    RTD placement

    What is everyone's opinion on rtd placement for reading mash temp on a eherms system? I was originally just going to place it right on the side of the mash tun, but I see a lot of people placing it in a T off the bottom ball valve so it reads the temp of the exiting wort before going to the...

    Strange yeast starter

    So I have been brewing for a little over a year now and things have been going quite well for the past few months. I mostly use liquid yeast and always make a starter with it. Every starter I have ever made went like clockwork, activity within 4-8 hours and done in 24-36 hours. So the other day...

    Lagering question

    I have read many times where people drop beer temp a couple degrees per day until at lagering temp. What is the purpose for slowly bringing the temp down as opposed to just putting it in a 40 degree fridge right away?

    I have a question about water treatment and how much the ppm from the ions increases with boil off. My question is this....If I need 9 gallons of water for an all grain recipe to end up with 5.25 gallons after mashing/boil....do I treat my water based off the initial 9 gallons to achieve a...

    Something I've noticed as I've gotten more and more beers under my belt

    So when I first started brewing, most of my fermentations would produce a pretty heavy krausen (3-5" thick). Sometimes growing right out the blow off hose or airlock. Since gaining some experience and watching things more closely with water chemistry, ferm temps, oxygenation of cooled wort...
