But it sounds good. Let's us know how it turns out and post details.

I was cheating on hitting the temp compensation higher than it should be. My hydrometer says to add .002 at 66.7 but my temp was 68. So I went with the higher reading.

The only thing I can say is OVERBUILD! I built a bar downstairs next to my pool table and the bathroom next to the hot tub. I became really popular and found myself short on beer and the "other" junk. Make sure your drainage is more then 11/2" and have hot/cold insulated lines. I also made my...

Yeah, thanks for this reminder. A very good point we all should take to heart.

After reading this thread I almost felt saddened. Then I realized I have a great local brew store and extremely knowledgable staff. But when you think about it, if your trying to do something your not use to....ASK A DAMN QUESTION! But I also realize there are people that are only trying to make...

So, today was brew day. I'm doing a fat tire extract but also adding a secondary dry hop for a more hoppy flavor. Started with 3 gallons of water, got the fermentables and hops on, aroma hops were good, and the wort looked really clear. That being said, my OG for my recipe was supposed to be...

Started brewing with the idea that the more "purer" the water the better tasting and less bs you have to worry about "taste" I worked for AB, albeit a mechanical roll, they were concerned with pure water. What is wrong with distilled and what should we look for?

Mark, keep in a cool area (64* to 72*) and check on it after 5 days and check every day. When you see that bubbles stop coming out of you air lock, your fermentation is done and ready for bottle/kegging. And to answer your other question, KEG YOU BEER! There are some beers you will bottle...

:confused: if your using distiller water, it should be absolute zero. Why would you want to change that? Watching this thread to further my education.

As. Noted above, you can make one yourself for around $25 on the low end to one that I saw where he made it from a large rock and some wood. Said he spent 3 years making it..... Mmmmk. After making my own and talking with all my experts and reading forums, the best size to work with is double...

The wildlife in the backyard love me! I just toss my spent grain behind the shed where all the deer hang out. The rabbits love it as well.

Got it to finally load on my S3. It was my fault as my security settings were on super high since I was out of the country. :o Great app. I was wondering if there was a repository of recipies to download? Already have added a few of my own and this app makes for a great shopping list. No more...

The OG was taken after the chiller did its work @ 70*. The recipe said the OG was supposed to be 1.053 and a final around 1.020 I didn't stir the wort very well which is why I believe the OG was off. I was just curious if there is a way to get the ABV reading after completion. I thank you all...

Made my list, heading to my brew store in the morning. :D

So, I am using an extract kit called a machinac red. White labs yeast, Amber LME, crystal hops. Brewing went well and had no issues during the cook process. The recipe called for using only 2.5 gallons of water during the cook and add the final water at the end right before adding to the carboy...

SHMBO peeked at what I was reading... Said a big fat no. So now I have to find out the true cost and do an analysis and see if I can sneak on in. Rofl!

RETIRED! But I was a general contractor with 25 guys specializing in odd voltage and DC systems. Before that I was a systems administrator specializing in sun Microsystems. EE and MBA. But thanks to my new passion, my "I love me wall" is now holding plans for my next furniture project and my...

Seriously, I will install and test in the morning. I have to reinstall my os. 😫 I got carried away with trying to use Apple apps. 😎

ROFL! This is a country song remade. Nice!
