    3/8 inch to 1/2 inch change

    Just upgraded my ball valve and NPT fittings for my cooler mash tun from 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch. Still have a false bottom with a 3/8 inch fitting and ordered a coupler to allow a 3/8 barb on the inside of the cooler so that I can attach hose from the valve to the FB. The outflow barb is standard...

    What are you drinking now?

    Meh? If this were a stout with the right mouthfeel it would be so good. Too thin.

    Got 18lbs Free Hops

    I put the screens in my attic where it is super dry and quite warm now (in Alabama.) In a single layer, completely dry in 2-3 days. Any well insulated attic anywhere during the summer should do though.

    Wort Filtering Idea

    I have a hop filter contraption that I got from Utah Biodiesel Supply. I usually use it in the boil kettle to throw my hops into. Does an excellent job of filtering out hop crud since the mesh is 300 micron. However I think since the hops are confined I don't think I get great hop utilization...

    OG confusion. Any ideas?

    1) initial PBG sample was taken from the kettle spigot, 2nd reading also taken from spigot, 3rd reading taken from tube going into ferment or while pump was running. 2nd check if OG pulled with a sanitized turkey baster from fermenter before yeast starter was pitched. 2) measure using a...

    OG confusion. Any ideas?

    I really am hoping that my final reading was just dead wrong but too late to tell now. With temperature and everything else being constant (60 degrees) and getting the same results twice I am just horribly confused. I'm sure it will still be drinkable but really disappointed me since I am...

    OG confusion. Any ideas?

    Brewed a Dark IPA yesterday that I have made before. First batch PBG = 1.050. This time, with the same grain bill, we got 1.072. Incredible right? More like impossible. By the time I took the sample we were already 30 minutes into a 75 minute boil and decided to calculate a correction by...
