    Mini Keg Discussion / Mods / Show Off - Dedicated Thread

    All sorted James, post #47 Got 4 brews down problem free. I believe it was a combination of issues contributing to the off flavours hence it was so hard to pin down. Either way, i now have all bases covered! Cheers!

    3 brews in since I started this thread and.... The off flavour is GONE! everyone of them are winners. Couldn't be happier. Some changes I implemented based on your feedback. I boil the brew water prior to mash then let it cool. I use bruin water/ezewater to calculate water treatments. I test...

    Yeh brewday is outside, the fermentation and bottle conditioning is done in the dark. I think i may have a longy or two of the suspect batches i'll have to check, maybe take it up the local HBS for testing. Poor guy must get that a bit i'd say... "here taste my dodgee beer! What is it!?"

    Poll: PH testing

    After punching my water analysis and most recent recipe into the EZ water calc (it is very easy) i can see problems already with some of the mineral components of my brewing water. I really hope this is it and ive found the cause (with everybody here's help), quietly optimistic. Screenshot below.

    Poll: PH testing

    Thanks i'll give EZ water and Buin water a go see which one works best for me. The fact that the dark beers come out ok is what has convinced me on this. That was a very helpful and interesting article. I've been through the first few pages and flagged the rest to go back and reference. I just...
