  @DarwinI control my temps with a digitally controlled deep freezer. The probe is taped directly
  to the carboy. I have never noticed any issues with it not nailing temps. @Manifesto I am aware
  of this ...

  Yes, you are correct. The fermentation schedule is out of BCS. I read after I made the first
  two batches about the need to pitch a lot more yeast when pitching cold which is why I pitched
  4L the next ...

  Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong??I recently started to brew lagers. My third one is
  lagering as I type this. All three have tasted very buttery after primary fermentation and I
  can't figure o...

• Posted in thread: Fermentation Discussion to End All on 11-16-2011 at 02:27 PM
  Everyone, We as homebrewers need to band together and contribute all our knowledge on
  fermentation for the bettering of our obsession. This thread is an attempt to get this ball
  rolling. First, there ...

• Posted in thread: Does BeerSmith 2.0 fix grams/liter issue? on 10-18-2011 at 08:47 PM
  In BS 1.x, if you selected grain mass units to be grams and liquid measurements to be liters,
  the brew sheet would tell you to add 0.00L of strike water to your mash tun. This is because
  the mash rati...

  And don't forget to keep your eyes peeled when you are at the airport. The Savannah airport is
  the headquarters for Gulfstream Aerospace. If you are lucky, you'll see a prototype G650 or two
  on the ra...

  As mentioned before, the Distillery is quite good. Moon river is pretty middle of the road but
  the proprietor is a big supporter of the homebrewers in the area and all the meetings are held
  there. If ...

  I can't comment on 1968, but i have brewed several batches with this 1768 yeast. It is
  wonderful. I can't imagine anything flocculating less: it looks like cottage cheese in my
  starter. This strain is...

• Posted in thread: Does this seem like a lot of gypsum? on 08-10-2011 at 05:12 PM
  Just dug into water chemistry a bit to try to improve my less than stellar ordinary bitters. I
  used the nemograph in the back of Palmer's book to arrive at the need to add 3.5 to 5 tsp of
  gypsum to 5 ...

• Posted in thread: Thoughts on Roger Protz's book? on 07-28-2011 at 01:26 PM
  While reading Ray Daniel's Designing Great Beers, he references a book from the 90s called The
  Real Ale Drinkers Almanac. It sounded like it had a ton of information on I'm assuming British
  ales inclu...
