I notice that this thread is about 4 months old, but I just acquired on of the same PID's that I will be using for my fermentation control. When I get it done, I will post my stuff here, unless you have already found it, in which case, can you post it? :)

I like that teabag idea. Im gonna do that. I just had them removed today (all 4. 3 were impacted :( ) I need a beer.

Thank you for the responses. I'm not really worried about it. I was just curious why the gravity readings would be so far off. More for a learning experience than anything. Are you saying to use the original recipe's OG in Beersmith? Or just use the recipe's OG for my notes? Though now, they...

I have a variation of Cascade Log Jam Pale Ale sitting in the fermenter right now. Its about to go into a secondary for 5 days, with a dry hop addition and then bottled and conditioned for around 2 weeks. Now, Beersmith reports that my est OG should have been 1.059. I measured 1.034 going into...

Im a little nervous. My OG before pitching was 1.034. Im not sure why it was so much different. I also added 3/4 lb Corn Sugar to the initial boil. Gonna be an interesting one. :) Ill keep ya informed.

Im going to brew this tomorrow. I had to make some substitutions though as the LHBS didnt have everything. These are my substitutions. 3lb Amber DME, 3.3lb Amber LME and WLP041 Pacific Ale Yeast. Their brew software reported an estimated OG of the same as orginal recipe. I may have to do some...

This recipe looks amazing to me! But im a little worried about this. I might need to tell the gf to go stay at her moms for a couple days ;) Quick question: how long for the steep?

Im glad you made this topic. My last batch a large amount of trub. Maybe 1/4" in the bottom of most of the bottles. I accidentally dipped the racking cane when transferring to my bottling bucket so I assumed thats where it came from. This was only my second batch so im still figuring everything...

Bullish! A few months ago I was running an oil re-refinery and surfing the WoW forums! It can be done! That being said, it was a pretty lax environment at that time. It has since gotten a lot more professional; my work attitude too. :)

Im sorry, off topic but HAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

What Atonk said. Im a newbie too. 2nd batch in the fermenter right now. The thread below kind of put my head at ease. Someone said to me once, "You shouldnt believe everything that you think." It seems that applies to home brewing also... who woulda thunk? :) Read -...

I believe that would be a globe valve. It seems to me that would cause a large amount of turbulence with fluid flowing through it. (Detrimental or not, i dont know...) Ball valves match the ID of the valve body (typically) and thus, dont have the turbulence a plug/gate/butterfly/etc. valve...

Thank you for the replys. I took a gravity reading last night 5 days in: 1.022. Hoping to bottle probably next weekend. After the taste last night, Ive got some high hopes! I pitched dry because my packet didnt say anything about rehydrating. I think next time around I WILL rehydrate as it...

Ill second that! I love Lagunitas! I just had the lucky 13 alt or whatever its called over turkey last night :)

Hey all. Last sunday I brewed up my second batch of beer. Everything seemed alright save for the fact that it seemed like i had less wort after brewing than I did the first time around. After talking to the guy at my LHBS (Local Home Brew Store?) about what I wanted to change with the...
