I should have mentioned, my OG numbers have not changed. I even over pitched the last beer I just kegged today, fearing something was off there. It was in primary for 3 weeks and another 6 days after dry hop. Granted, the GF is different than my cooler set up, but my numbers for OG, have been...

Is anyone having issues hitting final gravity? I’ve been brewing all grain for about 6 years with cooler mash tun and batch sparge. I was always within a point or 2 from fg on the couple hundred brews I did over that time, some high, some low, most, spot on. Since getting the grainfather in the...

Just throwing a thought out there that I haven't seen mentioned, so I'd though I would ask. What are you cleaning your bottles with? You say they are spotless, then sanitized, but is it possible you are leaving some residual cleaner in there before you sanitize? Also, check the source of the...

My method, that seems to work really well for me has always been to just dump the hops in the fermenter. Then I cold crash, then just wrap a little piece of sanitized paint strainer bag around the bottom of my autosiphon and hold it in place with a sanitized rubber band. A good cold crash drops...

Brewed 2 beers over the last couple of weeks. 1373.3 + 6 gallons Red IPA + 6 Gallons APA _______________ 1385.3

Yeah, my wife has already pointed out to me how well it seems the two go together. Sippin' on Suds while racing slot cars.

Working on that, I don't have a GoPro right now. The little micro keychain spy cameras would probably work best though, to make sure it gets under the overpass ok.

19,916 + 6 Citra IPA +6 APA ________ 19,928

These are the lager, or I should say medium sized ones, 1/32 scale. And the track doesn't work with magnets, since the power rails are copper tape, so mine aren't stupid fast. Here's an example of one of the cars, they are about 5 inches long and 2 inches wide or so.

The deal when we bought our house 20 years ago, that the basement was mine. Mainly would be for beer and slot cars. Well, 20 years goes by and I did get the beer thing going at least. This past September, I finally pulled the trigger and decided to get building. It really cut into my brewing...

14626 + 6 gallons pale ale 14,632

11,698 + 5 gallons _________ 11,703

I don't bottle, so take my advice for what it's worth. I do notice though, after a month or so on tap, my IPA's hop profile will fade a bit. I never have 2 IPAs on tap at once, so it's hard to judge how similar they are tasting at that point. Anyways, here is what I would try. Go about 7-10...

My main reason for going all grain is the control I have over a recipe. You can get more precise tweaks with all grain that are just not achievable with extract. You definitely can brew great beers with extract, but I feel more in control with all grain. And to be honest, even though my brew...

I don't despise crystal malts like a lot of people do, but in this recipe I agree with those who say reduce it to 4% or so. You just don't have the hop profile, imo to counteract that much sweetness. I like rhys333's suggestion best, 95% two row and 5% Vienna would make a nice golden ale. That...

7031.5 + 6 pale ale + 6 IPA __________ 7043.5

Double brew day for me. Basic pale ale on the session side for summer and a mostly citra IPA.

Right, because everyone who speaks a non-English language pronounce all English words perfectly.

Personally, I'd just go back to back with the brews. I do it a couple of times a year and if you time it right, only adds 2 hours to the brew day. The key is to start the second mash with 30 minutes left in the boil of the first batch. Also make sure you have everything prepped for both...
