Is this the Windows help desk forum? My desktop pc just had an odd error message stating that it could not repair the system, and that details were in D:\Recovery\WindowsRE\WinRe.wim\System32\logfiles\Srt\SrtTail.txt Desktop won't boot at all. so I pulled the disk, and plugged it to into an...

To address @BrewnWKopperKat & @IslandLizard We already did a brew day, I brought all my junk to his house last saturday, and while I had already measured out the grains at my house, the first thing we did at his place, after getting the strike water heating up, was put him to work hand cranking...

I've got a small kettle and brew on a weak stove top, so if I want to make high gravity beer, I need to use DME (I get the 3 lbs Briess bags from Ritebrew, and always use the whole bag). By far the simplest way to use DME, is to finish your boil (with hops floating freely INSIDE the same size...

Anyone here ever (well, recently, don't want 10 year old experiences) order their grain milled from Ritebrew? Teaching a brewing newbie how to all-grain BIAB, and don't want to tell him he needs to get a mill right away (nor do I want to mill all his grain for him :rolleyes:).

Rebrewed this evening, with minor changes: 90% 2-row 9% munich 10L 1% flaked wheat Same hopping, for what brewer's friend tells me should give me 46 ibu (bu/gu of .84) OG: 1.055 (via refractometer, it's still chilling out in my cold-assed Minnesnowta garage). I'll have an actual hydrometer...

Question for the experts... Do bittering hops, in their original vacuum-packed bags, (mfr: either Yakima Chief or LDCarlson) and stored unopened in a freezer, lose any actual bittering properties? I would think nothing could possibly "age" them other than the occasional cosmic ray that passes...

If my walmart scale that purports to measure accurately to 0.1 grams really IS accurate, my MASH water SHOULD have been: (brewer's friend recipe editor screengrab)

Shoot, I'm out of Cascade hops to re-brew (this time with no caramel malt)... Centennial for bittering / Citra for flav-aroma should be nice, probably? Although, with as much as I enjoyed the slightly-too-sweet ipa, maybe that's a dumb idea. Anyways, here's the Citra hops I've had in my freezer...

Does anyone actually know what chemical/natural-extract is used, to make those "Oxygen-scavenging" bottle caps, well, "scavenge oxygen"?

@day_trippr It's definitely delicious, no butter or almond (/marzipan). I'm going to see if I can drop off a bottle at a brewpub where I vaguely know the brewer/owner, and ask his opinion. My personal leaning for a re-brew is: skip the (2.1%) caramel 40L completely and double the flaked...

User @worlddivides is in Japan, I believe

Well shoot, I don't have any more cold, and I'm already fallin' asleep. Tomorrow, I promise! (just put 2 in the fridge) As to cloying, and @Bobby_M's comment: While this beer did have some buttery notes when first tasted (7+ days ago), the bottles I've had the last couple of days had zero...

83.3% 2-row 8.3% munich 10L 2.1% caramel 40L 2.1% flaked barley 4.2% sugar cascade @60 for 20 ibu cascade @15 for 10 ibu citra @15 for 16 ibu dry-hopped with an ounce of citra for 5 days og: 1057, fg: 1007 (woops, mashed at 149F) abv: 6.5% ibu: 45 Taste: really nice, but it's got just a...

Brewer's friend software tells me that I'd need 9.75 lbs of LME to make 5.5 gallons of 1.062 wort. For a 9% abv beer, you're going to want to push that starting gravity up to about 1.092 -- using just LME, that'd be 14.5 lbs of LME. For all-grain, assuming a reasonable 75% brewhouse efficiency...

We were trying to use it with the iPad's safari web-browser, and I couldn't make it work like I expected it to. Didn't think about trying to update his iPad, I figured that sort thing just auto-updates, but I don't know much at all about ipads (or any apple stuff, really). I passed along the tip...

Back when russia invaded Ukraine in it's 3-day military offensive (damn, almost 3 years ago now), I thought, making tasty alcohol could be a very useful skill in the post-apocalyptic future. But relying on the internet and computers to still work in a post-apocalyptic future seems increasingly...

Today I went to an acquaintance's house to show him how to brew beer in his kitchen, and he only has an iPad to work with. Had him create an account on brewersfriend.com, and had him input my printed-out recipe... And spoiler-alert: it was beyond frustrating -- dropdowns worked about half the...

That's gotta be Mancini's!

Made Yooper's Oatmeal Stout, subbed Baird's Roast Barley 600L, and I'm going to use S-04, but other than that, no changes. It's boiling now! One other difference: OG 1.056, and volume more like 2.9 gallons instead of 3.0 gallons

I know zilch about astrophotography, but now I really want to see what the original (7 yrs ago) pictures looked like. // retired software nerd who is interested in, and fearful of state-of-the-art image/ai-composition... /// your pictures are freakin' stunning!!!
