ya i mis read a post on taking a reading, the guy had a thermometer built in to his. well the next brew is gonna be a blonde so i will get this down one of these brews. thanks all for the help.thanks

ya im going economical right now. a cask is in the future.

my thoughts exactly.

i am testing while boiling in a 15g pot with 6g in it, when i say goes to the bottom i mean it goes to the top of the scale. the crush is done by the LHBS. but how would you adjust if its already boiling? extra grain and bag it? yup enough wort. i think i am getting a little up about...

well i have done 2 ag brews. both times i have had bad gravity readings. the hydrometer straight to the bottom it seems. but my one pale all came out great with one taste a week in to condition. so i bought a refractometer for the second brew. its a british bitter, during the boil i got 6...

i want to cask into either the mini kegs or the plastic 1 gallon cubes on northern brewer. my question is if i only want to due half the batch or 2 gallon cube and 3 gallon bottle, how would i figure out the carbonation, or should i do a 10g batch, although its the first time with this recipe...

this would be good to do a 10g batch and split it down to several smaller batches and add different flavors. ya or na

no off meaning taken. i plan on bottleing on sun due to the fermentation came and went

im gonna bottle this weekend end and let it go for a while. it tastes good now;)

whoops!:smack: well guess ill just brew another batch while this one sits. i thought i was wrong. oh well live and learn. and thank you.

i brewed a pale ale on the 10th. beersmith, a recipe that was uploaded, and it said dry hop 3 days. just like that. now how i took this was, primary then in three days secondary for dry hoping. so now that its in the second for 4 days, im wondering if it needs to get bottled now. i dont think it...

so it is safe to say my hydrometer is broke. it gives the same reading for everything. so i bought a refractometer, after fermentation i have 4.5 brix. so that either means i have 2,8% abv or 6.3% if i use the reading from my hydrometer.

i usually talk to myself but not this time, i hit the wrong quote button.:drunk:

ya that's sounds like the plan, thanks.

oh, my idea was to get a base taste sort of, not the whole thing. just to get an idea of what it would come out like. now thinking, that the yeast dries the flavor out some what so it would change.

would it be feasible boil a small sauce pan full of your recipe to test it for flavor? trying to take the guess work out of it.

its biodegradable. put it in a bucket dry it out and make a bird feeder or compost for house plants. it would be the best smelling plant around. or i wonder if you can reuse it to make bread? mmmmmm beer bread. on a more serious note, i used to work in the bronx, depending on your location, if...

Ok, my first beer had a low fg but it deffenently had at least 4.5% abv, taste test of 2 22.oz bottles, wink, now my pale ale is at 1.010 after 4 days. I really think it's not correct, I ordered a refractometer so at least my pre and post boils will be on. Can someone tell me if there is a...

Well i am proud to anaunce that my closet smells AWESOME! but i am still worried about the amount of efficiency i am getting. i am going to invest in a refractometer, not the real pricey one, just one to do on the fly before pitching yeast then the hydrometer after.

ya, thats why i do this at night so there in bed while all the sanitary stuff takes place. well im hoping that its not as bad as i think.
