Bought some homebrew equipment and there was a Phils Philler with it. I guess this was the original bottle filler, before they made them with plastic. Are they easier or better than the modern plastic ones?

My first extract brew. Amber ale. Next up, Winter Ale.

Well, I took another reading this afternoon, 6/21. 1.012. Cranked down the temp to 35.8 and look to bottle on Wed, 6/24.

I was going to give it a couple of days before I take another reading.

I thought I had read it needed to be 68-70 to help the yeast wake up. But ideal ferm temp for yeast I used was in the low 60's. Which as I'm typing this I realized I didn't note what kind it was. It was a dry yeast. I believe it came in a yellow pack from Midwest.

No. Pretty constant. I built a fermentation chamber out of a freezer and ebay temp controller. The first day I set at about 69 then dropped it to 64 on 6/19. Then to 62 on 6/23. It has been there since.

Anyone going to the Big Texas Brewfest next month?

I enjoy WOB in Arlington. The bartenders are very knowledgeable. They have a keep the glass special on Mondays as well as a randleized beer. I had a saison infused with sour patch kids last Monday. It was interesting for sure. They have a loyalty club. Everyone there is very laid back.

I just ordered mine via your link. If anyone else is going to order one, please go to my link to order, thanks.http://www.livingsocial.com/deals/588148?rpi=103146026&ref=personalized-link-box-103146026&rui=144032367
