I bumped my grinder and changed my grind. I got a stuck sparge. More sparge water, less sparge water.... ...I don't know.

This one has some heat going into the bottle. I hope some of it stays till the St Patty's Day/Birthday party I made it for.

My little impromptu starters did seem to take off once added to the wort. There's a lot in the wort for them to work on.

I had 1.058 when I put into the fermentors. I had expected a higher OG. It is at 1.008 today on bottling day. ...I get a little over 6.5% ABV

Ok, I'm crossing a couple threads One of us on the website suggested I take my double batch of Left Hand Clone and split it to make two single batches - one Left Hand - the other turned into a Chocolate Mexican stout I did last year- the one in this thread. I documented it already over there...

There's still a few bottles left. I had one after supper then cleaned some bottles a friend gave me - fou cases. It was really good with a lot of head retention.

Hops loose their potency in beer over time. Too bad. I had a friend who accidentally mad e a red. It inspired me to start all-grain. He didn't like it. he was going to pour it out. He gave me a twelver to take home. My wife and I really enjoyed it and asked for another 12. We finished...

I'm out of room in the mashtun. I'm drawing off a couple gallons of wort and heating it up in steps.

That's a good idea. Let me cogitate on that. I am mashing right now. I can't hit my temps. I set in at 160 - wanted 155 - took a swag at adding about two gallons of cold water to the 9 gallons that were there - dropped it down below 150. Now I'm trying to get it back into the 155 range. I...
