That looks very nice THF! If your not comfortable using something like photoshop try out https://spark.adobe.com/ It's pretty straight forward to use, free and is from a legit company (obviously). I messed around with it and made this in 5 minutes.

So something like printer paper would even work? Thanks for the help!

I want to make up some labels for my next batch it's something that I have never done before. I remember reading something in the past about sticking some on with a soapy solution (my memory is bad) so that they were easy to get off. I am currently looking around for something to use. Any...

I just came across this old post and didn't notice if OP ever found anything out?

Sorry I think I was confused on the conversion part (FG to Brix) in regards to just looking across the refractometer scale. Not using any kind of calculator. And ya I am glad I posted as now I know I can use the tool throughout the entire process (thank you) as the waste of beer using the...

Is it possible to match up the SG and FG gravity readings with the Brix side? If so it looks like I was around 14 Brix and now 8 Brix which would put me at a 1.016 FG. I was shooting for 1.010 to 1.015 so that's well enough.

I appreciate everyone's help! What a relief!

I just took a reading on my batch a few minutes ago. It's been about 9 days and airlock activity has stopped and the krausen has fallen. To my dismay my FG is WAY off the mark. My OG was 1.055 and currently it's at 1.024. I used my new refractometer that I got for XMAS for both readings. I...

I never understood why people speed brew. Or leave such a short amount of time and need to hurry everything along at least. For me anyways half of the homebrewing enjoyment is the process. AKA: Sit outside taking in the aroma's and having a beer or three. I get that a lot of people are tight on...

My god.... lol

Years ago I always had a few batches going each month along with a mead. I then ended up on a long hiatus and plan on trying to do just one a month now that I am back brewing. It's partly due to money though. My idea behind brewing is to make it a relaxing day. When I have a free weekend I get...

Thanks for the help! I would like to ask what you were looking for and what type of profile it ended up being?

So do you drop the pellets in and just wait until the sink? If so does that mean they float around for awhile until they "melt"? As mentioned I have never dry hopped before so I wasn't sure how it worked. Do you think the safest way for me Yes it’s Karma Citra! Have you made it?

Thanks guys, I am relieved that so many are skipping secondaries these days. I have been on a pretty long hiatus and remember it starting to come up more and more a few years ago. Direction wise it says to toss them in about 7-14 days prior to bottling. I wasn't sure if 14 was needed, how do...

Thanks everyone for the help!

Hi everyone! I am brewing my first IPA ever. I have never done a secondary addition of any sort. And I have actually been brewing on and off for a long time. I think it has to do with taking so long to like IPA's. ;) Anyhow my current recipe has me adding several ounces of Citra (pellet) hops...

For some reason one of my kids flipped on the light in the unfinished side of my basement. Which is were my carboy resides. I have NO idea why.. they never go in there. But yesterday I went in to check on how things were going and had a "wtf" moment. The light is a single bulb shop light that...

I got a big mouth for XMAS and the simple fact that my arm fits inside is amazing. That lid though... wth. I noticed my bubbler not well... bubbling. Then quickly realized the lid had started coming off. Now I have a weight on top of it. HOWEVER I am still super happy to have one. My response is...

I had always purchased jugs of filtered water from the store. My tap tastes very chemically. Is this good or bad?
