Hey Tech, Nice gravity numbers. Mine tastes really good...a little too much on the sweet side I'd say...not as hoppy as it probably could be. Nice relatively subtle hoppyness on the nose. Mine has an after-tase that I can't put my finger on, but I think it might be my water. Def going to use...

Hey kman I IM'd you. Let me know what you think

yeah, me too....wait...what?

Give it a try! You might be on to something...

ah...duh ;)

That's a biggin'. Would be sweet to hang that thing on the front of a fridge. I'd cut out a hole for the faucet mounted on the door. Out of curiosity, what's a CL purchase? I'm looking for one like this Why are they $80???

I only have the one tower, so it's pretty big. I was thinking something half that size or so. Great price though! Wish I could get a 10" for $10...

anyone have an extra SS drip tray sitting around I could use under the faucet on my used recently rehab'd Beermeister? I've been using a paper towel and my beer deserves better.....but not to the tune of $80 at my LHBS. Watcha got?

Here are some pics of my virgin brew. Dig my sweet etched Jerry Garcia glass. Love that thing.

Yeah someone mentioned that in another post I made after I brewed. I was in a hurry to finish up had company coming over and SWMBO was not happy the kitchen was total'd. I topped off and took a sample w/o mixing very well. No doubt part of the problem. I made sure I mixed very well making...

Thanks! Good advice! Actually, I've been using a 30qt aluminum turkey fryer and propane burner already. I'll def do a full boil next time.

Yup, I was shooting for the right volume, not the right gravity! In fact, I spilled some wort pouring it into the fermenter, prob like less than 1/2 cup. I was also straining the wort, so I pitched some wort with the trub. Maybe that's where I lost the gravity.

It's the Brewer's Best APA kit 6.6 lb. Light LME 1 lb. Caramel 20L specialty grains 2 oz. Bittering hops (not sure what kind) 1.5 oz. Aroma hops (not sure what kind) YEAST Nottingham My OG was 1.048 (should have been 1.051-1.055). My FG was 1.016 (should have been 1.012-1.015) so ABV...

Maybe the room was too hot? Could that cause low conversion?

I'll def try kicking the temp up a little at the end of fermentation. I cold-crashed in the fridge (around 34deg or so) for 2 days before I kegged, and I actually used about a Tsp of Irish Moss at the end of the boil.

Hi guys, I kegged my first batch of beer on Saturday, an American Pale Ale. It was in primary for 3 weeks. The room was a steady 65deg and the wort was like 67. I calculated the ABV and it came out low...I don't really trust the IG I took though. I was in a hurry and the wort was warmer than...

Awesome! That was quick. Glad your happy...enjoy!
