I RO my water but am now wondering if the flow rate is too high to get rid of any Chloramine if it has been added. I think I may add half a Campden tablet in addition to filtering for the next brew just in case. To me I can always pick up something in the taste, no one else has ever said...

Lol that made me smile - just a coincidence of name and initials I'm afraid . ;)

On the up side I had an early sample of my Vanilla Oatmeal stout that I brewed a couple of week ago and bottled for Xmas - WOW. A chocolate and vanilla bomb - I suspect these flavors will mellow but this could be the best beer I have brewed to date,

Sent it in the post today. I feel slightly bad as I know that most traders have such small overheads but with a second look I suspect that these are cracks that could spread with use.

I'm too tight for that

lol, afraid not

Similar design but not quite as expensive as them. Just looking at replacing it with an Anvil.

I have and they are refunding which is great but after the conversation I felt as if I was being a little pedantic.

Hello all, I recently purchased a stainless steel fermenter which I have used perhaps half a dozen times - I'll leave the supplier out of it for now. As I was cleaning it after the last brew day I noticed what I thought was a black scum mark near the bottom. Upon close inspection I...

I'll check that out, thanks.

Thanks for advice - vma. I think I have enough to go on now but I'll cut back on my batch to limit wastage if things do not go well. I am mindful that I am bottling and not kegging.

So with the batch size I try to do which is 23 liters I am on the very upper limit even though most other factors would be OK - cannot guarantee the age of the yeast though until I receive it. I'll start having a look at making a starter - banggood has a magnetic stirrer for under £20. Update...

Hello all, This has probably been asked before but I could not find a post on it. From most I can see liquid yeast is OK up to 5 gallon of wort (18.9 liters). Am I straining my yeast to the point at which off flavors are likely with 23 liters of wort?

Either the recipe I have adjusted from is off or my adjustments are wrong, let me see if I can get these hop additions to a better place. Remove FWH. Flame Out: 15g of each Whirlpool for 20 mins: 50g of each Dryhop 1 @ 2 days: 10g of each Dryhop 2 @ 7 days:100-150g of each Total hop bill is...

So tackling the water profile first if I may with some further tinkering - now with additions which I forgot to write down. To be clear the first figures below are my actual water profile so the sulfate will need bringing up but I am concerned about the calcium level. Ca - 100, 191 Mg - 4, 12...

Hello all, This will be my first recipe post and also my first go at a NEIPA so please critique as necessary. This will be a 23 litre bottle batch of beer using a full volume BIAB. The recipe itself is from beercraftr.com which I have adjusted for the batch size and method. Water Profile...

When I started home brew I put sugar solution individually into each bottle - never again! I now make a sugar solution like many people fo here by boiling up sugar with a small amount of water. I then add it to the bottling bucket as the siphon starts, the hose having been placed to create a...

With some adjustment I get the outcome below - when should I get concerned about the calcium level? (As my water report does not have magnesium in it I have taken an average from my surrounding area)

Thanks Hoddy. The problem is that I am a perfectionist and I found myself concerned with tweaking the numbers to achieve perfection.

Its the EZ Water Calculator - I hope its not an issue.
