Brewed this on Fri. with 3.5 lbs LME, Notty yeast, and Amber DME (Not sure if Amber is the lightest or middle). Didn't get the OG sample, but it looks great. Can't wait to put this on tap and not get hammered during Football!!
I've used Ferguson Gas in Frisco and it was about $17 for a 2.5lb refill.

It would be closer to me than HBHQ in Richardson. I would definitely go if the products and service were comparable to HBHQ. I hope they have co2 refills.
It was an AHS Partial Mash Harp clone. The OG AHS gave was 1.051 and we of course didn't get anywhere near that, but we are working on that part. We did cool the wort after the boil and then top off with water to create the 5 gals. After mixing (funneling the wort into the carboy) the wort we...
After finishing the boil and cooling the sample my buddy received a reading of 1.040 on his hydrometer. I have been getting low OG readings and decided to use my hydrometer. Using the same sample I stuck my hydrometer in and received a 1.030 reading. I then dumped the sample and added tap water...
