Hi all A question for you all if i may. I am currently using RO water for my brewing. I have found a water profile online for a Juicy bits clone and i have setup a target profile in Brewfather. The values i was given was only included values for Chloride, Sulfate and Calcium but nothing for...

I ended up going for a 3 stage “shield” system off eBay. Cost about 100 dollars. I recently purchased a pH tester and the readying was 6.84 which was below my expected 7. Anyone else test their RO water ?

Hey all I am a new brewer brewer (2 brews under my belt using the Brewzilla and Fermzilla). My latest brew is a Juicy bits clone. I am at the end of fermentation and I can already see that the beer will not be as Hazy as the ones I have been enjoying. I am chasing that super hazyness and...

And also, is acidulated malt, phosphoric acid or lactic acid all options of the same quality ? Are the all equally good options to bring the PH down ?

Ok, so to make sure i understand correctly. The grain effects the PH of the wort so we need to consider that before adding anything. As i am using RO water, i select that as my default water in Brewfather. I think go to the water selection and choose the type of style that i am making and then...

Thankyou. I selected the style and then hit auto and it did indeed calculate what i needed to add. A follow up question is that i see the PH is 5.63 and i hear that we want to be aiming for between 5.2 and 5.6. How would i get the PH lower? Do i just need to play around with the amounts of salts...

Hey all Another question for you all. I am using Brewfather and i have just done my first brew with an experienced brewer which went well. I have received some recipes for the next type of brew that i would like to do but they dont have any water profiling details. I am and will be using RO...

Hey All I am planning on doing my first brew tomorrow and i am waiting for my RO filter setup to arrive. I will need to purchase some RO water and i wanted to ask if there is anything i need to look out for when i go to buy it from the supermarket. Is it a certain type ? Any advice/suggestions...

Hey All I am interested in making Belgian beer and I understand that it needs to be conditioned after fermentation. My question is, does that conditioning need to take place in bottles? i am about to purchase my setup and am thinking of going for kegging over bottling but I want to mainly...

Thanks, do you know if its possible to send private messages on here ? Cant seem to figure it out

Hey All Hopefully i am not doubling up with this question but i am looking to purchase a RO water filter to fit to my outside lawn tap. I have looked on Ebay for one and there are a few different types and they vary alot in price. What do you guys recommend? How many stages do you require for...

Maybe a silly question but at what point would I add the candy sugar ?

Really appreciate you taking the time and I am Happy to hear it’s not as complicated as o first thought. I am fascinated by the Belgian dark beer and it’s what I want to make. May I ask what equipment you are using ? I am looking to purchase the Brewzilla setup as a startup

Hey all Just starting out and am about i purchase the Brewzilla to get started. I recently sat in on an all grain brew day For an IPA which was awsome and i learnt a lot. I wanted to reach out on this forum and ask if anyone is brewing Belgian beer? Specifically Dubbel, Triple or Quads. From...
