I've bottled my first brew - A Honey Brown Ale. It's been in my freezer in my garage for 2 weeks, with the temp. controller set to 72°. For the first week, ambient temps were warm enough for the temperature controller to kick in and keep the freezer contents at 72°. The second week, the weather...

I'm just guessing here, but maybe evaporation of some liquid may leave a slightly denser wort sample. Again, just a guess - I may be WAY off.

Stafford, VA. - between Fredericksburg and Quantico. Just started Extract brewing a couple of months ago - already looking towards all-grain.

After a couple of days of de-labelling, I'm very satisfied with the results with Oxiclean. Most labels just slide right off, and a quick wipe of the plastic scrub pad gets rid of the remaining glue slime, as I mentioned earlier. I have discovered a brand which still requires an additional...

I saw that when I was there to buy the Oxiclean. I figured I'd try a small quantity of the name-brand stuff first to see if it works, then maybe try the generic stuff.

I figured I'd try a little while waiting for replies. I have the OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover in powder form - comes in a white plastic can with a yellow lid. I put 1 scoop (included in the container) in a 5 gallon Lowe's bucket of the hottest water from my tap. I put a six-pack of Sam Adams...

I've read quite a few posts on this forum about the use of Oxyclean to remove labels. I have a couple of questions. 1) Which of the many types of Oxyclean is the best? I've seen Oxyclean Stain Remover, Oxyclean in a spray bottle, Oxyclean in a powder form, and a couple of others. 2) What...

HaHaHaHaHahahahahahahaahahaaaaaaa!!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!! Even peed a little!!!!!! Wages going up! Hahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!! That's a good one. :D

I noticed it too. I went to order a digital temperature controller yesterday and the price had gone up from $79.99 to $83.99 since last week. The wort chiller I bought a month ago at $62.99 is now $69.99. Glad I bought that when I did. I haven't noticed a similar increase at the other...

http://www.510brewing.com/2010/11/bbjcp-blackberry-bjcp-guide/ If you have Blackberry AppWorld on your phone, do a search for BJCP. Then just download it to your phone and install. It's mainly an informational app. It doesn't do calculations.

I'm having this same issue. I have a Honey Brown Ale in the fermenter for 9 days, and I thought I'd test out my new Refractometer to get my SG. My refractometer has both a Brix scale and a Specific Gravity scale. On Monday, when the wort was just 6 days old, I got a hydrometer reading of 1.020...

Thanks! My wife agrees with the "addiction" reference. Wow, is it ever! Hi Jeff - I have a friend that brews who's name is also Jeff. :tank:

Can't wait! Then we'll see just how "under control" I have it! But, if not....then RDWHAHB! :ban:

I get there every now and then...I have relatives in Chester. I've bought some of my gear at the Weekend Brewer. Haven't been to the Capitol Ale Houses in the Richmond area, but I never turn down a chance to go the one in Fredericksburg.

Hi everybody, I've been lurking here for several weeks and have enjoyed what I've seen on the forum so far, so I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Jeff, and I live in northern Virginia. I had been toying with the idea of home brewing for a couple of decades. I remember looking at the...
