Hi Folks, We are very lucky here in Calgary to have tap water that hovers around 6.5 - 6.7 pH unless we are into spring runoff. Good ole Rocky Mountain water! I've created a recipe in BrewFather that is showing a pH of 4.72 and I'm into my first few tries adding Gypsum or Calcium Chloride...

Hi Folks! I pitched on a red ale HB with Flagship. It was a very successful brew, got 20L out of the boil, due to the big sparge. I checked the carboy tonight and everything has dropped...I mean no airlock action. Yeast is even sitting on the spigot, and fully into the bottom. Perfectly still...

Hi Folks, hope you're all keeping busy at home, and getting outside when you can. Crazy times, indeed! On my first foray into hard cider! Doing 19L, got a 1.090 for the initial, and I am using E1118 yeasties. I pitched 30min ago! Woohoo! Trying a Drunken Emu clone, with some extra sugar. Also...
