I'll have to get out water profile checked when it gets installed. This spring they are supposed to run rural water to our place. Right now is is an artesian well and almost hard enough to walk on. We go through a lot of water softener salt. I have to change out the sediment filters just about weekl...

To me, does not matter if a cider or ale, etc. I don't usualyy touch mine for 3 weeks. I just kegged a hard cider I transferred into a secondary and let sit another 3 months. I don't use kit recopies though, I use straight grain for ale or juice from my trees or frozen from the store, I give it time...

If you can harden your water with some gypsum or the like it will turn out even better. You don't have to but a bit of minerally character and hops that zing a bit more are appropriate for this. I have a vial of gypsum, how much should I put in for 3 gallons? Or do I need to shoot for a certian ph?

Thinking of doing a quick(?) IPA with few ingredients. How does a 3 gallon batch with 8.91lb of Maris Otter, 7oz of Goldings East, 5.09 first wort and 1.91 dry hop sound? Mash at 152 for 90 min, Mash out at 168 for 10 min. 1 pack of S-04. Ferment 3 weeks, force carb for 1 week, drink up. This is bas...

Keg'd 5 gallons of Honey Hard Cider this morn. Used 6 gallons of juice from our apple trees, one lb lactose and 2 lbs clover honey (those 2 added at keg time). Fermented 3 weeks, removed trub bottle and let condition in fast ferment vessel for 2 months. Treated with pot. sorbate to prevent a ferment...

Welcome to the forum!

Been so long I forgot, been long time.

Per the green goblin, one egg and 1/4 cup of peanut butter per 1 pound of 2 row. slowly mix in flour until it has a good dough consistency, roll out in a cookie sheet, bake at 350*F for 40 min...or until done

Hard cider with a slight sweet/honey background. Light and very refreshing but oh so high of an ABV, can't taste the 14%. Time for another one.

Congrats on the retirement!

Enjoy! I'm late to the party as normal but I picked up a GrainFather and love it. I use the pump every batch and love how I can create and run the brew session from my phone. One of the reasons I went with the GF was you can buy some accessories for it and make a small batch of hard stuff. I'm going...

Welcome to the forum! And so it begins. Start out small then end up with a room full of pots/carboys/bottles/kegs/couple hundred pounds of grains/hops/toys, etc.... LOL it's a nice obsession.

Howdy!

Yea, but I brew alot of 3 gallon brews on types that last awhile, like the jalapeno brew I'm fixin to do up. Or a couple of stouts. I'm all over the place.... LOL

Less worries if sealed and sent by USPS?
