One reason I've been pondering this is to see if a secondary yeast can finish the job. For example if I do primary ferment with kveik at about 90-95F and get down to ~1.015, but want the beer to finish even drier than that, then among other choices I can (a) add some enzymes to break down the...

According to the latest Seattle water report, the total alkalinity is 21 and the calcium level is < 1 mg/L. Bru'N Water calculates bicarbonate concentration at 25 ppm. In other words, soft as a baby's cheek. From this, and the above discussion, I assume that my local water also allows me to...

Pretty sure what he meant was "hitting the same walls". In other words not trolling, just mentioning that some of the problems are common among many people.

The attached screenshot shows the relevant calculation from http://seanterrill.com/2012/01/06/refractometer-calculator/. Prior to using this calculator I had been baffled by my refractometer reading of 4.2P (1.0165 if used on unfermented wort), because it was in stark contrast to my hydrometer's...

So I went through the steps in the post titled "External Public & Private BrewPi webpage" by Prymal. I now have the watered-down index.php and the password-protected Admin.php, both working as expected. But they only work locally, not from an external host. I have set up a dynamic DNS using...

What is the brand of cooler on your top shelf? Presumably it is your HLT, although I don't see any tubing running from it to the mash tun. Reason for my curiosity: I am looking for a cooler which fits on the 16x16 shelf, but has 15-gallon HLT capacity. That's about 115 pounds of water, and I...

I have two hop plants, and have somehow lost the file meant to help me remember which species they are. I am hoping a description and some pics will help you folks help me out. The two plants are pretty different from each other. Being an ale fan I suspect that my two hop plants are in the...
