it between 15C and 19C so I have it between 15C and 19C. The thing is...

Hi I.added.a.new.ingredient, oats with a little cinnamon. I got too far 1.070, I wanted to reach 1.052. I noticed the color was more faded than past batches, really ugly. So I did 1 gallon of pale ale extract at 1.040. I mixed it and it.lowered to 1.060, close enough to what I wanted 1.052. Only...
