interesting. I'm thinking this one is going to come out pretty meaty, a little thinner and more alchohol is fine by me. Good to know though

Make it to the Gorge in early August and I'll have extras! thanks all!

98 with 1/4 lb sugar

shameless brewday urgency bump, haha

I'm also about 23 minutes into my 60 minute boil...

I'm brewing an IPA as I type, with a targeted ABV of roughly 7.8%. I used 18 lbs of Grain but I also bought clear belgian beer candi (rock candi stuff) as well as amber belgian beer candi. This brew is looking very dark in color already and is smelling awesome. I've never used candi before...

I'm going to go ahead and purchase one of these ebay ones. Pretty stoked about it. Thank you all for the advice and help as always!

I've recently started doing All Grain and have never been truly satisfied with my hydrometer. I'm wondering if this will be more accurate, it seems like it would definitely be more convenient. Also, I found some awesome deals on Ebay, has anyone tried these specific ones? Thanks all!

are these the same thing?

cool, I'll look in to it! thanks

Using roughly 20 lbs of grain and plan on doing a 5.5 gallon batch. Is 1 packet of 1056 enough?

Sorry for the vaugeness (sp) of the post. I have been using the batch sparge method, specifically Bobby M's all grain instructions. I also hadn't considered the effect of adding a bit more water then is originally stated in the recipes that I have tried. Generally I have been trying to use...

I've made three batches since switching to all grain. The efficiency has gotten better each time but I'm wondering if my set up may be holding me back. The first three efficiencies were 40%, 58.1%, 66%. I made my MLT using a 4 ft SS braid for a washing machine. The braid kind of got...
