Man, so is leaving sanitizing solution in the carboy for an extended period of time not recommended? I have carried mine and moved it around so much... I feel fortunate now that i haven't had this happen to me... I have one better bottle and two old "mexican" ribbed glass carboys... Geez-us i...

Yeah didn't think so but it always made me think... The ears do come out the top of my brew pot and curve down slightly... But the ends that stick out just above my wort and bot over the sides do condensate.... When i brew in the middle of winter its worse.. When the water basically comes out...

I also think that if you put the whole setup in a fridge (like i did) that also affects the gauge and the regulator. I usually just go by what the gauge says... i havent seen a noticable difference +/- whatever the gauge is saying. As for the faster pours... why? I enjoy watching my beer fill...

I think the only way to tell is to sample a few pints... I cant believe i have to do that again... :drunk:

I have always wondered about this.. but never really found anything regarding it. I use a 25' X 3/8" copper IC to cool down my wort and i notice that the "ears" coming out seem to sweat on the outside from the steam/cold walter combination. I sanitize it by allowing it to rest in the wort the...

This just happened to me on an all pale ale i'm brewing. I tightened up the plates on my corona mill i just got and was testing different milling sizes. I too was at 92% efficiency. Its still in the primary so hopefully no tannins. I just cant get the flow identical on the fly sparging. My...

+1 i'd make sure you refracto is also calibrated...

Yeah... I like using it... and your probably spot on by saying its better used for SG... I have done so as well it allows you to adjust on the fly since its instant so if you need to add a little dme you can decide sooner. I suppose it was the post ferment with the alcohol correction you need...

I've been using one since december... and the only reason i would guess to use it is so you dont need to pull out 3-4 oz. of beer each time you want to take a Gravity Reading? only a coulple drops. Is it worth the hassle? You have to take the sample and get it to ambient temp of the...

Welcome... Everything you dont know is on this forum.

Road flare

Good food and microbrews at the elephant bar at the crown plaza in the center of Philly. Spent a week there recently on business and they had a decent selection on tap..

Weyermann it is!... exact same sack, its got a a VW like symbol on it. Now i'm excited... Still want to hear if anyone used these before and the results i can expect. edit.. WOW the top of the sack said Weyermanns... paid no mind to it. looks like i got some brewing to do.

exactly what i said.. "bamberg"... I have to say I bought it late last night and really didnt check out the rest of the sack for any other mfg info. i'm excited about it... and a bargain I think. Its actually 55 lb'er I got for 64 bucks.

So was looking to buy some 2-Row pale ale and came accross this sack for 64 bucks... 55 lbd. Has anyone ever used it?... I took a sample and crushed it in my new grain mill setup ( i needed to adjust it anyhow) and then i made a mini mash in a thermos to get quick tast/smell... man this stuff...

Spit it out... LMAO Gotta love the irish... Us italian types would have hung him over the bar by his b***s... Till he gave it up...

whats in the bottle? mango flavoring?...

:rockin:sure why not...

Carboy= large glass jug... 5-7 gallons usually used to ferment your wort. They can be larger but usually the larger ones is used for grape juice or "wine"... Welcome to home-brew... Fermenting= turning sugar into alcohol (basically)
