They wouldn't do it. Ended up at place in PVD

Got my 15lbs Grizzly last week. It has metal gears.

I understand it's the same unit and you can get the metal gears as a replacement part from LEM.

Ordered the 15# Grizzly the other day. KitchenAid was just not doing it. Too much effort and meat texture too mushy.

To answer some questions. I'm using BeerSmith, batch sparge, used both a refractometer and hydrometer. 2nd batch was the first time I used refractometer so I checked against hydrometer. Did adjust for temps with hydrometer and I did calibrate refractometer(I think correctly). I'm a carpenter and...

I'm into my second AG brew and will start my 3rd in the next couple of weeks. First batch(black ipa) didn't collect much data but seem to hit most of the numbers(mash temps & OG) 2nd batch(kolsch) collected more data. Hit mash temps and volumes but not pre-boil or post-boil SG's. I understand...

This is one of my biggest reason I brew. Perfection is based on your rules. Change a recipe, try a different yeast, ferment at different temps. If it tastes good, drink it.

I brewed a black ipa a while back and kegged it. A tap into it the other day and what do I see, hops floating around. Not sure where things went wrong. Will this settle out over time? It's been kegged for 4 weeks, I'd think that would be more then enough.

Well, after 81 views and no comments, I think it's good to go.

I've done cherry stouts before and add 1lb/gal cherries. I use the frozen ones for market.

Used bottled O2 in both buckets. Just popped lid it has a krausen so I guess all is ok just not a active as other bucket.

Made a 1L starter for a 10gal batch of black ipa. Split the wort into 5gal buckets. "Eyeballed" 50% of starter into each bucket. 24hrs later one bucket bubbling away, other bucket nothing. Pop the lid a see what's going on? Give it a gentle stir? Move to warmer area? Any...
