Thanks, I figured it was fine. I just freaked when I saw the open lid on such an amazing beer.

I took a hydro on my citra IPA last night, 9%! I guess i left the lid cracked on my ale pale. I went to dry hop it tonight, with you guessed it more citra, The lid was open! Is this beer oxidized? gravity last night was 1.010.

I have a big porter that I pitched yesterday afternoon, today I come home from work to a blown off lid. I assume at least 6 hours without a lid. What should I do with this beer? Should I let it ferment normally, or turn it into a sour porter? Yeast used was Nottingham. I expect some off flavors...

Sorry 3 lbs of DME

I have a porter that has been in the primary for 3 weeks. I have done 3 hydro tests in the past 5 days and got the same reading of 1.015. I was expecting a FG of 1.012. Should I bottle?

I glued down the caps with just plain school glue, then grouted with black tile grout and finished the top with http://eti-usa.com/consum/envtex/envlite.htm

I recently did a 2' x 8' bar top with bottle caps and epoxy resin. I suggest using black tile grout between the bottle caps before pouring the resin.
