This, and if you're really want to view at work use a smartphone. This is what I do, plus you don't have to do the quick click close down.

I need to research before I brew. Why would I brew a style I have never tasted before? This is one of the many reasons I love a "Build Your Own" Six Pack.

Haha, I did this same thing a couple of days ago while my IPA was bubbling away. I love that hop smell.

Can confirm that Franconia is back doing tours on Saturdays.

A trick I learned is to use a hair dryer. Its quicker than boiling and just as effective. After blowing hot air on it for 30 seconds it went on like a charm.

Also (OG-FG)*131=ABV

Looks fine. Next time use a funnel, that should make it a ton easier and quicker.

Brewed the Bee Cave IPA on Saturday. Everything went well so I put the fermenter up and on Sunday afternoon I went to check on it. Much to my surprise it looked like I had barely missed having a blow out. This was strange since in none of previous brews i was close, usually with 1.5 inches to...

9857.5 + 5 Bee Cave IPA = 9862.5

The local breweries that have beer out right now (Peticolas is coming): Rahr - Best known brewery in DFW Franconia - Absolute must since you are in Plano Deep Ellum Brewing Co - New brewery, haven't tried much of their stuff

SWMBO would say Keystone. Incredible cheap, but smooth. Once again she is right.

+ 5 gal of my Seriously Simple Stout 5097.5

Cheers to that! :mug:
