I'm in!

Signed up yesterday. Very excited to be going. Expensive, I agree, but I'm optimistic I'll see that as money well spent in hindsight.

So excited this is in Minneapolis! With family there and it an acceptable distance away from home, I can swing the cost of attending finally! Thanks for letting me vent! :mug: CANNOT WAIT!

I have both a Blichmann and an Edelmetall burner. In all honestly I notice little difference in the two performance wise. The Edelmetall has a second adjustment valve that allows for mico adjustments to the flame if that's something you think you would need. I like it but don't really adjust...

Sorry for the confusion...I usually adjust by topping off during the boil rather than the fermenter...which is before I take my OG reading. The attenuation not being affected would be correct, which is why I love this site...I learn every time I'm on it.

Your plan sounds like a good start. Don't forget that the regulator shouldn't "fall." Before opening the regulator valve or manifold, make sure the CO2 tank is connected and open. Then open the regulator valve to you desired pressure. Then open the manifold as needed. This should...

I set and forget. I have a manifold on the inside of my keezer so I can turn off/on individual lines if needed, but I generally leave the regulator alone if it's stable. If all your connections are secure and your quick disconnects good, and your posts/poppits...etc, you should not be loosing...

If your gravity held for multiple days at 1.012 then I would say the fermentation is finished. The lower finishing gravity you experienced just means that the yeast fermented the beer a little dryer. In fact I think your ABV would be up... Assuming you hit the OG, you should be at around 6.5%...

Same...my wife is a stay at home mom, but that doesn't mean I'm not involved with the kids. I'm heavily involved from when I get home from work through bath time...then she puts one to bed while I put the other down. We try to listen to each other's needs and step up when the other needs some...

I'm late to the party and don't have anything more valuable to add than what's already been said. But I do have these two pictures from a recent 24-Hour brew day I completed. (YES...24 hours brewing 3:00 am to 3:08 am next day) I have an understanding SWMBO who should be sainted...but...

Planning to brew this Saturday...will stay in touch.

I'm typically around 74-75% with my setup...and I'm happy with that. Consistency is important for recipe calculation.

I LOVE you guys/gals!! After a couple months of study and musing, I completed my brewpi. So I HAD to brew yesterday to test it out. OMG! I'm using phrases like "OMG!" So excited, and so worth the couple headaches along the way. I put my temp sensors on a single RJ45 I had left over from...

10 year second grade teacher, now a Director of Environmental Science.

I'm in it...please.

It was a great time. I'd definitely do it again. I'll need to spend some time learning more about equipment, safety, etc... and do it right next time. I really did enjoy the experience.

Here's a shot I took from the first stop showing the entrance at the top.

Let's see...today is Monday... 2 days! lol, was first time. Very stupid move, as I already admitted.

I would like to print one of these too! Thanks and it looks great!!

I spent Saturday in Decorah, IA with a good friend of mine. We visited Toppling Goliath\'s Taproom and sampled full pours of just about everything on tap. Got to hang out in their test kitchen with the owner for a bit and talk about their small batch testing procedures. Had a delicious...
