So I'm a big fan of ne ipas, and well they're not very complicated of a recipe. Take a base malt, add some flaked grain, and a maltier secondary grain, and throw a ton of juicy hops at it. Thus, was WTFNEIPA born. https://pricelessbrewing.github.io/wtfneipa/ Example 1:

https://pricelessbrewing.github.io/methods/Simple-StirPlate-Magnets/ tl;dr Buy the thing, Amazon link, no referreal take thing apart, flip two magnets over, put thing back together, attach to fan. Victory. Stronger magnets could be used to replace the existing ones, if needed for a 5L...

Finally getting around to updating my mash calculator for metric, and need two small bits of info. What are most recipes formulated to in regards to the volume into fermenter (Batch volume)? 19L, 20L, 21L? What's your absorption rate usually? Us americans use 0.08gal/lb pretty much...

I've seen two schools of thought on this topic, both citing well regarded books and defending their point of view vehemently. Thought I'd ask you good folks your take on the topic. The first states that all grains should be adjusted when scaling a recipe, not just base malts, adjusting the...

So had a discussion last week regarding Braukaisers findings on batch sparge efficiency being tied to the ratio of first runnings and second runnings, and how that might translate over to BIAB. My initial intuition lend me to believe that the second runnings would be a much lower gravity due...

Been looking around, there's a few homebrew clubs in Chicago. Any feedback? Anyone been a member of more than one club? Right now I'm looking at HOPS in Southside as they're the nearest. Next up is CHAOS, which seems super together and helpful. Bonus is use their complete brew...

Hey looking to do something similar to the most common apple wine recipes and want some input. Aiming for about an 8% cider, but was planning on upping the gravity via apple juice concentrate, and/or boiling down a two gallons to a smaller volume. My thought was that this should retain more...

So I'm on biabrewer.info as well, and one of the users is passionately stating that topping off the water during the boil creates wort that tastes terrible, almost like cat pee. After a couple requests for how/why, he says it's due to the fact that mineral composition is much lower after the...

So I'm trying to have two things on tap right now. One is a cherry backsweetened cider. Small issue with that, the cherry concentrate appears to have cold crashed to the bottom of the cider. Pour 4 glasses, and took OG as they appeared signifincalty redder than I expected. Gravity was...

Tried oxyclean soak overnight. Scraping off with wooden utensils, successful. Don't think its rust. Probably moldy syrup/beer residue and/or mineral deposits. Will attempt a soak in vinegar and starsan. The acid should work on mineral deposits. Edit: http://imgur.com/IVK9Xvv Picture might...

I'm planning on doing 5G of a Tripel, either Final absolution all grain clone or Delirium Tremens. Not sure which yet. I don't have any O2 system, so I'll have to oxygenate via splashing with air. I have two vials belgian liquid yeasts on hand. WLP 540 Platinum series Abbey IV Ale yeast...

Any idea on the best way to go about removing all the foam so I can replace the beer lines? inside the tower there is the following, from center to outside 2 beer lines, 2 copper lines (assume for keeping the beer lines cold) These are thoroughly wrapped in duct tape, for whatever reason...

So here's the situation. Just got done bottling for a wedding, holy crap that was time consuming. 400 bottles. Never again. I have a chest freezer, plenty big enough for at least 6 kegs. BUT I'm in an apartment, 2nd floor and the SWMBO will murder me if I put it in here. Basement...

So right now I have my calculator on google sheets. https://docs.google.com/a/emich.edu/spreadsheets/d/12yJrdQRgZtvsvyg1ZWIOgiv6nCSPBUzgUotV_bvFORc/edit?pli=1#gid=633996997 Only thing is it's kinda annoying to update, and change all but a few cells to protected and reupload. Looking to move to...

Wish you luck. Just wanted to stop and suggest putting your location down for shipping. State/country/city would be helpful so ppl know what shipping will cost

Link to mp4 snapchat video. http://www.mp4upload.com/p105somk3wy3 It seems it tries to stream it as well, but I just got all black screen. There's a download link below that, and I just tested it and it worked. Just moved to apartment about two weeks ago. Discovered today that the electric...

Brewed cream of 3 crops 17 days ago. Og was good. Volume was a little more than intended. Say 5.9ish gal. Instead of the 5.75 intended Sat in chest freezer for 17 days now. Opened lid, and found a fly had snuck into the bucket! Little jerk. No pellicle or signs of infection but relatively...

I only have a 30qt pot, and have found difficulties with the current BIAB calculators. Either they only allow full volume, or they include a mandatory sparging amount. I prefer to choose how much I want to sparge, but I liked the original biab water calculator so I modified it a bit. First...

Biab. Had a lot of temp loss. Used a calculator and apparently it wasn't very good. Suggested 4 degrees higher than mash temp, tried another one after and suggested 9 degrees above mash, which seems more reasonable. One, what do people do with the water used during cooling the wort? Toss it...
