thank god i'm not the only one who learned to convert from oz to grams, and back, in high school "for another reason".
lolz

I learned about combining DME with water to create a slurry before adding to the boil. Haven't tried this yet but plan to give it a shot during my next brew day.

I learned that despite my best intentions I'm going to find it hard to support my LHBS. It's hard to trust someone who says "an airlock? What do you want that for? I don't bother".
I also learned (just now) that the iPad app for reading this forum is seriously lacking in functionality... such as the 'like' feature!
I learned the tip comes off my bottle filler so I can clean the valve, and replace the o-ring and/or spring if necessary.
I did not know that... Does it unscrew, or just pop off and on?
Will need to look when I get home
i learned that having decent beer in the house for 'research' reduces the urge to open bottles of home brew that aren't quite ready yet.
i learned to leave the dayumed bottles alone until "it's time".
it's worth the wait.
- Verify your LHBS is pulling the ingredients you asked for if you hand them a recipe. I asked for light DME, but I didn't notice until brew day that what I got was light pilsen DME. I went with it as I was already invested in a yeast starter.

I learned that WAITING on fermentation SUCKS! I then learned that I have to wait LONGER after its bottled. Oh, waiting...why do you haunt me?
i learned today that the end pops off.
i also learned that there is a little tiny spring in there that falls out into the sink.
i learned that having the sink full of water (or star san), and stopped up, is a very good thing.
oh yeah, before you take it apart, take a good look at it so you know how to put it back together.
let's just consider this a Public Service Announcement.
Sounds like the same components in mine, amazing! lol. The little black valve will come out if you shake the end enough and there's a little o-ring on it.
I learned this thread rocks :rockin:
I learned to cool the wort in the METAL POT w/ a cold bath in the sink and not in the fermenting bucket.
I learned that the above meant the difference between 15 minutes and 6 hours of cooling to the desired 75 degrees
