I do enjoy 60 minute IPA, myself. Since you know so much about it, do you have a clone recipe that you'd recommend?

Very true. I had a new GFCI installed for a new outlet for my brew system. It tripped instantly, and while I didn't think the system was at fault, but it seemed odd that a brand new GFCI would be bad. And yet, it was. Everything worked fine after that faulty GFCI was replaced.

I see what you did there 👍

At least you know what you're dealing with. If it were my lawn, I'd just be complaining about all the "not grass" in my lawn. 😄

You, sir, have found yourself a keeper!

I haven't done it, myself... and I don't know how you'd do the calculations -- you'd probably have to wing it and just keep checking the gravity, but... At least one brewer I know has mashed and sparged with wort (instead of water) to create a big beer. I think it was a barley wine in this...

That's where I recognized that from!

I'm seriously considering an RO system lately. I've been trying to learn more about adjusting my water, and it just seems like building the water from scratch is a lot easier, especially for a few specific styles.

I brew in the garage, but with both overhead doors open, so it's almost outdoors. 😁 I do have the option of closing them if the weather isn't ideal.

Welcome, from your neighbor to the south!

Wouldja believe there was a Zymurgy article on brewing with cicadas 20 years ago? "By May 22, Marler had accumulated enough cicadas to brew 12 gallons of barleywine, which he called CicadAle."

But that patina on the inside of my brew equipment is how I achieve my house terroir!

Welcome! This is a great community and I'm certain you'll learn a lot! Have fun... it's a great hobby 🍻

Welcome! That's a beautiful bar!
