I was on this forum 10 years ago. 10 years ago, I was brewing 2 gallon all grain from my 700 sq ft apartment. I just started brewing again with all new equipment (Anvil 10.5 and blichmann cornical. First brew day was for a competition (crazy right), local brew store, everyone has to brew...

Holy long thread!! I read the whole thing while waiting for my anvil 10.5 to arrive. It showed up last night, hope to brew my first this weekend. 10 years ago I brewed a lot of 2 gallon, all grain batches in my 700 sq ft condo downtown seattle. I now have a 2 bedroom house with a garage in...

WOW I know a refractors isn't accurate for the finished product but I thought it would put me in the ball park and let me see a change in SG. Since this is just a one gallon batch I didn't want to take repeated hydrometer readings and see my volume disappear, or risk infection by sanitizing...
