Thanks for the replies. Efficiency is what beersmith calculated for me. Typically I am 75-80%. So I was also surprised with the high efficiency. The boil off is another wild variable. My bk doesn't have markings so I calculated the initial volume based on the depth and radius of it. But it...
Brewed the recipe listed below. Brew day went great. Hit my temps and volumes, but I am thrown off by my gravity readings. I did just get a new refractometer and calibrated it with distilled water. See readings below.
Pre-boil volume: 8.9 Gal
Pre-boil Gravity: 1.048
Post boil Volume: 5.5 Gal...
Brewed a zombie dust clone (AG) two weeks ago. This is the second time brewing it. First batch finished around 1.012. this batch is still at 1.024. I read up on all the situations which can cause a higher than expected FG...But is there any way to ferment the beer out anymore? Can I add more...
Hello,

Check out our latest video! We brew an extract clone of Fat Tire. This is meant to be a simple and straight forward video instruction on how to brew an extract beer. We hope you enjoy it.
Here is the parts list:
5 Gallon Insulated beverage cooler
6' Extension cord or power cable with 3rd prong
Resin Core solder (with higher wattage iron)
1500-Watt 120-Volt Screw-In Type High Watt Density Water Heater Element
Copper nut or short threaded pipe to fit on the heating element (I did...
Great idea! I'll add that to my list of future mods, and maybe even a video. We did use it for an oatmeal stout and it worked like a champ. We will make sure to have a video of it in use. Thanks for viewing!
So my brother and I started up a YouTube channel a couple of months back. We review commercial beers and talk about homebrewing while trying to keep it comical. :tank: We just finished a video which shows how to convert a 5 gallon beverage cooler to an electric HLT. We have also reviewed a few...
