    Good day all. Well Kegged up the RIS. It was a Larry's Russian Imperial Stout from Homebrewing.org that is a take on the Bell's Expeditioin Stout. I have never tried that beer and was wondering if any of you have. I see I did a typo. The sg was actually 1.104 and fg was at 1.017. I put it...

    Question about Blichman Boil Coil 120v

    Thanks guys for the info. Luckily I rent a house and not an apartment so my circuit breaker box has 20 amp where I would want to set up. Yeah I have read info on grainfather and others but don't want to spend that much money and was wondering if I could do cheaper. Thanks again for some info.

    Brewer's Edge Mash & Boil

    Good video scotti. I have been wanting to get the grainfather but this looks like it might do. I live in Oregon so winter temp would be a problem but can brew in garage. Question, is what was the batch size you did. How were your numbers for your preboil gravith, starting gravity did where...

    Yeah I took the reading with the refractometer first and saw it was low so checked with my hydrometer and both readings were low. I think not enough crush was the problem.
