I'm heading down the rabbit hole that is water chemistry, and I think some things are finally starting to click, but I'm not sure when to measure the mash pH using my BrewEasy system. Since it uses the full volume of water, I understand you need to account for that. When I mash in, I follow...

I was planning on brewing Yooper's 'Hoppy American Amber or Malty American Pale Ale?', but the LHBS didn't have any Golden Naked Oats, so I reverted back to just doing Jamil's West Coast Blaster, which is what Yooper's is based on (I believe). Anyway, Jamil calls for British pale ale malt, and...

I just got a MM-2 from Midwest, along with the base and hopper. When I opened the box, I notices little metal chips on everything. Opened up the mill, and noticed the rollers had slipped out of the end block, and were probably banging against each other during shipping. I spent about 45...

Hey everyone, Just brewed an Alt (Northern Brewer extract kit), and it's fermenting away at 60 deg. I plan to wait about two weeks, and then transfer to secondary (probably a keg), and lager. What is the best procedure for lagering? Step the temp down a degree or two a day, until I hit...

Anyone have one of these? Looks brand new, as a search returns nothing...possibly a cheaper alternative to a Thermapen? The certification and guaranteed accuracy are a positive, but having to purchase a separate silicone boot to make it splashproof is a negative. Any info or opinions...

I've been planning to order a 10 gal brew kettle with 2 welded ports (valve and thermometer), but the more I research thermometers, the more confused I am as to what to get. It looks like getting a K type is probably the most accurate, as there are just too many negative posts about the...

I brewed NB's Extra Pale Ale kit about 4 1/2 weeks ago. Left it in primary for 3 weeks, cold crashed for 2 days and kegged it. I used my autosiphon that I had run a couple gallons of Star San through (and it was only the 2nd time I've used it). Tasted a bit from the primary. Tasted great...

...and I'd like to learn from my mistakes, but I'm not entirely sure what they are! First post, and I'm probably venting, more than anything else...but I have a couple questions. First batch was a Caribou Slobber NB extract kit. Had a friend that brews some pretty good AG help me out...
