Anyone have one of these digital thermometers...Digital Thermometer w/Probe :: Midwest Supplies Homebrewing and Winemaking Supplies. It's way off and I can't find any info on the net where it says how to calibrate it.

Alright Cowboys fans, crawl out from under your rock like me and give me your thoughts. He's a cancer in the locker room, but he's a talent we can't replace. So, what do we do? Remember the salary cap hit: If he plays - $8.995 million. If he doesn’t - $9.675 million. So, what do you do? Oh BTW...

So I ordered my ingredients from Midwest last week when it was 40 degrees. Little did I know that this freeze was on the way for this week. So I receive my ingredients today and take the yeast (Wyeast 1214 Smack Pack) out of the box and it's slushy inside....not frozen, but slushy. So I smack...

I just bought the basic kit from Kegconnection for kegging one beer. However, I have another corny keg and would like to upgrade to split two ways. I guess I need a split manifold, 5/16 tubing, 3/16 tubing, and connectors. Would it be easier just to call them and ask for the extra components or...

I have a 10 gallon kettle at work that is sitting around that has some scratching and knicks inside of it. I currently use a 5 gallon brewpot I got from NB and am looking to do full boils. Do you think that the scratches will lead to bacteria even when washed, sanitized and boiled?

So I got this little pocket digital refractometer from Sper Scientific. I used it at work to check the sugar on our drinks (I work in a beverage company) and it worked fine and was right on. I bring it home to check my SG and it is always way off. I got 7.2 brix and 1.014 on hydrometer. This has...
