Me!! :mug:

Didn't think to check that, thanks! Then maybe my beer isn't so messed up after all (kidding!). :ban:

See, I'm not talking about just this particular batch. I did a Holiday Ale from Brewer's best that was supposed to be 7-8%, and I think mine ended up to be something like 6.3%. It was a fine beer, but if I'm given a range for alcohol content, I want to be sure my processes are hitting that...

That video must be pretty new.. I've seen several of my friends post it on Facebook. If I could learn how to do half that stuff.....
