This just happened to me, floating thermometer broke in the mash. I am going to continue brewing it since the actual thermometer didnt break, just the outside layer of glass. It was a small hole. I strain my wort several times throughout the mashh, sparge, and at the end before transfering the...

drinking one of the doubles now, delicious, you have any good recipes for an amber ale or a brown ale?

I am brewing a double version. I am brewing about one gallon at a time and collect the wort in a fermenting bucket, brewing 3 gallons total. Here is the recipe on a gallon scale: 2 lbs American Two-row pale 1.25 llbs Carapils 0.75 lbs Wheat Malt During the Boil: @60 add .5 oz chinook...

the one on the left I mean, the two on the right are the modified Big Hoppy IPA recipe

The gallon on the right is a different IPA recipe, made it a day after
