The wand is glass :)

Demonstrated

So I came up with an idea for measuring the boil off amounts during a session. - kettle - exact measurement for your increments - bottling wand (spring loaded) First, fill your kettle by increments one by one you would like to measure by, then marking the wand after each increment. (Fill in 1...

I understand such. Thank you for clarification though. I was simply stating my location and style preference to start on the thread.

I'm sorry maybe it is I that missed something. I'm just going off of direction from the original/beginning post for this thread.

Question to the moderator of this thread. Any way we can trade homebrew with fellow members? That would be awesome! Not only for an unbiased opinion but for satisfaction and enjoyment of sampling a fellow brewers haul from hard work, just like yourself!
