Yeah, 2 yards rushing WTF?

They are not a great team by any means but they seem to find ways to win

Another miracle win by the hawks

Good info. Thank you. I really wasn't looking forward to making an extra full kettle lift anyway! I have two more batches in route to brew next time not too worried. Chugger pumps will be on the way for those batches too. Im not trying to get a hernia!

I had to share. With the craziness of life I have not brewed in over a year and half or so. I even bought a new SB kettle and edelmetal burner that has been untouched until today. Well I was being a space cadet this morning and I am now mashing with my total water volume. :drunk: Good bye...

Come on Lady Luck!!!!

Thanks for the feedback I went and got my self a RT600c pocket thermo. Looks like I'll have to try the tombstone again. That sucks too it was a good brew day. Oh well!

Im relaxed but need some help/advice. I brewed a belgian speciality with 13.5 lbs of pale malt and 2.5 lbs of wheat malt mashed w/ distilled water @ 154 degrees for 60 min. I over shot my volume, batch sparging yielding 7.5 gal of wort with pre boil gravity @ 1.050. I had to boil for 90 min to...

A quick question, this is my first my first time using the abbey ale 1214 from wyeast. I brewed a sort of belgian speciality. I have heard that its a ***** to get it to floc and as you could expect nothing is really settling out in the carboy. Im not worried at all about that as I will follow...
