same with approx ~5 min variance. I believe it was supposed to be 154. we were light last time and corrected it. alkalinity before or after? the wort was 5.4 But before I didn't check either brew.

This is my new brew of pale ale as mentioned above.

My first Pale ale is listed here. It is still in its secondary bottle. About 2 more weeks left in there. I wanted to do a second Pale Ale following the same recipe and change one variable. In this case I changed the 5min hop addition from .2 to .5 and the flame out from .2 to .5 (ounces)...

I moved it over to a secondary. I took some w/a wine thief and it has some off flavors now. plus it lost a little of its hoppiness. The gravity was .010 which is supposed to be the final. Approx 5.9% We also started a second Pale ale, same recipe. I wanted to change the last two hop additions...

as others have said. I would like it to keep each brew. Not only the recipe for that brew but a "brew record" if you will. Where you could keep notes on that brew, record your readings and the like. Then you could on the main recipe page have "real" averages of past brews - per recipe. Have a...

Is this a reference to your child, or the beer. :D I am sure both will be okay.

That is a funny story. But, I made a mistake. I guess the beer I was referring to was kellerweis by sierra nevada. We drank both that night and I was confused the next day.

With my buddies IC we just ran hose water. From the tap it was 64 degrees, from boil we got it down to 76 degrees in under 10 min. He has a 1/2 inch 50" chiller. we swirled the IC around in the pot to make a mini vortex. plus moved it up in down. We did this the entire cool down time. It was...

Welcome Oregonian! I am new too, glad we have Oregon support!

smithwicks irish ale. IMO it takes like if you were to drink the water after boiling bar s hot dogs.

DiY still plates? any good links?

I enjoyed reading your first brew! I haven't bought any equipment yet, but I agree w/you. Buy what you want from the start.

Say what? I plan on bottling them all, but you suggest bottling two after the primary with no priming sugar, and do a taste comparison of those non primed beer vs bottled primed beer?

made me smile.

Thank you, It appears to be doing well. We are planning on moving to secondary this saturday, which will be 15 days. We did use his wine thief ( I believe that is what he called it) and took the gravity reading. At this point we are at a 6.0% abv. It tasted good, no sharp or noticeable...

The next afternoon it was in full blown fermentation mode. Its awesome to think all that funk turns into something so good.

1.) Very true, except there are no standards. Some companies go from dark to light then back to dark again (making their ratio larger then what it should be). plus there is no standard on how long the set has to make the transition. Also, Response time nullifies a high contrast ratio as the set...

It was odd, but we got it working. It is sitting fermenting now (well, the yeast has been pitched and hasn't started its thing yet) 30 more days, here I come! Kinda nice my buddy bought all the stuff for me for my b - day which is on oct 14. So It will be ready just in time! (I am moving...

First problem, we bought a new auto siphon and it doesn't work. We are not sure why, but it doesn't keep the flow. Doesnt' matter too much at this point I guess, but when we try and fill up the carboy it will be kind of a pain. Or so I have been told.

good advice, I'll do that next time. Also the preheat temp wasn't high enough, I think that caused the temperature difference. We just drained the wort and did the first round of sparge'n we are doing the batch style.
