    RO water filter recommendation

    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 ?

    Hazyness is NEIPA/Hazy IPAs

    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...

    Brewfather and water chemistry

    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 ?

    Brewfather and water chemistry

    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...

    Brewfather and water chemistry

    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...

They mentioned that they sometimes do "brewday demos" but they would not be doing another one until Feb 2020. I am looking for...

    Beginner in Perth looking for advice for equipment, supplies and BIAB

    That’s great advice and I will take all of it, I plan to go to Brewmart and take a look. Regarding BIAB VS Robobrew and grainfather etc, is this the same approach or is it totally different ? I am still researching but am I right to say that you can use the same approach with a single pot/bag...

    Newbie from Perth

    Great advice and I will def read it all. As per my reply to your other post, the Brewzilla is def tempting. I need to go to brewmart and check out how much all of the other bits will be so I can get a total cost of entry. It seems to be that the Brewzilla may only be a couple of hundred...

    Beginner in Perth looking for advice for equipment, supplies and BIAB

    Cool, I will def check out Big W. I would like to start with All grain brewing and from what I am reading, it looks like BIAB could be a decent way to get into it with a very large outlay. All though I have been checking out videos on YouTube about the Brewzilla and it looks good. I will head to...
