Ok, so I just installed a new RO system and before I was getting RO water from the store. I brewed a beer on Friday with my RO water and my PH was .5 lower than Bru'n Water calculated so this puzzled me enough to brew another beer today and see if the same thing would happen and sure enough it...

I am going to purchase a RO Faucet and I will have 3/8" lines to the faucet. It looks like most of the RO faucets use 1/4 in and comes with a 3/8 adapter. My question is there any faucets that actually output for 3/8? What I mean is even if I attach a 3/4" line it is still restricted to the 1/4...

I just purchased a Steelhead 2.0 pump and I am wondering how others mounted theirs with the absence of any mounting bracket on the pump?

Made a beer yesterday with Antwerp Ale Yeast (WLP515) and it is bubbling away nice but there is zero kräusen on top. I cant say I have ever had an ale ferment that way before. Is that typical for that yeast? It is fermenting at 68 degrees (Room Temp). I did make a starter for this beer and it...

They have created a yeast that produces opium. I am sure this will eventually get in the wrong hands. Not sure what to think of this. :drunk: http://www.newsweek.com/2014/10/03/diy-opium-created-yeast-draws-science-beer-brewing-271860.html

I have been using StarSan for some time now and never have had this issue before and I am wondering if anyone can give me some insight on this. The issue is after mixing the StarSan with the water for some reason the liquid is milky in appearance. After the first time this happened I dumped it...

Ok this is probably a stretch but one never knows. I was given some hop rhizomes some time ago that were growing in Two Rivers, WI and was told they were the ones used in making White Cap Beer which was brewed in Two Rivers. My hopes are that someone out there might know what type of hops were...
