Wanting to charting the peaks and valleys of the specif gravity is the engineer side of me. It seems to me that when ever sugar is added that the specif gravity will change and should be recorded. I do agree that the addition of yeast is not going to affect the specif gravity of a recipe. The...

I'm wondering what size the mesh is for the bags that one typical buys at the LHBS. At mine, there is a large and fine size mesh that comes in two different bag sizes. I've seen people talk about getting Nylon voile curtains and sheets, but that still leaves me wondering what size the mesh is...

I wasn't talking about boiling the syrup. Add it when you bottle the beer instead of using priming sugar. Maybe a mixture of both, because I know honey does not produce the amount of carbonation like priming sugar does.

Perhaps you could bottle with a little bit of Maple syrup in keep bottle. I've heard of people using honey during bottling.

the youtube links are not clickable for me :( I have to try to find them else where.

Working on the trial version BS2, but I think I will be purchasing it after I get some Xmas money. A few reasons why below. - It's the most friendly and easiest to use overall. - Video and forum support for how to use BS2 - It seems to be worked and improved on unlike most of the others. - My...

Well the OG is after the boil and before the pitching of the yeast, correct? Then I add sugar and yeast through out the fermenting process. Doing this would case small peaks and valleys of the specif gravity of the beer during the fermentation if you plotted the specif gravity vs time. I guess I...

I have come to the same conclusion and with be getting a March plastic pump also. I think of all the plastic hose, fittings, and buckets that I have, does one on more or less piece of SS equipment really matter? Probably not. I'll go all stainless when I win the lottery, will also consist of...

Walter, thank you. I have not come across any info on the brass pumps and was just wondering. I'll have to tell my friend about the possible issues with using brass.

I have a friend that uses a March pump with a bronze head and he says that it works great. I am curious to know if a bronze head is food safe and can be used for homebrewing? Perhaps Walter could comment on this topic?

Just tried adding the 8oz of sugar that goes in during the primary fermentation and it start the est OG. I think "after the boil" is for when you add sugar to the wort just before you pitch the yeast. I guess that feature is there if you did not get the OG that you wanted and throw some more...

I'll look into that, thanks.

Why would I want a cheap alternative that could fail (and sounds like it will) on me and screw up the timing of my brew? I'm not looking to go through the hassle of returning pumps and waiting. I've done that with computers and beater cars. Lesson learned, buy the good stuff and leave the lesser...

I'm going with a March 809 SS. The last thing I want is to run it problems on a brew day. To me, when I have to devote time fixing or have something fixed, is time that I could be doing something else. Sometimes spending money up front is the correct thing to do. Did Chugger even do any...

I rather get my teeth pulled then clean a dirty carboy without a Carboy Cleaner. Seriously, I getting three wisdom teeth pulled on Thursday morning.

I'm trying to tell BS2 that I want to add sugar and yeast into the recipe during fermentation, so that it does not affect the OG calculations right after the boil. I cant seem to find a way to do that.

Just downloaded the trail version of Beer Smith 2. I'm doing the Dema Goddess Barley Wine recipe and I'm trying to add the sugar and yeast into BS2 that is needed during fermentation. I try adding it and it affects the O.G. after the boil. Is there where I'm missing to add this so it doesnt...

Fixed the link above, thanks.
