A thief will be about the best $10 you spend on homebrewing. Easy to check gravity in carboys to see if a fermentation has finished... or just to sneak a taste.

Looks tasty! I've brewed a bunch of wits. Everything looks normal to me. RWDAHB

Simple dilution. M1V1 = M2V2

Also, I don't know if you've seen Denny Conn's Bourbon Vanilla Porter or not, but it is an excellent beer. I've brewed it several times to rave reviews.

If you like your porter, I'd use that and then just add vanilla. Get a good madagascar vanilla bean or two, chop them up, sanitize in a little bourbon or vodka (depending on if you want the bourbon flavor or not) and chuck it into secondary for about a week.

They need to get rid of the ****ing packing peanuts. Other than that, love AHS.

I'm I'm going to slum it, I'm gonna slum it with a Shiner Bock or a Yuengling.

They pour "better". They don't stick. Ever.

jlpred, my grain bill was all Marris Otter, with the exception of (IIRC) a pound of Special B. Hops were big additions of C hops at 60, 40, 20, and flameout.

Sold, pending receipt of funds. Thanks, HBT.

Just like these. Essentially new condition. Used one year. No damage. Replaced them with perlicks. Clean and ready to go. $20 shipped for both.

Used to do it by hand. Then I switched to promash. Now I use beersmith, and a handfull of iphone tools, such as the MrMalty yeast starter app.

I brewed on Sunday. Temps were ~20 and snowing all day here in WV. I preheated my mash tun with a gallon of hot water and hit my mash temp of 156 on the nose. Lost 2 degrees in an hour in my Coleman Xtreme mash tun.

Thought I would update y'all on this one. I DID, in fact, brew a large 1.100 barleywine with an egregious hop bill after my son was born. It finished out at around 1.024 and I bottled it in 24 oz bottles. I tried one at six months just to see how it was... and it was good. Very good, in...

By the way, the body needs 12 or so mg of iodine per day. The only thing I'd be concerned about is what else is in iodophor. If it's PVP or some other stabilizer, you're probably still ok as that stuff just passes through.

If you had 1 gallon of 15 ppm, you now have 5 gallons of 3 ppm. The lethal dose of Iodine is 2-4 grams, and you've got 55 mg total in the whole 5 gallon batch. I wouldn't be afraid to drink a pint or two as long as it tastes good. You're going to get approximately 1 milligram of iodine per...

Coddington was great. Good beer and good food. Beware the sampler... the samples are 8 oz each! I had to quit with just the sampler!

I found Red Rock to be completely forgettable, not to mention absolutely choked with people. I drank all week at Squatter's.

Heh. I've got a 3/4 million dollar HPLC-tandem mass spec setup in my lab, too... but I'm not going to jeopardize my job by selling instrument time to homebrewers over the internet. LOL :tank:
