I think the lid that I'm using leaks. It came from a different bucket and the seal is to thick for the rim. Any ideas on how to test for air leaks during fermentation?

The OG was 1.060. I haven't taken a FG reading yet since I can still hear it bubbling through the bucket. Sounds like a hot soda being poured into a glass. Once the krausen falls out I'll take an FG reading. Until then I'll let the yeast keep doing it thing.

I have only fermented in buckets and have had great success with them. That said I have never been able to see the krausen mid process. My concern is that I have had zero airlock activity since 4/19 when this extract batch was first brewed but when I put my ear to the bucket I can hear the...

Sorry Zman... I dont think the mobile app sent my PM back to you. Looks like a great reg a great price but Im on a budget :/

29073 thanks!

What price are you thinking shipped?

Is this still up for grabs?

I'm looking for a cheap regulator for my keg setup. Going used since I have a kid on the way. As long as it works I'll be happy. Thanks Honest Abe

I'm looking for the plastic fittings and picnic tap for a pin lock keg. Hoses to go with them would be great! Thanks Honest Abe

Hmm thanks for the info!

Can oats, Specifically ones from Quaker Oats that are unflavored, be used as a main ingredient/base? I have only made one steeped grain extract kit so I don't know what's possible.

I couldn't help myself.

"Where are you at INDIANA" Found it!

OP said a 'bottle' fell out leading me to believe its LME. I would boil it til hot break and then siphon (to avoid oxidation by pouring) it to the fermenter given there is enough room, something akin to the DFH 120 late extract/wort addition. If there is no room in the primary you may be SOL...

I heard of people calling them zymological samples ;) Haven't tried that yet. My box electric motor part labels on it so I said it was a commutator lol

I know that now! However it was a pretty disappointing 15 minutes before I figured out the error :)

I've had a false gravity reading prior to pitching. I was doing an extract kit and added top off water then dropped in the hydrometer. I was off on my OG by 25 points. I scratched my head aerated the wort getting ready to pitch and took one more reading that was spot on. Simply pouring in the...

Looks like a picture from the Hubble Telescope :cheers:

Robert you are correct with my vague answer. (Wort gravity x wort volume including top off water) + (enhancer gravity x enhancer liquid volume) / 2 = OG Like kh54s10 said, if you pitched within the last few hours (pending on yeast an lag time) than taking a gravity reading will be relatively...
