So I've decided that I'm gonna do a 10 gallon said on the weekend and splotch the batch between 2 different yeasts. I decided to go with bottle cultures from a couple Ontario breweries that I enjoy. Without any idea what strain is being used, what do people think I should shoot for on...

So I took a chance on the HI99104 meter, hoping I could get something workable for less than a hundred bucks. I've used it for about 6 brews now, and after learning how to use it consistently decided to run a stability check. Having sat in storage for the last week it was reading 4.10 and 7.07...

So I'm getting pretty sick of hand grinding my grain, and the cheap 12v cordless drill I have won't do more than a pound or so before the battery dies. I was looking around online and found this http://www.princessauto.com/pal/en/Drills-And-Drivers/1-2-in-Electric-Impact-Drill/8532269.p at a...

I have been doing BIAB for about six months now, and just upgraded to a 12 gallon cooler tun. I got everything plumbed and sealed, but I have no idea what I should estimate for baseline efficiency on the first batch. It is a pretty standard steel braid setup, and I made sure tubing runs all...

I haven't been able to find this information online, so I figured I would ask here. I bottled a Belgian dark strong about a week ago, 8.5% alcohol. How long should I leave it in my warm bottle room (~73*) before moving it to my basement (~65*) until the fall probably? Thanks in advance for any...

So I put down a Rochefort 8 clone attempt this Saturday, and all is well so far. I cultured from a bottle for my yeast pitch, and planned to grab another to use for fresh bottling yeast. Unfortunately there isn't another bottle of Rochefort in town at this point, the liquor stores rarely get...

So I have access to 3 bottles of this year's Orval. I'm gonna open one tonight and feed it, and brew something on the weekend. What should I grew that will really complement what I cab get from that? I have one sour I've given the same treatment to that Im not going to check on until spring...

Does anyone know how to estimate colour change adding a small volume of very dark beer to a full batch of pale ale? I'm considering using the reusing the Irish ale yeast from my Guinness clone attempt, but I want to be able to at least speculate on final appearance. Should be about 500 ml of...

I,m trying to make something similar to Wychwood's King Goblin, and after listening to the Wychwood can you brew it episode I am wondering how to apply whirlpool hops on my system. It takes about 90 minutes to cool to pitching temps, as all I have to work with is submersion in my basement...

So I have about half a dozen all grain brews under my belt now, and feel that it's time to start looking into water chemistry. I've gotten pretty good results so far, but I believe I can do better with what I have available. Water report is as follows. Ca: 34 mg/L Mg: 8.7 mg/L Na: 9.6 mg/L...

I have had a 1 litre starter that's been on a stirplate for a little over 48 hours now, and there are still absolutely no signs of activity. When the plate is off the surface is totally still, so I can't imagine there has been any gas production at all. The two smaller steps in the beginning...

So I've been lurking these forums for awhile now, and I finally found a question I can't google my way past. I've become very partial to the Urthel Hop It, and its gotten me thinking about bottle culturing yeast,and brewing my first Belgian. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the...
