I see several threads recently about Pilsners, water, acid, and pH. I've done my best to read through them all before posting this thread but I am still hoping for some reassurances/input on my specific situation. This is my first attempt to use Bru'n water and my first attempt to brew a...

I'm at the point in my keezer build where I need to wire my controller (Inkbird). I'm trying to decide between: 1) enclosing it all in a "project box" and mounting it to the side of the keezer. 2) mounting the controller on the front of the collar and then also mounting the outlets in the...

After a few emails to the County, I received a detailed spreadsheet of the water report for my water source (most of the time anyway). I was attempting to use the Bru'n water sheet to help me calculate any additions I need but what my county sent me doesn't always match to what the Bru'n water...

I've been looking at buying a pump for some time now and have read numerous threads debating which pump to go with. What I didn't see in these threads was whether to get a 120V or the 230V. What is the advantage of going with a 230V vs a 120V version? Is there any or is this simply a US...

I'm a fairly new (within the last year) BeerSmith 2 user. I switched from ProMash as it seems to be mostly dead software with no hope of upgrades or a mobile version. BeerSmith seems to do most anything I need it to do. My only complaint is how it doesn't seem to handle recipes vs. "sessions"...

I have been making an IPA for years that stuck with Centennial, Cascade, and Chinook on this schedule (all pellets): 60 min - 1 Chinook (12%) .75 Centennial (9%) 15 min - .5 Cascade (6.2%) .25 Centennial (9%) 1 min - .5 Cascade .5 Centennial Dry...

I ordered a Munich Helles recipe kit that came with Wyeast 2352. I was getting ready to brew this batch when I noticed that my chest freezer has died. I am unable to replace the chest freezer for several months and am worried about the yeast getting too old. So, I figure my options are the...

Are there any potential problems or dangers using a counter pressure bottle filler to bottle from a keg carbed with beer gas? Is the increased pressure something to worry about when it goes in the bottle? At least point I dont have a beer gas setup but it definitely interests me. My problem...

So, my birthday was Sunday (June 4th) and I received a collection of grilling spices and sauces from my neighbor. The funny thing was that the first thing that popped into my head was "hey...these spices are in miniature grolsch style bottles...I can use them for homebrew". Not one thought...

Ok...I've done searches on all kinds of forums and websites. For whatever reason (perhaps its the homebrew), I can't search the forum for "green beer"....all I end up with is green OR beer. I've tried all manner of operators to signify that I want green AND beer....but no luck. So....can...

Ok...this is my first all grain batch with a false bottom (just used hop bags before). I brew in a converted keg. I have a zymico weldless spigot. I had a custom made stainless drain tube to go from my spigot to the false bottom. My question is this....how do you AG'ers handle the problem of...

Ok...I've PMed some of you so please forgive the bombardment. I'm brewing tomorrow and during my last brew I managed to break my copper manifold for my mash tun. I've seen several posters that use the stainless steel braid from a washing machine hose. I thought I would go this route since it...

This may have been covered in part in another thread, however I could not find a definitive answer (if one exists). I plan to do my first all grain tomorrow. I have a converted keg and a homemade immersion chiller. I cleaned the keg with BarKeepers friend. My question is, should I boil a...

Just joined the forum recently and thought I would tap the knowledge of those here. I'm currently making the jump to all grain. I've already picked up a 15.5 keg and am in the process of converting it. What I would like to know is if anyone can make a suggestion of a good quality propane...
