    Microscope Hemocytometer grid not visible

    Small cylinder at 40x objective is touching cover glass, so it pulls in when focusing. Not sure is it fine to do that but even then I still can't focus. Strange thing is that when using cover glass as base it focus pretty well, so my doubts are on hemocytometer thickness but probably I'm wrong...

    Microscope Hemocytometer grid not visible

    It shows fine image when using cover glasses without hemocytometer. I tried to put sample on one glass and cover it with other and it is fine. Could it be that hemocytometer thickness is the problem?

    Microscope Hemocytometer grid not visible

    Hi, I recently bought a microscope Kern OBS 116 for yeast cell counting: https://www.stoxxparts.com/en/transmitted-light-microscope-kern-obs-116-15002711001/ The problem is that hemocytometer grid is visible only on lowest (40x) magnification: After changing objective to 100x magnification...

    Just uploaded my ebook "A Good Hobby, Mashed: A Journey from Homebrewer to Craft Brewery Owner"

    I just finished reading it and can say that it is honestly written book that describes how one big dream can go in either way. Also, very interesting conclusion about craft industry future at the book epilogue. Highly recommended read, no matter do you plan to invest in brewing yourself or not.

    Canning: How to keep cans under pressure

    I don't think they are pressurised, at least not like bottles are. Your best bet is to ask on Probrewer forum.

    Put this fermentation/conditioning schedule in the right order

    I like them fresh, so for standard OG I'll go this route: A. Primary 2-3 days B. Dry hop 3-4 days C. Cold crash 2 days D. Keg and carb

    Going back to bottles (Kind Of)

    I returned to bottling after few years of kegging. Maybe it is odd, but despite the hassle with cleaning/filling, for me it's nice to have bottles in fridge or for friends giveaway, also my keezer is in basement so it's a bit pita to always go from 1st floor downstairs for a pint (after a few...

    When do you aerate wort?

    Aerate before fermentation starts, before or after adding yeast whatever you prefer. If you top of with water, as said aerate after adding water, especially if you boiled it before since it lost some O2 with boiling.

    Clogged drain line on Mash tun

    Hard to tell from here, I had clogged mlt when doing decoction, due to high mash temperature. It could be false bottom or mlt design, too fine grist, mash temperature.. any changes from usual setup?

    Strange foaming issue

    That is what I thought so I de-gassed kegs until beer was almost flat, then set CO2 and carbed it again. Same thing appears. @stratslinger I would have this problem right after 1st pour if there was o-ring missing, but since first few days pour was good I don't think the problem is in o-rings...

    Strange foaming issue

    OK, for the first time I have keg foaming problem. System is well balanced, it is not new one, actually I made it few years ago and it served me well in the past. I have couple of kegs that's been maturating for ~14 months so I decided its time to clear them out. So I set them in keezer and...

    Automated HERMS system

    Awesome build and pic. What did you use to fix and secure kegs with stand and are you satisfied with it? Thumbscrew with nut or..? Picture would be great.

    First Beer - Primary Time?

    It depends on OG and a recipe, for a standard gravity (eg <1.060) I leave it 2 weeks in primary and then keg/bottle.
