Refractool. Is a great app to convert refractometer readings to hydrometer readings post fermentation.

Just finished carbing mine and tried it last night. Great beer, the lime flavor is perfect not too strong. My wife says I need to keep that one on tap for her all the time.

I'm at 1 week today and I took a gravity this morning and it was 1.009. Going to check it again tomorrow if it's the same I think it's done also.

Brewed this beer a week and a half ago and since I couldn't find the right hops in time to brew I went with cascade, centennial and Amarillo, us-05 repitched yeast and the lime aid after two days of fermentation. Just tasted it out of the primary! Omg that's a great beer!

Ok thanks. I buy my 2 row by the 50 lb sack but the pilsner malt is expensive to buy by the lb.

Can you substitute 2 row pale for Pilsner malt. Will my Saison taste like a Saison?

Thedavid, Congrats again on your win. BEST OF SHOW IS AWSOME! Especially first time entering! I entered my IPA about a month ago in a local BjCP tasting not a competition though. It was my first entry and I scored a 34.5 so I tweaked it slightly using the comments of the judges. Now I'm...

I live in Galt Near Sacramento, quite a drive to pick up the scoresheets.

I e-mailed Gabe last night and he said that he posted the results on the home brew club web site but you have to be a home brew club member to see the results. I'm hoping he will e-mail me or just mail me the judges comments on the two beers I entered. I entered an IPA and a honey wheat.

Ok I also put two of my beers in competition but couldn't attend the contest. Do you have any idea how I can find out how I did? I would like to see my scores. Great job by the way!

Anybody out there put beer in the Battle of the brews home-brew competition? (Santa Rosa Ca.) if so do you know when we will get results and where do we find the results?

Ok great thanks everyone. I thought that was the way to do it but I had a guy tell me to lower the pressure to about 5 psi so it doesn't foam up so much when you pour. Seemed to me you would eventually loos your carbonation when you pull glasses from that keg.

Have my beer kegged and carbonated. I heard you are suppose to lower the co2 down to serving pressure? What pressure is that?

Haha that's great!

I think there's a problem with your water volumes. I also BIAB and with 12 lbs of grain you should have only lost about a gallon of water to absorption. If you started with 7.3 gallons for strike water you should have ended with roughly 6.3 gallons before boil. With a loss of 1.5 gallons at...
