So my last two brew days were stressful as hell. First my dial thermoms wouldn't stay in calibration. Then I bought a nice floating thermom which broke halfway through the brew day. I am tired of the crappy thermoms. Could some one recommend a good digital thermometer? Thanks

So I want a way to take volume measurements in my keggle. I thought that a dip stick wouldn't be best because of the curved bottom, and it gets hot in there. I was thinking I could take a screwdriver and wack dents into the side for every 1/2 gallon or so. Anybody else have good suggestions?

So I am just getting into all grain again... So I am dusting off my carona mill and I am going to rejig it. What is a good gap starting place for a carona mill if I am using a SS braid and batch sparging? Thanks,

I got my inline water filter to work without leaks. And I got my frist hop sprout. Yea!! :ban: Now if the weather would clear up here in Washington I am gonna brew!:mug:

So I just went to Oly Supply and got the parts for a bulkhead fitting for my mash tun. The only adapter I could get for a 3/4" nipple to my 1/2" ball valve was a red brass bell. Any reason not to use red brass for a mash tun? It is my understanding that red brass just has more copper in it...

So I kegged my Irish redish beerish thing the other day (it didn't turn out great but it fills a keg). I guess I had had a little too much homebrew cause I checked to make sure I reassembled everything correctly then shoved the out disconnect on the in post. :drunk: I have done this before...

I started my first lager about three weeks ago. It is a Octoberfest OG ~1.043. I had it in the primary for two weeks and racked it last weekend. I smells alot like creamed corn. Will this aroma go away or am I stuck with a corny beer? Perfect natural lagering - In Oly, WA when I started...
