I'm half way thru my triple batch day. Batch 1 is chilling, 15 gallons of bitter. Batch 2 is boiling, 5 gallons of porter. Batch 3 will be 10 gallons of American Brown. Things are going very well!

Has anyone tried this? Comments? Reviews? Is one packet really enough for a five gallon batch?

Ingredients / Burton water

To start, my chemistry is mostly forgotten  (been 30+ years since college chemistry) so talking in moles is foreign at best. If I start with DI water,in what quantities do I add what to make this water? I'm wanting to make some historic IPA. Any water recipes?

General Homebrew Discussion / Competition Ethics

I made a melomel with 7 kinds of fruit, two of them dominate, a few are subtle, a couple very faint. The guidelines say one should enter with all fruits listed, would you enter it that way. I can see the scoresheet, "could barely taste fruit 6" minus 10 points on flavor. What would you do?

We took our standard fermenter at work and copper plated the outside. Gives my Pub room a bit of class!

Can some one in the "know" put some numbers on these terms. At how many volumes does petillant become sparkling?
