I'm off to San Jose with work on Monday and have literally about 3 hours of personal time before the pain of work meetings/socials so I'm trying to hit up one or two brewery tap rooms when I get there. It looks like there's a few and just wondered if anyone has been recently and can recommend...

Hi all, Wondering if anyone else has experienced very low mash efficiency when using oats and/or wheat and come up with any solution. I brewed a Verdant style DIPA today which I was hoping to be an 8% brew with an OG of 1.079. I've had previous poor efficiency when using oats and wheat but...

Hi all, I've just picked up a tall larder fridge that I plan to use for controlled temp fermentation via an inkbird. Can anyone recommend a heating tube/other heating equipment that they have used in a similar set up and that has been proven to work well? Need to operate in the 12C to 23C...
