    Baking Soda Effect on Flavor

    I am sharing the outcome what I expect to be too much baking soda added to the mash AND fermented beer (shame). I brewed a tweaked Old Rasputin imperial stout clone recipe in January. Recipe is here. About 10 minutes into the mash, I got a pH reading of ~4.8 using pH strips (shame) near room...

    Weird OG readings with topped-off extract wort

    Has anyone come across this weird OG issue with topped-off partial boil wort? Just brewed my second partial boil extract batch yesterday. I chilled my concentrated wort and added to glass carboy (2.5 gallons) and topped it off with water getting it to 5 gallons. I aerated more by...

    First Recipe Design

    I am attempting to clone Great Lakes Chillwave IIPA but as an APA. I'm using the same ingredients that Great Lakes lists. This will be my 2nd batch ever and my first recipe design. I am open to any advice on my recipe - especially if you have had Chillwave before. At the very least, I'm trying...
