I'd cut it back to 60 min. I also use the free sparge pal app on my IPhone. Plug in batch size, grain bill, boil time, grain temp etc.......and it give you your mash amount and water temp to hit your mash temp and your sparge amount and temp. Works great and usually hits the numbers dead on.

You could open the lid and stir it up a bit to release some heat. If you have some extra grain, add some cooler water and bump your base grain up a tad. Still, just adding some cold water to drop your temp shouldn't mess your numbers up terribly bad.

I usually start with a base recipe of a beer I like and tweak it over time to my likening. Some times it takes a few years to get it dialed in. This way your putting your own twist and learning what certain changes make in the final product. Just about all my ingredients for a 5 gallon batch at...

Second the hydro reading. That is your only way to know what is going on with your fermentation. Let it ride for another week then when you get 3 consecutive days with the same reading, you are ready for the next step. And that would be to go right to bottles (or keg). You don't need to...

Beersmith, my bad.

Get the Brewsmith software. Worth all 20 bucks.

Couple of beers when I get home, iced tea with dinner (don't like beer with my food) then a few more beers while I work in the yard or garage. Usually end the night with a cocktail of Captain Morgan and coke. I think I still have some blood in my alcohol system. :drunk:

This guy took a picture of his beard growth everyday for 1 year. Strange, but cool to see the transformationYear of the Beard 2010 - 1 Year Time Lapse - YouTube.

I took the route of making a square from copper pipe to keep the bag open and weigh it down. 4 copper 90's and 4 pieces of 4 inch copper pipe.

Does having wheels on your brew stand qualify as a mobile beer lab?:)

Nice analogy. A football game and a deadly disaster. Next time I go and put flowers on the grave of my two family members who died during Katrina, I'll let them know your feelings...... $#@hole

Take the photo of your mug, then put it through photoshop or gimp or any of the photo editing programs out there. Just crop the ugly parts out.:mug:

Even though New Orleans is my place, many years ago an old roommate of mine who lives in Galveston Texas thought it would be cool for us to do each other's Mardi Gras. Since Galveston's MG is the week before ours, I packed up and headed west. Not sure what it's like year round, but we hung out...

No facial hair allowed on the job.

Sell my project car and convert my garage to a nice brew pub. Build a ferm chamber Get my wife to try one of my beers.

Must have been reading my mind. Looking for a good Pliney recipe. Would Nottingham be a better choice instead of the 05? Just thinking out loud.

When you say smoke the tomato's and peppers do you mean like indirect heat like one would smoke a brisket or ribs or are you just charring and softening them up over a flame? We have a place down here called Bud's Broiler and they do the burgers over a wood fire and have this awesome hickory...

Seen VH on their last tour just before the infighting that cancelled the remaining dates. Very good show. Saw Rush the following month and they just absolutely killed it. Probably the best concert I have been to.
