Glad you are back in the hobby. Happy we could help here. I'll take this opportunity to thank all those who have helped me over the years. Thank you!

I think you are trying to justify slickness as a positive quality? I certainly wouldn't want beer that felt oily in my mouth! It's true that base malt has it's own character, I believe the point that was being made is that it's not very much when you compare it to some more robust specialty...

Welcome!

Oh, boo…merang

It is one of the saddest things ever. Stone used to be my favorite brewery. (And I live in Minnesota!) Total Wine often has variety packs from them, but I don't buy them anymore or I would have to throw out 3/4 of the beer because it failed to "clarify". ;)

Thank you Thorrak for working on and maintaining this software. I use it on my fermentation chamber and have been quite happy with it. I will be bummed the day I fire it up for a brew and it doesn't work! I would offer more peer support for questions on here, but I barely know how to make mine...

I love it!!!

It's true. (I don't want to hijack your thread, and what will come out next is going to incite a frenzy. I offer this tongue and cheek for your entertainment. Here we go...) You were probably brewing in the time of the IBU wars. Brewers were in a battle to see who could pack the most hops into...

Welcome back to the hobby. The more things change, the more they stay the same. You are way ahead of the game in that you knew how to brew before. I hope the Braumeister helps you jump start right back into the hobby. Wait until you start researching recipes. Even in the 10 years I've been...

Scotch guard is still available. It can be found in the water supply of much of the eastern side of the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metro area where 3M used to manufacture it. Come on up and have a sip! I don't want these death wheels back! In 5th grade one of those giant pre-pubescent girls got that...

Stainless should be relatively inert to kefir. One risk is that the bottle is made of cheap stainless rather than good stuff. You might try putting some kefir in the bottle for several hours or overnight and then looking for any discoloration of the bottle on the inside. If the acids are going...

This seems like it might be a feature.

I drive a truck as well. (At least it is a hybrid!) I actually own 2 plug in hybrids that others in my family drive. I drive a considerable amount for my work, about 30K per year typically. I've thought a lot about getting something smaller and plug in to drive around for work and save the...

Around the campfire to share!

Most likely it is oxidized, infected, or the recipe/ingredients were not right. Not much else it could be.

I did not realize this was the Dad joke thread. <eye roll>

Agreed on the RipTide. CraftBeerPi 3 is still the latest official release. Some people have been using 4, but it is my understanding that it's not fully functional yet.

Welcome aboard!

This isn't a popularity contest. It is about not selling everything with the label IPA so that consumers know what they are going to get. Some of us love a West Coast IPA.

There are a multitude of options for you. In addition to the Brewing Software forum you might try the automated brewing forum. I use Fermentrack for my fermenter. It runs on a Raspberry Pi and a controller board. Originally that was an arduino, but many have since switched over to other...
