I meant to ask how you were taking gravity readings. Hydrometer in vessel or returning samples? Did you purge the headspace with co2 after or trust that the new activity would take care of it, or maybe just not worry because a blanket of co2 was already there? Just curious for my own future...

casesensative, can I ask if you had any prior experience or education in (large scale) brewing before taking this position, or are these two months sort of an internship to show you the ropes?

Check out the "Going Pro" forum on the American Homebrewers Association website. http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?board=190.0 It's a dedicated forum so you should find more concentrated information in one place. There are a number of people there asking the same...

What about cold crashing and then carbing in a keg before bottling? It would require adding a new piece of equipment to your collection (beer gun or counter pressure filler) but it might help you meet your goal and free the keg back up quickly for another brew.

I couldn't do that even if I wanted to. There's too much good beer out there to choke down something I don't care much for, let alone something I don't find at all palatable. I've seen a lot of folks online say you should never dump a beer, but life's too short to do things that don't make you...

m3n00b, what gravity are the beers that you make without aerating? I'm a newb and just asking for a better understanding of opposing opinions. From all the reading I've done, it seems that plenty of people agree that a lower gravity beer might be fine without, but a double or imperial IPA like...

If it's just a storage closet I wouldn't worry about it. If it were my clothes closet, I'd be concerned about my coworkers speculating about how much I drink and how little I shower.

From Amazon I ordered a .5 micron stone posted on homebrewfinds.com. With my Prime membership it was less than 6 bucks shipped and arrived in two days. For the regulator, I went with the all brass number sold at Adventures in Homebrewing for $29.99. It seemed pretty heavy duty so I spent...

I don't know what all the poor people are doing, but I have a sneaking suspicion that you are binge drinking. :D
