    Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier Clone???

    If I'm trying to get some more creaminess, would adding either one do the trick, and if so, how much would one add? I know it wouldn't be authentic, but I'm trying to tailor it to what I think I would like. If I add flaked oats/wheat, am I not allowed to call it a hefeweizen? What would I...

    Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier Clone???

    Couple of questions: 1). What would be the difference in the final product be if instead of adding 0.5oz hops at boil start, I instead threw them in as FWH? 2). I've been reading about adding some flaked oats to render a creamyness and increased mouthfeel in the final product; would flaked...

    I wanted to avoid re-starting a new logging session; if you start a new brew your old graph goes away. I was curious to have the same graphs; just a different name up top

    mash ph adjustment technique

    arent we interested in a room temp ph of 5.2-5.6, not mash temp ph? i havent measured ph at mash temp, not bc of fear of damaging the instrument, but moreso for accuracy. how close is the .3 to rt ph at the 147-153 temp range? so mash temp ph should be targeted at 4.9-5.3?

    Hey guys, I'm starting my build and have what will probably sound like a trivial question: So the power cable we cut gets plugged into a standard wall outlet, and the other end gets wired up to the other outlet we purchased. Both our freezer and heater get plugged into this outlet, and the...

    pH of finished un-carbed beer

    thanks not sure how i missed that.... anyway, i brewed a dopplebock 2 weeks ago; its done fermenting and when I checked the FG i tasted it and got this flavor i can only describe as somewhat astringent, which remained on my tounge for 5 minutes after drinking, it stopped short of 'tingling'...

    pH of finished un-carbed beer

    Does anyone know what the ballpark pH range should be for finished, uncarbonated beer? Beer that is done fermenting and about to be kegged? I did some searching but couldn't locate anything concrete Thanks!

    Saison Adjustment, please help

    I guess I don't really understand the purpose of targeting bicarbonate at all if we are just going to adjust the pH with acid?

    missed OG by a mile

    i (had hoped to) brew a giant weizenbock today; my target OG was 1.150 my actual OG was 1.070 ph was spot on, crush, everything standard. the only issue I had was when doughing in, i over shot my water temp (i had alot of grain so erred on the higher side); brought my mash water temp up to...
