i'd be in on the next buy. low on base grains and looking for some chemicals. thanks!

Chiller still for sale?

do they still have this in???? i was there about 3 weeks ago and they mentioned they were getting the heady "next week". i'll go asap if it's still there. you know what, i'll call...

I'm 85% sure these were my numbers.. sadly, i've monkeyed with my profiles so much over the past few brews that i'm not even sure anymore.. anyways, here's a milk stout.. should've been 8% abv, i got 5%. My OG=1.062 My FG=1.010 Brewer: Me Asst Brewer: Style: Sweet Stout TYPE: All...

thanks folks! i read enough replies & online reviews to indicate it could be a hassle, so i ended up getting a thermoworks little pocket thermometer. execllent reviews, we'll see how it goes. ...and i think i figured out my beersmith profiles. since i noticed i was coming up 1.75g short a...

I'm frustrated and quite frankly, embarrassed. 5 AG brews and it's the same thing over and over. 50% efficiency just isn't cutting it. i have read about 1000 posts on increasing efficiency and have tried so many of those suggestions. checking crush, not stirring enough, cooling wort for...

27th is good for me also. sharing-wise... unfortunately i do not bottle much, but i could bring a growler of something. cant wait to meet you all. where are we doing this and what time?

emailed. in.

that's what i'm looking for. thanks!

i'm new to group buys as i just get all my stuff from lhbs so would someone be able to show me the ropes? i checked the stickies and read the first page of this but i'm a littl confused. is there a catalog and/or spreadsheet of what's available to purchase?

I'd love to get in on the next one
