Has anyone found a replacement for the thermometer that ships with the mash tun that will fit in the existing thermowell? The thermometer with my unit is inaccurate by 3-4 degrees F when compared to two other calibrated units.
Are any of the units available on amazon flashable? I would think it's possible that the units supporting both Fahrenheit and Celsius are programmable if they were flashed to add that feature. For instance, this one, but that may not be the case.
Thanks for the info. Interesting about the color issues causing removal of the Simpson's Golden. I wonder how its removal has affected flavor. Tasting Abrasive from the can this year, it doesn't taste quite the same as a couple of years ago, which I preferred. Thinner body and less bready flavor...
Since you seem to have a contact at Surly, do you have any insight about whether the recipe actually changed or was just incorrectly listed before on their website? Specifically, Golden Promise is no longer listed and that definitely has an impact on the final beer. I've made it before using...
Thanks. I ended up finding the Hops I was looking for at Midwest. Their online availability does not match what they have in the store, where they still have Simcoe leaf hops. So, hops crisis averted.
I want to brew a Hopslam clone along the lines of this recipe:http://lancasterhomebrew.com/2010/06/bells-hopslam-clone-recipe/
Both Midwest and Northern Brewer (my local stores) are out of Amarillo and Simcoe. I haven't seen them in stock elsewhere either.
Any recommendations for good...
