You'll have a blast! I really enjoyed Boston when I visited and Fenway is quite an experience for any baseball lover.

Just delete that one from the portal and re-register it. Mine flaked out after initial registration and I deleted and re-registered and it has been rock solid since.

1) unless you plan to pour a HUGE sample, there is sufficient pressure to not worry about negative pressure. 2) not at 10 psi. 10 psi is around serving pressure for most beers at fridge temps. If your unitank is at room temp 10psi is only a light carbonation. 3) I don't think I have ever seen...

Yeah! I found mine has a bit of a light “saison” element to it (though for me it is one of the elements I like in the finished beer, granted it was not expecte). I accidentally had it a bit warm for first day or so of fermentation (couple degrees F over recommended max) and blamed it on that...

Sunday one batch, Monday another (you do have two of those milk jug fermentation vessels right?) You're welcome.

Won a contest that my flhbs was running. Got a six pack of a collab beer they did with a local brewery as well as a 5 gallon all grain ingredient kit they made to brew said beer myself and a t-shirt. Now I just have to drive over there to pick it all up! Oh, and to pay karma back, I helped my...

Without seeing chart my guess would be that it “started” with a reading from your holding it at an angle giving a super high reading. I always throw the rapt in and start a new fermentation profile an hour or two after everything has stabilize. If you don't want to make a fermentation profile...

count me in, these controllers are great!

It is a hybrid yeast with kveik as one of the strains so the kveik twang makes sense and is something i picked up on as well. I was experimenting and was decently pleased with my results as an experiment, but am in the same boat that I don't know as to whether I would use again, and if I did, I...

Damn!!! Hope you don't have a riding mower with a lawn mower beer coming in just shy of 7%!

Peeps in the US interested in the rapt pill should look for Canadian homebrew shops that deliver to US. Price at most is $80 cdn so if shipping is less than $50 cdn would be cheaper than Ali and would be way quicker as well...

1oz each of saaz and perle mixed in with the grains for 60 minute mash (so also removed with mash). 1oz Each cascade and simcoe for a 20 minute hopstand at 180. Easy as pie!

It ended up pretty decent. I think for a future brew I would go ahead and use it to compliment finishing hops instead of being star on it's own, but I really wanted to see what it did on it's own first. Fermentation basically wrapped up in three days and attenuated to 81% giving me a 7.5% abv...

Pre-ordered a pack from my flhbs when it was first announced and got around to brewing with it on weds. Have to say this yeast is a beast! According to my pill it has chewed through 6.78% abv in 48 hours with 6.2% of that being in the last 24 hours. The smells coming from the airlock are so...

Friend who was interested in brewing came over yesterday and we brewed an experimental ipa with escarpment labs thiol libre. Bunch of saaz and perle in with the mash and some cascade and simcoe in the whirlpool, no dry hop planned. Escarpment Labs warns that testing has found some unwanted...
