    goodbye kit, hello confusion

    gmadd, There is an easier way. Go to Brewmasters Warehouse (another forum supporter). There is a brewbuilder on the site and a great grain selection. Order your desired amounts, down to the ounce. Ed has a great crush and everything arrives nicely packaged. You will likely see a big jump...

    Burton Baton in SoCal

    Very. Baton is a great beer, probably my favorite from dogfish. I just hope it traveled well. I think of it as a fairly big beer, one to be savored and enjoyed, malty, good mouth feel but definetly has a bit of sweetness to it. Not as hoppy as the 90 - I think it is better balanced then...

    is ball valve and thermometer worth the money

    You will see many, many different answers here, as there are infinete solutions and ways to brew. All of which 'work best' for each particular brewer. I started with the turkey fryer kit - it got me brewing outside (SWMBO approved) and allowed for full boils. This is a great way to start...

    How much does a Brew Pot matter?

    If you are looking at regular pots (no valves, thermometers, etc) you might also look at the restaurant supply houses. They have good prices on thicker walled AL pots. These are durable and transfer heat well - for about the same price as 'economy brew kettles'. +1 to the 10 gal...

    Little giant pump 3-MD-HC

    I've been watching the last several auctions for these on eb@Y. Today's pump went for $180. looks like he is selling them one at a time now - a much better way to make the most $$. Unfortunately this is what ebay is great at - putting a small number of bidders up against each other to really...

    My first REAL brewing disaster

    Sorry for your loss. Trying to find the good in this................. Think of how good the garage will smell for the next 6 months. It will be a bit bittersweet, but what a great way to start the day. Glad there was no blood. Jason

    Confused about recent refractometer readings

    Pretzelb - I'll admit I'm a wanna be nerd when it comes to brewing. I love the measuring and the science. As far as the sampling technique - the rinsing may be part of the problem, any additional amount of SG 1.00 liquid will really lower your reading. I find it very difficult to...

    Confused about recent refractometer readings

    Also, Not to restate the basics, but what is your sample technique? Are you using a new (dry) pipette each time or are you rinsing the existing one - 1 drop of rinse water in a pipette of 5-6 drops makes a huge difference. I have also had problems if I just "spoon" some off the top -...
