    Did I kill my strip therm?

    That's good. Mine never worked again. They just turned gray permanently.

    Did I kill my strip therm?

    Soaking them will ruin them. I've been through about 5 in two years. If it still reads the temps you need I wouldn't replace it though. I use the horizontal type so there's no good way to keep it out of the water when the temps are really hot and I absolutely need to use a makeshift swamp cooler.

    What's that on our grain bed?

    That could be the case but I mill my grain at the LHBS so I don't think its that consistent - I always get the mud though.

    What's that on our grain bed?

    My grain bed looks like that every time after a double-batch sparge. No problems at all.

    worried about wyeast

    I definitely support making a starter but I also have to add that I have NEVER had a smack pack swell up like they are supposed to. At best mine get feel like they have a little air in them so its harder to find the inner packet but that's it. They always have healthy yeast but if I didn't...

    First AG Day, 2 Batches, Crappy Efficiency :(

    Can you tell us some more about the second brew? Its really hard to imagine efficiency that low - even steeping I would expect 60%. Is it possible that you were off on the volume or something like that? I see, for example, that you added up t 1 gallon more water in the mash.

    Boulder, Co bars

    I'm not familiar with any place in town that has Rus. River or 3 Floyds on draft. 3 Floyds doesn't have any distribution in Colorado as far as I know. My suggestion is to head over to the Mountain Sun on Pearl St - its between 15th and 16th, just after the street mall ends. Avery's taproom is...

    Avery Brubant

    I just picked up a bottle of this last night after missing their roll out party last week. I'm going to drink it today though, no saving it for me. If anyone is in the Boulder area you should also go up to Oskar Blues and get some whiskey Dale's that they have on tap right now.

    Improving Attenuation

    I would go higher than 65 with the WLP400. BM is right on that 68 is a minimum for that yeast if you want it to be active. With the Wit yeast I would go 68 for the first 24-36 hours then let it ramp up to the low (or even mid-high) 70s to finish out and attenuate fully. I do see that the...

    Dry Hopping in the primary??

    Definitely this. I've done both (secondary and primary) and haven't noticed any real difference.

    How long is too long in the fermenter?

    I would bottle it myself but I plan to secondary only beers that I want to dry-hop.

    How long is too long in the fermenter?

    Have you tasted it? Unless you mean March of 2007 then I wouldn't expect there to be a problem at this point.
