After having thought I had good luck with one cheap digital thermo I came to the realization that it was, as the fat kid from the bank commercial who gets the paper truck after his limited time offer expires says, "This things a piece of junk". So I just ordered a thermopen on a whim. Saw the...

As the thread title says. I need help from the experts. I want it to be balanced towards hoppy but still allow my malt to backbone it. I have always brewed my amber using my water which is: Ca- 35 Mg- 22 Na- 36 SO4- 59 Cl- 37 HCO3- 124 Alkalinity- 86 They have been good but really...

I have about half of the report that the Water Works provies but they leave off some key elements. Does anyone have one that encompases the spectrum? I know the water is good for PA's and Bitters, it is close to London water but I want to make some that fall out of the range and was wondering...

I just wanted to share my experience with this strain. I have used it a few times now on a variety of ales like APA's, Ambers etc. It is a very nice strain IMO. It doesn't attenuate much past 73-74%. It seems to tolerate upper 60's fermentation temps well with no off flavors. I even warm it up...

The SWMBO asked me the other day..."wouldn't it be easier to put that in those kegs we see at the homebrew store?" My response was rant of the benefits plus remindering her how much she hates waiting for her special beer to be ready to drink. I have 2 extra fridges. I have the money. I just...

Has anyone/or could this work: Used a steeped hop tea to dry hop, say a day or so before bottling or just mixed it up in the bottling bucket with the dextrose? My idea was to take a sanitized mason jar, put some boiling water in there, throw in my hops and put the lid on. Let steep until the...

First off, my wife can't get enough of this stuff. I have made it with different hops a few times but so far the only change to the malt is I add 1lbs of Vienna instead of .5 lbs. Would I be ok with using a .5 lbs of Honey Malt instead of the Crystal 10L? Or would that screw this beautiful...

Anyone ever used a small amount say 2-4oz in a APA? Reason I am asking is that I love my APA's to be ramped up with hops but I like to have some strong malt to back it up, ala 3FAlpha King. I know it isn't really true to the style since I want higher IBU's but what the hell, APA's are loose...

I have read a lot and hopefully gleaned some wisdom from all of you. So here goes my second attempt at all grain. My first attempt went well, got a little over 75% eff but ended up short on the boil but I know what I did wrong- simple measuring error. That first recipe was a copy off of here for...

Here is my first crack at an IPA recipe will be brewing Thursday. I am obviously shooting for grapefruity, citrusy goodness. I also want a little bit of malt backbone but not too much to overpower the hop-errific intentions. I don't want too much residual sweetness either. Would love for the...

I want to prempt my question with an apology..sorry, I am pretty new at this AGAIN, after 5 yrs layoff because of a extensive house remodel. I've read like hell on the subject but now in practice my confusion comes from behind and slaps the hell out of me. Now, I am making a simple extract...
