This may be an obvious one to you but I didn't know this until a few days ago. I kept thinking I was getting low og but I was measuring the gravity with hot wort. This throws the measurement off cause hot liquid is less dense than cooler liquid. Your hydrometer is calibrated at 60 degrees...

Ok, sorry for the delay. 2 things, She is getting an exact quote on shipping but it looks like 80-85 shipped. 2nd, she can only ship paddles up to 36" in length. I guess something traumatic happened trying to ship a longer one and she won't to do it again, lol. if it was a local pickup she...

Good point, its digital but I didn't calibrate it. Thank you very much for all that valuable info and your time Kyle, cheers!

www.fortremington.com Thanks for the kind words :) it means a lot to her

Nope I think you are right on Kyle. I didn't realize the temperature adjustment was necessary for gravity readings or made that big a difference on the gravity readings. The 1.020 was an exact hydrometer reading. I pulled up brewzor calculator and found a temperature correction app. The...

That's true, I'll just do it to mine :)

There is a gynocologist near me named Dr. Pillow, something about that makes me chuckle

My bosses' name is Richard Dadeo, that is pronounced daddy-o A couple that come into my work all the time have the last name Heyniger. It is pronounced hey ******. I swear to God, I saw the name on their credit card and had to ask. They are white btw.

Oh wow, good info. The homebrew shop recrushed my grains after noticing I hadn't done it enough. So I hope that's not the issue. My preboil gravity was suppose to be 1.047, I measured 1.020. And that was straight out of the mash tun still hot. I didn't know it would make that big a...

Will do, lol, and she has a site she just doesn't have the mash paddle on there yet, I wanted to give her some feedback from people who know a lot more about brewing than I do before she goes and sells them. I also thought it would be neat to have gallon increments for a sanke keg notched into...

unfortunately this was a batch from the other day I just have been racking my brain trying to see what I did wrong. I just double checked my sheet and it is set for the right batch size. (6 gallons) The efficiency was set at 72 percent.

Lol, my bad, I accidentally hit Send on my phone before I was done typing

I was doing a janet's brown clone as my first legit all-grain batch. I hit 152 degrees exactly, recirculated the wort to run clear at the end of an hour, I drained out my pre boil amount in two drainings as specified by beer Smith. the only thing I can think I did wrong was for got to stir, I...

Thank you for the comments, I'm passing them along to my Mom because she is going to start making these to sell at her booth at the craft shows, any design points you think should go into the paddle please let me know

It is southern cherry
