I brewed a Munich Helles and almost had a perfect brew day but my pH meter died. Oh well, I'm sure it will still come out good!

I'm brewing a Belgian pale ale that I plan on adding hibiscus after fermentation. I can't wait for this beer to be ready!

I just finished brewing a munich helles! It took a little longer because I was using my new rims system for the first time. Everything went good!

I just finished brewing a Marzen!

Count me in!

In, thank you!

I'm doing a five gallon batch of a marzen!

You know, I don't know if it's just me imagining things but every since I started using FermCap S, I noticed that the head retention of my beers has improved a lot. I haven't done any side by side brews to compare and prove it, though.

I agree with everybody else, I just use enough vodka to cover whatever I'm using. Most of the time I only use like 1-2 oz max, so 2 cups is way too much in my opinion.

Once alcohol is present, it messes up with the readings of the refractometer and you're supposed to do a correction. You can find them if you google them, but I've never used them and instead use a hydrometer. I use a refractometer just to check my pre-boil and boil gravities just to make sure...

I'm brewing one tomorrow morning, but I will roast the pumpkin before adding it to the mash! Nice recipe!

I will be brewing a pumpkin ale on Saturday, pumpkin everythinggggggg!!!!!

Wow!! Your set up is amazing! Man, I really like what you've done here! Very nice!!

I used to leave my beers in the fermenter for 3 weeks back in the days. Then I started taking gravity readings more often and realized that some beers are done fermenting in less than a week sometimes. So now after they're done fermenting I only leave them in the fermenter for a couple of days...

I'm brewing a pale ale to test the crush of a grain mill I bought.
