    paralysis by analysis - Brewing Water Modifications

    I want to start modifying my brewing water and i've overloaded myself with research. I have not gotten a water report yet. I did purchase a PH meter. I read and own Water by Palmer and Kaminski. I use a Culligan in-line filter on my outside hose tap for water and consistently make beers that...

    Irish Stout Malt in a Saison?

    Has anyone tried using Irish Stout Malt in a Saison? My LHBS just started carrying it. The backstory here is that a while ago I went to make an all-grain Saison with 65% Pilsner, 15% Rye, 8% Caramel Wheat, and 8% Flaked Wheat and 2% Clear Candi Sugar. I accidentally bought Pale Malt instead...

    Head Retention Issues (I've Tried Everything!)

    So I've been brewing all-grain BIAB, 4-4.5 gallon batches, for about 4 years now. I brewed extract for a couple of years beforehand. I've consistently had head retention issues with my beer. When I brewed extract, this was never an issue. After searching the internet and these forums...

    Carapils vs Malto Dextrin

    Hey all, So my saison recipe calls for “American - Carapils (Dextrin Malt)” and I went to my LHBS and they didn’t have Carapils as a grain but they had Malto Dextrin and it looks exactly like DME or Dextrose. I was wondering if these to are the same. And if so what is the ratio between the two.

    Forgot to take an OG reading...any hopes at reverse-calculating?

    I brewed a beer last night, and in the haste of trying to finish up and get everything cleaned before it got too late I forgot to take an OG reading. However, I did take gravity readings of first runnings from the mash and last runnings (stupidly not the mixed wort pre-boil). I had hoped to...

    Mash Tun choices

    Hi All, I was contemplating making or buying a mash tun. I have watched various videos and done a little research in regards to making a mash tun. However, it seems like it is simple to do, however the bottom filter that you get doesn't look as though it'd be as effective or easy to clean as...

The recipe has the Final Gravity stationed @ 1.016, I used a different type of yeast then I usually do (I used...

    What the funk is going on with my Hefe?

    I am trying to brew a German hefeweizen - it's my favorite kind of beer. I've been trying for about 2 years to get the brew I'm looking for. I love the banana clove bubble gum flavor in a good Hefe but can't seem to get anywhere close to it. So I am stumped. Every time it gets a weird flavor...

    Sediment in primary

    Hey Everyone, I’m on my second brew ever and I just pitched yeast in the primary fermenter about an hour ago. I realized shortly after that I forgot to strain out sediment before I put it into the primary, and it already looks like there’s a thick layer of sediment building (about a third of...
