Right now, I'm drinking a home brewed Helles.

I really like Kölsch, and that's a nice looking Kölsch - good job!

Just tapped a fresh keg of HB Schwarzbier.

I'm another Thermoworks Thermapen user. I use Thermowoks products for all things temperature related in my house.

Yep - same here.

Personally, I use the alternate method for all of my brews. The simple method is easy to remember and easy on the math, but as already stated it starts to deviate from actual ABV as the alcohol level increases. The alternate method is more difficult math to remember, but imo, it's the more...

I brew using the BIAB method. I use a refractometer for measuring gravity at the end of the mash cycle to get my pre-boil gravity. I also use the refractometer near the end of the boil to dial in my post-boil volume and gravity. Then I switch to a Tilt Hydrometer to capture hourly gravity and...

Nice score at a great price! I BIAB and I currently have the rollers on my Hullwrecker set to .028" but I'm thinking of closing mine down to .025" - that will handle almost any variety of grain that I mill without having to re-adjust the rollers.

I have my recipes pretty well nailed down for what I brew. I buy what grain I need for two 5-gallon batches (from Great Fermentations, no tax and free shipping). I only brew a pair of batches 5 or 6 times a year, and I don't want bulk grains sitting around.

When I use my 45/70 on Schwarzbier, the bullet really ruins the whole batch. 😁 But I use 34/70 always when I make Schwarzbier, in fact I have a batch of Schwarzbier going right now and it's coming along nicely!

Another W34/70 user here. I mostly brew German style lagers. Here in the middle of Arizona I can't get liquid yeast during the summer (no LHBS), because it doesn't survive the heat while sitting on my outside porch waiting for me to pick it up - so I exclusively use 34/70. However, I also don't...

Didn't smoke meat - but I just smoked a rack of ATB's (Atomic Buffalo Turds). :p

3962 + 5 gallons of Schwarzbier = 3967

OK - glad you all like the images! :) Here's another one of my images. IC1871 it's part of the Soul Nebula and is located about 7500 light years from Earth. This image took about 30 hours of individual 5 minute exposures through 3 different wavelength filters.

I thought I'd just toss another one of my pics in the thread just for the heck of it... :) This is the Flaming Star Nebula, it's about 1500 Light Years from Earth.

Astrophotography is another one of my hobbies. The Rosette Nebula is located about 5200 Light Years from Earth and is about 130 Light Years in diameter. I took this data back in January of 2022 but I just got around to spending some time processing the data and pulling it all together. I used...

3,846 + 5 gallons Maibock = 3,851

I do BIAB with a Wilser bag. I crush grain using a 2 roller Hullwrecker set to .028" (I could probably go a couple thou tighter) and I get very good results.

I usually simmer (not boil) them in beer with onions for about 15 minutes then they go over charcoal or my pellet smoker to char them up a bit. Then serve them on a bun with chopped onion, sauerkraut, and mustard.

Nice going! I just made a pork shoulders worth of Brats myself, almost the same recipe as yours (mine doesn't have the marjoram or cardamom). I'm washing mine down with home brewed Maibock and Schwarzbier.
