That is obviously a fake picture. Nobody would even go out in that kind of weather to measure it. The grass doesn't even look real!

I’ve gone back. My brewing frequency is down, but when I need something that’s where I go. It’s been a weird year to do comparisons. For a long time you couldn’t walk in the store. From what I can tell not much has changed about the retail experience. They do seem to be drifting towards having...

Why doesn't it ever fill??? Why???

I know it can be a source of pride to have clear wort into the fermenter, but the fermantation process will likely settle out whatever you are worried about.

Have you tried one of these yet? https://www.amazon.com/Thorium-Carboy-Silicone-Breathable-Thermometer/dp/B01IRP65L2/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=carboy+lid&qid=1621087256&sr=8-3

I don't have a horse in this race as I've sort of reached my saturation point with complexity of brewing for me and DIY, but with all the work you are going through trying to find the perfect tube, why don't you design and make your own? It would be relatively simple to mock up a prototype...

I've never owned one, but I would guess it is glued in with either sealant or spray foam. You would need to get in there and slice that glue from under the flange and probably from the underside as well. You are probably better off just painting around it.

Welcome back to the hobby! Of course the fundamental of beer is the same, water, malt, hops, yeast. However, a lot has changed in homebrewing even in the last 5 years. A lot of the process that was popular when I started about 8 years ago was still based on scaling down commercial processes. A...

Sometimes people wonder why anyone would live in Minnesota with its harsh winters. ...zero cockroaches of any size or locomotive abilities.

That's a shame. Those cans of liquid are inedible. :p

Some refractometers have an SG scale, some do not.

Thank you!

Welcome! I was in Ireland almost exactly two years ago for a trip with the family. We loved being there!

One other thing I haven't seen mentioned, the plastic in electric wiring casings can have led in it. As I understand it, it was banned at one time before someone lobbied to have it put back in. I believe it makes the plastic/rubber more flexible. It is also another potential reason for the label.

I've got all the supplies and did it twice. I stocked up on a microscope and the few pieces needed to do it last year. I was all gung ho to get a yeast lab set up and add that to my brewing skills. I even banked some yeast and stored it. It's not that hard. The biggest challenge for me was the...

Is version 4 ready for the masses? I would love to upgrade but want to avoid getting in over my head.

If you are just returning to homberewing and haven't been following along in the last few years, a lot has changed. I'm not sure if you still have all your old equipment, in which case you might just stick with 3 vessel brewing when you are able again. The concept of BIAB has really taken off...

What the heck is that? A giant dorm fridge? Pictures of the inside might yield some more helpful advice. Given what looks to be a fairly small footprint I'd suggest you bite the bullet and drill your CO2 through to the outside.

From the sound of it you might not have any leak at all. It could just be the beer absorbing it.

I'll take it!
