Hell, I never even noticed that!

Wait. Is it that it probably cooled down more in the refractometer? I can't see how much would evaporate when it was totally closed. Maybe the edges would evaporate a little bit but not, the liquid in the middle.

I must say, original sample that I put in the refractometer after letting it cool in the spoon was just sitting there in the refractometer for another 10 or 15 minutes. It still gave me a way different reading than when I had originally looked at it. I hope I'm being clear. I'm just trying to...

Okay. I thought I HAD let it set a little bit but, I'm thinking about it and maybe, the actual metal of the spoon kept it rather warm. I will try letting it sit longer. I did notice that when, I picked up the spoon again after doing what I thought was letting it cool, I could see more...

Maybe mine isn't either. It's the same ones you can buy in the little blue case on amazon. It always measure zero when I check it with distilled water, though. Hell, I don't know.

Maybe, somehow I'm wrong but, it seems if it evaporated that would be water going away and it would make the brix count even higher. I'm pretty sure it was cooled down. It was just a little puddle in the bottom of a tablespoon. I don't know though. Thanks for trying to answer my question.

X2 for, It was an email. 😁

Oh, hell! I just realized what the date is! Jesus. :agressive:

Yesterday while brewing, I spooned out a little bit of my preboil wort and set the spoon on the counter to cool. I know it got clear down to room temp which was about 71 at the time and when I put it in the refractometer, it said 1.068. That was unexpected. I thought that it should be about...

That's funnier and it doesn't take me as long to read. Much less time wasted equals much less anger! 🤣

Actually, yes. Yes, you are! 😁

Yeah yeah. I get it.;)

Yeah, after reading my post I think I had too many exclamation points in it and stuff. It sounded angrier than I was but, it did get on my nerves. It actually wasted my time more than it angered me. Although, I don't like anything wasting my time! Hahaha!:D

I take it, I'm Francis?

When I want to take a keg somewhere, I will take off the lid, drop a CO2 hose completely to the bottom and fill the keg with co2. Now, drop your beer hose completely into the bottom of the keg and fill with your beer. As you fill it with beer, it will push up and out the CO2 gas. Now close the...

Code please 🙂

Good for you, brother. Kegging was/is one of the best things that I ever did to make things easier. If I hadn't of started kegging, I would have quit brewing years ago.. I hated bottling but, I really hated waiting for it to carbonate naturally. Kegging makes a big difference!

I don't know if they'll post it but, I just made a comment on Yakima valley's website. I was not amused! It pissed me off that I read all of that crap just to find out that it was a joke! Although, several points in the article were fishy sounding. Get to the end and find out it was all just a...

Okay. I understood your first and second paragraph but, your third paragraph, I'm a little confused. The part about errors being independent or proportional. You lost me there. Maybe you could explain it a different way or maybe you could just decide whether I really need to know that or not and...

Now, this part, I do understand.
