I'll PM you my cell. We can figure out when our next brew sessions are. I'm near Riverside as well right by old Sherman.

Has anyone used one of these for a fermentation chamber build? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1JH0HU4408&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-_-pla-_-Refrigerators-_-9SIA1JH0HU4408 I saw one on craigslist for $10 and figure I'd give this a shot. It may work like...

Yea, there are clubs in St. Charles as well, but nothing seems to be right in Elgin. We'll I will keep this thread open and maybe down the line if someone is interested they can give a shout out.

My keg sadly ran dry of this one last night. It is a sad day today. This beer was a hair bitter when I first kegged it, but it wore off and was perfect afterward. This actually tasted identical to Zombie dust with an oz of cascade in the dry hop vs Armarillo.

I am looking to see if there are any folks in the Elgin area that might be interested in starting a Homebrew Club. I'd love to coordinate a few brewing sessions and swap a few brews and recipes with peepz in the area. I am fairly skilled at technical projects and would love to help my...

I kegged this one a couple weeks ago and it is one of my best beers to date. My best friend said it his favorite of mine yet! I subbed a oz of Cascade for Amarillo as I didn't have any at the time. Great recipe! Going to brew this again for spring!

Thank you for looking into this. I feel as you do have great customer service from what I have read and prompt responses on inquiries. It seems that this issue comes up every once and a while. I suggest you impose a QA schedule on your mills. I can't imagine how much product you are...

The primary reason for this post is to reiterate the issue people have been having with the grain crush at Midwest. It is clearly known to them that this is an issue and they haven't addressed it. For a store catering to us homebrewers, this is a fatal flaw in the scheme to sell more grains...

Ordered all crushed grains. Will have to get the ol' corona mill out for this batch. I wanted to post this as a heads up for no one to order from Midwest if you don't have a mill as a backup. I wouldn't have ordered from them, but they were the only ones with Citra in stock!

I see my efficiency is a bit off - upped it and got closer, but still a bit off. I think the original recipe is a few points off

Hmmmm I upped it to 75% as per the recipe (I usually get higher). It brought me up to 1.064. It still doesn't add up.

Need a helping hand here. This is the recipe I am following: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/kern-river-citra-dipa-343603/ Ingredients Amt Name Type # %/IBU 10 lbs 6 oz Great Western 2 Row (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 82.0 % 9.2 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 2 4.6 % 9.2 oz...

Having an issue here. I'm using iBrewmaster and it is reading an OG of only 1.059 after I plugged everything in using a 70% efficiency. I changed the 2-Row to Briess, but that is the only alteration. Is there something I could be missing here? One of the grains is off the screen, but...

Did you all have your wort warmer than 70F? Doesn't that cause the gravity to be a bit high? I've measured at 75-78F and it always seems to read higher with the increase in temps.

Why am I reminded of Honey I shrunk the kids? I love both of these contraptions, but are these do-able for the regular DIYers? :)

Thanks everyone - Rolling with the overflow then. It seems to be spinning continually at this point so hopefully I'll be all good from this point on. Ghengis - Mogol? haha - I did try a Spindle disk first but gave up as it was soldered to a PCboard. Maybe I'll rip it off of there and try it...

Hello All! A bit of a noob here, but trying to learn my way. Did a quick search and couldn't find anyone that had this problem with a flask. So I pitched my Wyeast into a yeast starter made from Malta Goya (a bit less than 2L). I plan on pitching this into a high gravity beer I'm brewing...

Is there any way to sterilize the air coming in? Like wrap a paper towel tightly around this soaked in starsan?

Eh well I just added to my list so I can reference it. Bookmarks schmookmarks
