  Just had this one for two months before the display faded out and a new battery did not bring
  it back. not get it wet or drop it.

  Where are you getting your distilled water? If it's from one of those kiosks at the grocery
  where you fill your own bottles then maybe their activated carbon filters are wore out or not
  functioning pr...

  I too was thinking of making Tripel soon. I'd like to have a thick lacy head on it. I know
  cara-pils or more appropriately the wheat in this recipe will help with head retention. How do
  you make the t...

  Claudius, can you point me in the direction of where to get a pump like that?

  I know what you mean. I'm in the same boat. Plus you want to eliminate oxygen pickup when

  Didn't mean to scare you about infection. It sounds like you are very careful. If you do in
  fact hit 15 IBU you should be just fine. I'm not sure you can make that assumption with a 15
  minute bitterin...

  One other hop related thing to think about. The hops have an impact on biological growth in
  your beer. If you don't reach the desired level of alpha acid you are inviting bacterial
  growth. I had the u...

  I would use the Carafa II special which is the dehusked version. I think this will add enough
  color that you can get rid of the black malt. The rest looks great. I would echo the notion of
