I have and use both. the refractometer measures pretty durn close to accurate, even without worrying about the correction factor - it's within the margin of error. EVery so often I do double check with the hydrometer to be sure, especially if I made a mistake somewhere along the line. For most...

We were watching my in-laws dog (a goldendoodle, for those keeping track) for most of a week a few weeks ago. Had a good time, except for walking him in lousy weather. Though we all got our step goals that week... Mrs. JRGTR42 has always been kinda ambivelent towards getting a dog (I've wanted...

I started my seeds a couple weeks ago. Only a limited amount of space, so limited numbers. Cayenne, Jalapeno and habanero peppers. Cherry, Beefsteak, Black Krim and Cherokee Purple tomatoes. Sweet peas, Honeynut squash. PLus cascade and newport hops. I'll have to do work in my garden area...

Detatchable Penis - King Missile

Drums in the living room?? I approve of that - though my wife would not. Mine are relegated to the basement with the rest of my music gear. The rest I'm with you 100%. :rock: Homebrew / beer geek / music geek.... My wife complains sometimes, but it's better than some other hobbies. If she can't...

You Know What I Mean - Jeff Beck (RIP)

Sounds like he used the Kweik instead of the US05. But I do agree with giving it at least 1.5 to 2 weeks.

I have an oatmeal stout that is in fermenter right now. It's a fairly simple bill - 2-row, chocolate malt, blackprinz and rolled oats. Typically it's an imperial bill, though this time I used the same amounts for an extra gallon, so I don't think it quite qualifies as Imperial this time. I'm...

Seems to be a theme of failed peat beers. I had one of those myself - the idea was a smoked dark IPA - used a pound plus of peat malt. Undrinkable. |I found a couple bottles 2 years later, and the peat had faded enough that it was almost drinkable as a smoked porter - the hops were gone also...

YEsterday I brewed up my Oatmeal Stout. |It's a recipe I've done a couple times before, once came out spot on munbers, the second was a bit lighter in color. I just called it an oatmeal porter and was done. This time numbers were a bit light, but color is like ink. Only issue was in runoff...

My first would have been a pale ale of sorts from my LHBS at the time, with the beginner kit - couple buckets, racking cane, hoses etc. Came out decent, as I recall. Knowing what I know now, it ws likely oxidised and somewhat light struck, but drinkable. this would have been about 15 years ago...

I went to the doctor and said, it hurts when I do this. The doctor said, well, then don't do that. Considering the thread is 10 years old, I don't know the OP is around to see it - but it's still something to keep in mind with the winter coming / here in force for the year. Doesn't matter how...

|I have a recipe for faux pho that, while not really traditional, is a decent stand. But related to pho would be ramen. And I ain't talking about 10 for a buck Top Ramen, weith 1500 MG of sodium in that spice packet. There's a few places near me that have fantastic ramen. Some dead on...
