Extract brewer.

How much water does a wort chiller use? Our immersion chiller recycles ice water because it uses a pump and not just the faucet. You could go that route and you would only be using about 4 gallons of water probably. We keep some ice stocked and throw the ice in there to cool the water back down to freezing. Works like a charm but you have to put in a small amount of cost up front for the pump. |

Planning a trip, which breweries should I go to? At least make this wiki. There isn't an answer to this question. |

Is an immersion chiller really necessary? I can tool my wort to 100F in about 5 minutes with our immersion chiller |

What to do when gravity comes out too low? We dried it off and tried it several times. We have had it calibrated using distilled water and it reads zero. I don't know the formula for adjusting for temperature but I'm willing to bet it doesn't make that big of a difference. Our gravity wasn't even remotely close to what it should have been. |

What to do when gravity comes out too low? @jsled I will have to get back to you on the details. They're written on the instruction sheet at home |

What to do when gravity comes out too low? I do not think the volume of water had an effect. We tested it with a refractometer before adding any water and it was still really low. We also filtered out the hop pellets/chunks while pouring into the carboy using a screen. I haven't tried DME before but I will try to have some around in case this happens again |

Should I test my water? I can't quite pinpoint the taste. It's not bad unless it's too strong though. Some of our beers don't seem to have it at all. |

Carboy Cap vs. Stopper Caps are nice if you like to keep a thermometer in the beer |

Alternatives to a hydrometer? Why are you putting it in such hot/cold beer? Wait until it is room temperature |

What is a wort chiller? Interesting. I never thought of putting it in while it was still boiling. I always just Starsan'd it |

What software do most brewers use? What type of brewing are you doing? How many people are involved? Please provide details when asking a question |

Is there a standard siphoning hose size? Good idea. I was thinking a zip-tie would also work |

High-gravity beer stored too cold to carbonate during bottle conditioning. How can I carbonate this beer? I just realized you are using a different account with the same name. If you would have used your original account then you could have edited the question and made comments, etc |

High-gravity beer stored too cold to carbonate during bottle conditioning. How can I carbonate this beer? Hi Bill. Since this website isn't quite like a forum, you shouldn't have posted this comment as an "answer". In the future it would make more sense to edit your original question with this information or put it as a comment on the correct answer. |

5 or 6 Gallon Glass Carboy We learned the hard way to start with a 6+ gal fermenter. You end up losing a lot of beer during fermentation if you go with anything less (and plan to end with 5gal) |
