So i have a heap of spare grains i want to use up. I have these malts left 3.5kg Castle Pale Ale Malt 0.4kg Caramunich II 1kg BB Medium Crystal 0.7kg Victory I would love to put them all together and see what it ends up being but i would think it would be something of a biscuity, bready...

No worries, I'll be starting small then and focus mainly on the pH. Cheers for all your help guys

Okay awesome! And the 12g gypsum brew turned out good? No flavour issues from the addition?

Okay I'll have a go at doing it in reverse. Cheers, Also do you know of any risk of adding say 13g of gypsum. It seems allot to me (this is what I require for 300ppm sulfate along with 6g MgSO4)

another question, is the sulfate/chloride ratio more important or how much of each additive more important? for example would it be better for me to have a ratio of 5 or a sulfate level of 300? for a hoppy ipa

So hen i use ez water calculator to get a desired mash ph and chloride/sulphate ratio, i then punch it into beersmith and have the same results, except that beersmith looks at the water color range and stares it as 1-5ebc as the color of the brew recommended for this water profile. and thats...

thankyou all, i have read through all the documents you's have posted and they are all very helpful in getting my head around it all. Does anyone just follow what beersmith spits out in the way of how much of each chemical you should put in your mash? Or is it best to go off on your own and try...

So one last question, My kegs have the Australian one and the plastic pin lock disconnects that are for the american one are unlikely to fit it? if not does anyone know where i can get the stainless Australian one cause i cant seem to find it anywhere, cheers

It would be nice if they made everything the same haha, guess I should have gone for the ball lock to save the confusion, cheers for all your help guys

Yeah I thought that might have been the case, so there's nothing I can really do in the way of an adaptor? Just try send them back and go for the plastic ones?

Hello people of AHB, just been getting a keg set up together for a while slowly buying parts and i decided to go for stainless pin lock disconnects because I heard the plastic ones can break easily. Anyway the stainless pin lock fittings seem to be too big to fit on my keg? I was not aware of...

Thanks heaps for your guidance, I will try these steps for my next brew

Hello, first post here but i've been reading them for a while now. Gave yeast washing a go today from US-05 to see how it works, and i seem to have done a poor job, i can only see a separation between water and slurry. I am unable to see any yeast in the mixture. Can someone point out to me what...
