I just wanted to see if I swap out the 110v GFCI cord that comes with the inkbird with a 240v GFCI (RCBO) cord, will that make it 240 v friendly with no other adjustments needed? I see that outputs are 110/220v for heat and pump. I just want to make sure before attempting this. Thanks for the...

Hey everyone, I was just hoping to get suggestions. I just ordered my 14 gallon Chronical (non-BME). I am looking for some accessories. I want to have a blow off cane, be able to pressure transfer, and have a way to dry hop with minimum o2. Anyone have some recommendations? I am not sure if...

I just moved into my new house and I have not tested my well water yet, we do not even drink the water from the tap. We have those 5 gallon Culligan water jugs for drinking water at the house. I am planning on using the Culligan jugs for brewing water and I cannot find the water breakdown...

I did a search on using the post 9-11 GI Bill for a Brewer's Certificate out of the country, but I have not seen anyone who has done this. I am a veteran who lives in Belgium and I have been looking into a 4 week MSc course on malting and brewing at KU Leuven. I am just wondering if anyone has...

Hey how is it going? I just have a few questions on building my RIMS controller. I am switching from my propane burner setup to an electric 2 vessel RIMS system (similar to Joe, terpschoreankid). I am originally from the US, but currently live in Belgium. I am running 220/240 natively here, so a...

First off sorry for the New B question. I am a big fan or Belgian styles and thats mainly what I have brewed thus far. I just wanted to know where the licorice taste comes from in Belgian Dubbels. I do not like licorice so I want to try to avoid getting any of those tasting notes in my beers...

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has any good recipes using Saaz or Styrian Goldings hops? I have some left over from my last brew day. Any ideas?

I was wondering if there was a way to input ingredients somewhere and it would populate recipes that use those ingredients. I have beer smith but not sure if there was a way to do that with beer smith, or if they have somewhere online to do that. I have a bunch of left over grains, so was...

I just pitched my wyeast 3787 trappist high gravity ale yeast last night and with-in a few hours the yeast was already pretty active. Less than 24 hours and I needed to put a blow off tube, I came home to a mess. This was my first brew using a yeast starter, I will not make another brew...

I am thinking of trying the following recipe. I have high gravity yeast and would like to try to make a SMaSH Abbey Ale with this. What do you guys think? Anything you would change? I am also thinking of also adding Wyeast 1762 (Belgian Abbey II) to bottle condition. SMASH Abbey Ale...

I am going to be brewing my next batch in a BIAB method. I have a 15 Gallon cooler as a Mash Tun, and will be doing a no sparge BIAB mash in the cooler. Then I will drain to my kettle and continue brew process. I am new to the BIAB method, I will be buying beersmith before the brewday to help...

I did my first all grain batch today but missed my OG by a good margin. My recipe said I should have an OG of 1.052 but I hit closer to 1.025. I already pitched the yeast and my FG should be 1.010. Since I missed my starting gravity by so much will this batch come out ok? I am guessing that...

Hey whats going on guys I have a noob question, but I am new to BIAB. I want to BIAB using my 7.5 gallon kettle, but from what I have read and seen I think I would be mashing/boiling pretty close to the top of my kettle. What would you recommend? Should I just take 1 gallon of water off of...

I know a big problem brewer's have is fermenting in the summer. I am still in primary fermentaion on a Belgian IPA (just about 6 days in), but I have been on the higher side of recommended fermentation temperature (71-72 degrees F). I know now that even though the temp reading on the side of...

I have not seen the answer to this question, but I was just wondering how many times you could use your nylon bags for brewing. This is the bag I was planning on buying just didn't know if I had to buy a new bag for each brew session. MASHING BAG 30X30X35CM...
