^. This. You can compare the predicted IBUs from the software and note your own taste buds experience. If you find that the predicted IBUs are higher than what you like, you can then adjust the amount of hops you use to lower the IBIUs to a pint you like them. There is no law against...

could be a fast fermenting yeast that the bulk of the fermentation happened overnight while you were sleeping to form they krausen and now it's settling down.

Another game the Rangers fall behind early and getting badly outshot. Truly a Jekyll and Hyde team.

not sure if this is a good or bad stat, of the Rangers 37 wins, 19 have come from behind. The new stars are starting to gel, but still a ways for this team to get used to the new lines. The kid line has been doing more lately. I do like that the Rangers current front office doesn't...

get a mini fridge off Craig's list and mod it into your counter. The fridge will cost you under $100. a false cabinet panel that you can remove can hide it away and yet give you access. A little insulation and PVC to connect the line(s) to the taps and a computer fan to blow cold air up...

yeah. While I love watching videos of the beautiful stainless steel 3 vessel systems in a remodeled brew room, having switched to an AIO (Anvil Foundry) and its simplicity, I don't think I'd ever go back. My brew day is so much more enjoyable, clean up easy and it stores way neatly. I...

I know Bud gets a bad rap, but how many home brewers can brew pilsners with any degree of consistency with near zero flaws. Not many I would guess. It’s not an easy beer to make and they do it well. It’s a business and it’s hard to find fault with them from a business perspective and...

Aside from efficiency and kettle size, strictly from a flavor mouthfeel perspective does mashing the sparging have a different affect on beer than a full volume mash it’s the recirculating pump? I see any traditional mash threads talk about the mash consistency, but they are doing other steps...

Pastrami on rye with mustard or Cubano. I go back and forth on those two. I make a decent pernil so at home I’ll make a Cubano with the left over pork. A number of very good Jewish delis around here for the pastrami on take out, of course with a Dr Browns cream soda and pickles both ways.

KISS. stick with a simple pale ale from a kit (extract with specialty grains if you aren’t set up for all grain). Opt for dry yeast. Try a free brewing software and see if you can plug in the kits recipe. But follow the kits recipe in case the software says something differently...

If we are doing the math per bottle, A 250 tab of conditioning tabs is $8.00. At approx 4 tabs per 12oz bottle or say 1 NB fizz tab [$6.50/60 drops) that about 12 cents a bottle, or $2.40 per 2.5 gallon of beer. Is money really the issue for using individual priming tabs?

For dosing the ease has to do with the size of the syringe, and less than the amount. While I agree less water is better, but that really should not be any different than priming by the full batch. It’s proportional so any dilution in the bucket would equal the dilution in the bottling...

According to the morebeer calculator, 2.2 volume of CO2 @68* for 2.5 gallons of beer would require 55.8 grams of corn sugar (dextrose). Let’s say you are using 16Oz bottles. 2.5 gallons is 320 ounces or 20 x 16 oz bottles. 1/20th of 55.8. 1 cup is 240 ml. If you dissolve the 55.8 g...

The Rangers playing their worst hockey since adding the two talented forwards, but I think that has to do more with an overworked defense. I think Miller is still out for Bruin game but it should be a good one. LGR

It’s pretty easy to does the bottles and fill directly from the fermentor. Do your calculations to determine the sugar per ml of your solution which you can make in advance and keep sealed in a sanitary container. Then calculate the mls needed to dose each bottle. You can get syringes...

Two stockbrokers were commuting to work. One says to the other “I got a dog for my wife” To which the other replies “Good trade “

Here’s a thought. I notice three different Voodoos in the deli beer case today that caught my attention then saw this thread. I recall drinking fat tire when there wasn’t many craft beer choices. But it’s been a very long time since I had one. Probably since there have been an...

He’s dry hopping in the keg.

I’ve used hop spiders, bags and nothing with pellets (the days of me using whole hops is a feint memory. This is my latest protocol Be advised this could change on a dime. For bitttering I will use the hop spider in my anvil foundry. Word is that bags and spiders will still get your...

Tough call. If both are equivalent entry level jobs, stay put to for a while to put some reliability on your resume. If the other job provides a better path to your long term goals then you have to do what’s best for you. If 6he are both just means for extra cash then the shorter commute...
