I went against my usual SOP and went cheap with this one. Less than a hundred bucks from lord Amazon. AmScope M150C-PS25. That image was only 400x. Figured I'd see how this one worked and what i used it for besides going to to the next level, which can cost as much as a nice conical.

First run wasn't great but wasn't bad. Lot of new tools and rusty techniques. I over diluted and found my measurement instruments aren't very accurate. Also the instructions I followed i think called for about 100x as much methylene blue as was actually needed. The samples were so stained it was hard to see.

 

[NitrogenWidget]

lb of centennial

Easy dens.

Is that a "U" tube densitometer? Where did you get it & how much? Did it come with a spec sheet?

Brew on

Yes. It's from Anton paar. Spent more than I would like to admit (544 after tax and shipping)

Came with a calibration certificate. Not sure about a spec sheet.

Supposed to be accurate to 0.3 Plato.

Just finished putting it all together and did the wet run test. Everything worked like a charm. Will spend sometime this weekend figuring boil off and run it through its paces again to familiarize myself a bit more before attempting a brew.
When you figure your strike temp how much of a drop do you usually get because of the cofi filter over and above the normal drop from the grains ?

 

[NitrogenWidget]

32$ shipped.
needs a cleaning but if it all works good. great deal I think.

I usually set my strike temp 2 degrees above mash and it works itself out over a few minutes of recirculation.
