Thanks much for the info.

I use RO water but a few friends don't and I've gotten one of them to get a sample to Ward Labs and they got this: pH 7.7 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Est, ppm 305 Electrical Conductivity, mmho/cm 0.51 Cations / Anions, me/L 5.7 / 5.4 ppm Sodium, Na 35 Potassium, K 3...

I waited, watched and learned then brewed a tasty IPA with lots of late hops and dry hopping. It's very enjoyable. Is it the best beer I've ever brewed? No but its damned good and everyone who's had it likes it..... a lot! It's citrusy and has absolutely no off flavors. I used Hornindal...

I don't use mine often but it does have a slight order. I've used some baking soda in it for a full day then 2 days of PBW and it really removes a lot of it. As mentioned, never affected the taste of any beer fermented in it.

I was worried too and after going electric and not wanting to spend more time cleaning the element plus wanting clearer beer in the fermenter, I started using one and I can't tell one bit of difference at all. I really thought I would.

I bought an extra cable but kept the original in perfect condition. I sent it back and he repaired it for free in 1 day! I was certainly willing to pay for it.

I almost spit out my beer laughing so hard!

A couple more days in, the citrus is definitely showing itself. Seems a bit drier too. Not a complex taste but still very enjoyable.

That sounds about right depending on how hard you boil. I have the 15 gallon and it's usually 1.25 gallons an hour.

I just starting drinking by first Hornindal brew but I over built the starter to use on another beer but haven't just yet. I've read that some think it should be just fine but I can say that the taste of mine has changed almost every time I'll pull a pour. Not in a bad way at all but it's...

I have a small utility room I can only get to from the back of the house. It's basically a water heater closet with enough room for some shelves and my keezer. It's not temperature controlled. I left 6 gallons of Hornindal beer on top the keezer for 2 days at about 94, wrapped in a blanket. By...

7 days in the fermenter, 2 in the keg and man, this one is good. It definitely likes Citra, Cascade, Simcoe and Amarillo as do I. Fermented about 94-96 and if not for the dry hopping and cold crash, it would have been ready on day 3. Just can't wrap my mind around this but I'm loving it.

I've got 2 beers in with Hansen and my brother has one (a Wookie Jack Clone) and all are very good. I'm glad I ordered 6 and I'm also over building starters to save for the future.

A nice looker! Hope you're happy with it.

Send in the Clowns.

So it appears this beer is done. Krausen was gone last night and it's already clearing. Down to 1.007 from 1.059. I dry hopped it today but tasted it and though it's hard to tell at this point, it taste alot like a Pilsner. Kind of 'meh'. No judgement until it's dry hopped, kegged and carbed...

USA ITH-20R with 3 transmitter Much appreciated!

I've got mine in a Speidel fermenter and no way to accurately know the temperature but the temperature in the utility room got to 97 and the beer felt very warm so overnight I moved it back in the house. Activity in the airlock is completely stopped. Not even 24 hours. I've not checked the...

This was my exact thoughts! I do have a shyte ton of hops to drop. Don't want them to be grassy.

Been reading this thread for a long time. Finally brewed with Hornindal today. 1 hour later, it's already doing it's thing! I made a starter to keep some for another brew and it overflowed! It's at 90 now and I hope to keep it about 92-94. But, if I plan to keg this in 1 week, how soon...
