Morning

No. That's not the case. Unfortunately it is a commonly reported phenomenon on the forum which disobeys the laws of physics. Glad my earlier ramble was of use to you. Best of luck with your brewing.

Think about a can of coke with lots of CO2 insuspension. Open the can and the CO2 will come out of solution to level off with the atmoshpheric co2 %. Very very small amount. Some will be retained dependng on the temperature. Warmer it gets the more CO2 will boil off. Chilling the can of coke...

Nice pics. Looks very dark for a Helles. Probably just the lighting.

The three narrow range hydrometers I have are a similar length and diameter (at their widest) to my larger range hydrometer. No additional kit was needed for me to use them and they require the same volume of wort/beer to take a reading. Typically ~100ml In my experience their dimensions...

Yes.

No worries mate. I'm no expert but wanted to reply given the dangerous nature of the situation. Off taste related to O2 is likely given the method you outline but that depends on a few things. Time Storage conditions Your taste threshold for oxidation compounds. I typically make cider in a...

Plastic taste in your beer is most likely not related to the use of vinyl lines. There is a much more common cause and a solution that costs ~$0.01 per 5 gallons of packaged beer. I use vinyl lines. While not as good as the types listed earlier (silver containing bevflex) they should not impart...

Yes. You've added plenty (more than enough) of sugar for bombs to develop. Open a bottle wearing protective eyewear and long sleeves outside to assess this for yourself. I would anticipate a messy affair. If you prefer unoxidized cider/beer never stir when priming. Just allow the cider/beer...

I used one with a 3-4" probe without issue for a long time. I removed it as i wanted to use the hole for something else and the thermometer offers little to no user benefit to me. You know it's there so ripping a bag is a non-issue. Just slide a spoon between the bag and the probe upon...

First pour off the keg usually will contain that first few ounces of sediment filled beer. My guess is the following beers will be clearer. Thanks for the update.

First prize is over $4200 USD Best of luck PP

With flippant sailor talk like this, you sir, can consider yourself uninvited to my next rooftop gathering.

Yup

Yes. Narrow range hydrometers are a very useful tool. I have a set of 3 including one in the 0.98 to 1.02 range Getting samples to the correct temperature (60F) is not difficult for me as I have a refrigerator in my kitchen where I brew. Easy to Read
