Did anything ever come out of this thread?

Bump.....Just trying to get some feedback. Let me know what you think.

That is a great idea....I will definitely take that into mind!!! Any other words of wisdom around this place? Maybe from some of those award winners!

Tell me your thoughts and suggestions, I want to make this into a competition winner! Style: Mild TYPE: All Grain Taste: (30.0) Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Boil Size: 6.00 gal Post Boil Volume: 5.46 gal Batch Size (fermenter): 5.00 gal Bottling Volume: 5.00...

I am loving some of these....keep em coming!

Because it would be nice to place a solid looking label onto my beers when I make them for events like weddings, birthdays, etc... At 23 it seems like all of my friends have something good to make beer for.

HaHaHa.....that is funny but is a no go.

Im liking some of the thinking....I really want to include the session part for sure! The only problem is that if I ever brew something that is not a session-able ale then it wouldn't fit under the name of the brewery. But I really want to include it.

Hello all, since I have now begun brewing all grain beers I think that it is time to name my brewery. I have never been the creative type so I will tell you about myself. I think I want my brewery to revolve around session-able ales. I have a high respect for the skill that it takes to master...

True...thanks for the word!

You think so? I was thinking about re-brewing it on Friday if I had time to.

It was a 1079 (wrong reading) but in reality it was really at 1048...but I thought it was 1079 so I diluted it quite a bit to get it to 1041(wrong reading). Hard to explain...you have to read the whole thread!

Also....any suggestions on how to fix the problem or should I enjoy my amber near beer?

Fuuuuuccckk!!!!! ****! I am a dumb mother****er. I spent so much time planning this brew and I didn't even realize I had the setting wrong on my calculator. With that said, and the correct setting found...the wort that I put into the fermenter was only 1029.....it is only going to be like 3%...

1048 is actually not to far off from what I was expecting...I was expecting 1052 in the fermentor. It was my pre-boil reading that screwed me up. My reading was to high (1079). So I diluted it to my estimated pre-boil of 1041. It is probably a combo of equipment malfunction and higher than...

I am pretty sure that I had it stirred up....it went into the fermentor at a 1048. But if I messed up by diluting my running then who knows what it is. I have used to refractometer before and had no issues. I can't figure out what went wrong. The only way for sure is to go pick up a hydrometer...

I mashed for one hour at 154 with 15qts of water. I drained the wort and then sparged twice. The two sparges were equal volumes at 2.17 gallons. I took the gravity reading on my refractometer after the second sparge. It read 12.25 brix. I thought something was way off. When I checked my...

Well, I brewed my first all grain batch yesterday and of course like most I had a problem of sorts. For my first batch I designed my beer around an efficiency of 68%. My pre-boil gravity should have been around 1.041 but I overshot that by quite a bit. It was 1.079. My pre-boil volume was...

Looking for bottles in the Tampa, FL area. Feel free to PM me and I will pick up!

Awesome, thanks for the tips. It makes me more optimistic that batch sparging with a FB is a feasible option!
