Brewed a German Pils yesterday. First time trying a German Pils. Used Viking Pilsner malt, which I have heard nothing but good about. Magnum at 60 minutes, Hallertau Mittelfrauh at 5 minutes. Diamond Lager yeast. OG 1.050. 4.5 gallons.

Just put my Festbier in the fermenter. A little late brewing it but should be fine. Over shot my OG at 1.061. Nice golden yellow color. Hydrometer sample tasted more than promising.

You beat me to it. I was going to say the same thing

Maybe you can put tape on the floor like Les Nessman did on WKRP in Cincinnati.

A friend and I brewed 11+ gallons of an English Barleywine. OG=1.093

As a follow-up: I got an email from Grainfather saying that "a replacement control box and boiler will resolve the issue." They asked that I confirm my shipping address, which I did. It sounds like I will be getting a new Grainfather. Yippee! Great service from Grainfather.

If you remember the 60s, you did it wrong.

I hope to get the same type of service I've had my Grainfather for 5 years. 22 months ago my controller died and Grainfather replaced the unit. Like Harleybrew, I sent them some video and still pictures. I also went through my LHBS where I bought the Grainfather. I was brewing this past...
