Thanks for helping. I double checked the information in the recipe and the inventory and everything matches, even the spaces. It still shows as out of stock. The quantities in the recipe and the inventory are identical. Edit: The quantity in the recipe would bring the inventory amount to zero. I...
I have started using Brewfather a short time ago and have made 5 batches so far. I had been using BeerSmith 3.0 for several years and I especially like the inventory control on BS3. I have some BrewFather recipes entered and I clicked the Show Stock button to see if my inventory has all the...
I haven't read through all the postings here, but I am surprised that nobody has mentioned Michelob Ultra, fizzy yellow water and the go-to brew for hipsters following rock climbing or a 30 mile triathalon.
I started using a pH meter so I have a Milwaukee M101 meter and it is behaving somewhat unexpectedly. I calibrated the meter at 68 degrees with the 7.0 and 4.1 pH liquids, fine. I collected 5 gallons of filtered tap water at 68 degrees and began checking the pH. Adding phosphoric acid a little...
I have the same system but I plugged in one of those power converters for 220/240 to 120 volts, like the ones needed when travelling overseas. Also, there are power supplies which will take 240 volts and power 120 volt appliances. The Brew-Boss system uses one of these for the inline pump. Check...
I've been using my Brew-Boss 20-gallon system for a few years now and never gave extract brewing a minute of thought.....until now. I am recovering from a major surgery and living here in the Mid-South, the summers can be brutally hot and humid. In years past I have brewed throughout the summer...
Good article. I normally do all-grain brewing but here in the mid-south, summer temps and humidity can be brutal. I am going to try extract brewing for the summer months and have purchased an extract kit for an American Lager. The kit consists of .5 lbs grains, 3+ lbs, pilsen light LME and 1 lb...
I haven't read this entire thread from the beginning but I assume you are using the BIAB method (squeezing). I too, use this method and have greatly improved my efficiency by closely monitoring my grain crush. BIAB brewing is not subjected to stuck sparges so a very fine grain crush can improve...
Got two more ClearBeerDraughtSystem units today, I got one for Christmas and love it so I got a couple more to fit for each of my kegs. This is a floating dip tube and draws beer off the top of the keg rather than pulling up all the dregs which settle to the bottom. An innovative solution that I...
Wow, that's a lot of gel goo! I have found many recipes for using gelatin finings all over this site as well as others in the internet ether. There is one that I found which works well and is simple to make and use:

What I expect from a water report is whether it is hard or soft as determined by the amount of minerals in the water, the pH is also handy to have. If you use distilled or RO water, that is usually pretty soft water and you may need to add a small amount of Calcium and maybe some Sulfate...
It seemed that the original beer was somewhat drier than the kit. This could be attributed to the fermentation profile or less likely in the mash. For one thing, I have an eBIAB system so there was no sparging. My OG came out at 1.053, 10 points lower than spec at 1.063 and FG 1.012 where mine...
