I know it's not true for smartphones but not sure about tablets.

Wouldn't the weight of the 'string or something' affect the hydro reading?

If it was American 2-row then it would have higher DP than Pils but if it was UK 2-row it would be less.

+1, I've never even had Palm Speciale but back when I bought a sack of Franco-Belges Special Aromatic I did a bit of research on it and this was one of the few tidbits I could find. It's good stuff.

I use 1.037. Expect a ton of stuff in your vorlauf and lots of break...at least that's my experience with it.

Guitar amps are a TOTALLY different aminal than most other amps, that's why the best guitar amps are still vacuum tube amps. We WANT distortion and often we WANT compression (i.e. less dynamic range) and you achieve that by cranking it up. Also, the way an amp interacts with the speakers...

There is loud and then there is LOUD. You can play guitar in your home at pretty loud volumes before it gets LOUD at your neighbor's property. Nobody should have to put up with LOUD. But imo it doesn't matter what instrument you play, if a drummer is 'allowed' to play at a certain volume then...

That is good info. I'm definitely doing something wrong then. My post boil pH has never been that low. It usually doesn't drop much at all during the boil (I always measure pre-boil, post-boil, and post-fermentation). I use different strains of yeast all the time and sometimes pitch from a...

I'm brewing a Boh Pils this weekend and was looking at the '97 Brew America 'Lager Beer' lecture slides on wetnewf and it says the final pH of PU is 4.6. IMLE, if I have a mash pH of 5.4 I'll have a final beer pH lower than 4.6 (probably closer to 4.3). It seems almost all of my beers, since...

A mixture of 2-row and Carapils/Carafoam might be closer.

Love the show, it will be missed. Sometimes I'm impressed by the ingenuity of his cooking and gagetry but sometimes I just shake my head and think; "WTF are you DOING!". The steamed/baked-wing multi-tier contraption and the ladder-turned-fried-turkey-hoist are two that come to mind. I liked...

milf imo

Yes, when adjusting the reg it's best to take everything else 'out of the equation'. It should stay there unless you're connected to a keg (with valve open) that has been over-pressurized. If a keg has stabilized (i.e. carbonation level) at a higher pressure then that keg will tend to cause...

I haven't brewed all-extract in a very long time but my memory is that; in addition to the color mentioned above, getting the desired attenuation for a German Pils using 100% extract isn't easy to do. It should be dry and crisp. I always had to add sugar to even get close.

The Fascinate has been offered for free in the past but those were for new accounts. I have a Fascinate and imo it's OK for the 'smartphone' duties but it kind of sucks as a regular ole phone. Very distorted on both ends. And Verizon or Samsung or both really delayed the promised 2.2 Froyo...

Beware of repeatedly soaking for long times. I know the lines will get tacky to the touch and leave a sticky residue on your hands from doing that with blow-off tubes (and that's also long PBW soaks followed by long Starsan soaks so YMMV). If it gets tacky to the touch AND leaves a sticky...

Yes they need positive pressure to seal. Generally you don't even need that 'clamp' on the lid once pressurized.

Some regs are self-venting and some are not. If it's not self-venting then you have to vent it whenever you reduce the pressure. My old cheapo CO2 reg is not self-venting. A check valve will prevent a self-venting reg from venting all that line downstream of the check valve. When adjusting...

There was a Brew Strong Q&A with Charlie Bamforth where he mentioned a non-alcoholic beer he made while in Saudi Arabia. He said they 'distilled off' the alcohol but that a ton of other things also get lost and you then have to add them back. He said it's still not right and at best you end up...

Since he left Auerbach in his dust I expect that kind of response from a Celtic fan.
