    Easy & Cheap Stainless Vent Hood

    So I got some videos from yesterday's brew. I'm wondering if I'm boiling to hard. I've a like a strong boil but since the move to electric I might be going to hard. I couldn't get a shot of inside the kettle boiling because of poor lighting and steam. What percentage is everyone running there...

    Do you mill outside or inside?

    Stuck Fermentation SG 1.034!!!!

    Bummer this didn't work out. I had a few friends asking about this brew. What if I just keg it and carb it? Is it worth a shot or should it just go down the drain? I haven't had to dump a batch yet and it might bring a tear to my eye to do so.
