    Old water bubbler idea?

    My facility is getting rid a a few old water bubblers. Can I use these as some sort of wort chiller? I was the copper tubing wraps arouns kind of like a chiller, but these seem to have aluminum radiator fins. Any Ideas or should I just trash them. Thanks, Jeff

    Hydrometer question

    My hydrometer broke and I couldn't take a measurement before going into the fermenter. I did keep some wort to measure later. My question is, it has been 4 days since I brewed and was wondering if my gravity in my sample would have changed since then? When I get home I will check it out. Thanks

    Strong and dark IPA... is this going to be drinkable?

    This is kind of what I had planned. 6# amber DME 2#Caraamber 2#Pale 2row Barley 2#Corn Sugar I have a ton of cascade that I just dried and was thinking about Norther brewer for bittering. I would use my homegrown hops for aroma and dry hopping. Is this going to taste like Sh%t?:drunk:

    First year cascade in mass not ready?!

    LIke the title says, the vines look good and plenty of cone's to be had. Some look close to being ready, but no aroma and not browning on the edges. I was wondering if anyone in mass is having this problem or is this normal? Thanks
