A nice, smooth 11% Backwoods Bastard!

Oh wow, I wish they shipped that to Minnesota! How is it? to keep on topic: drankin' a Vodka & Fresca :rock: back off-topic: sigh, MN sports team curse strikes again 💩

I'm totally stealing that! :drunk:

Just finished a quick recipe that I brew regularly, and now that I've got my mill straightened out (and tightened down), the OG came out spot on for the first time in months!!! Thanks again, @day_trippr !

Bottled 5 gallons of a Bourbon County Stout clone! Then I made 2 gallons of sugar-wash for a seltzer that my wife requested -- so easy! Only boiled a cup of water (plus 2 grams of fermaid-K), dumped in a full 2 lb package of sugar, and then 2 gallons of distilled water, plus the yeast. Took a...

If it smells (and tastes) fine, it should be perfectly fine. Probably just suspended yeast. For what it's worth, running bottles thru the dishwasher is unlikely to get enough water up inside the bottles to do much, tho the heated drying cycle should definitely sterilize everything. My bottle...

Now compare Ritebrew.com yeast prices to Morebeer or NorthernBrewer! If you're okay with US postal service delivery, Ritebrew will ship a couple of packs of dry yeast for the cost of a postage stamp! update: well shoot, now I don't see the option to snail-mail dry yeast any more...

Thanks, I thought those were tight, but actually, they were just barely finger tight. After I actually tightened it, the gap adjuster ain't moving one bit!

I think it was always fairly loose/easily turned, but it's gotten more noticeable the last couple of times I've used it.

Everything is "tight", except for the actual gap-adjusting part, which spins with very little force. If I bump the mill at all (like when sliding it to the other side of the bucket to use my other arm for a while), it goes straight to it's loosest setting. Bought this mill somewhere around...

I want it to STAY at it's tightest setting (0.025"), but it seems to float around a bit, and seems like this is getting to be more and more of an issue over time. Any ideas?

Sipping a bit of Elijah Craig small batch bourbon on ice... very smoove!

Re-brewed a Bourbon County Brand Stout recipe, bottled an amber ale, poured the new 1.115 wort on top of the yeast cake, and then cleaned up (and mopped the damned floor again). :rock:
