I think I have the same or similar danby kegerator, the temperature control stopped working so I couldn’t adjust it. Does yours have a little thermometer probe like the on the left side under a white grill? I unplugged that and stuck a 2.2kOhm resistor in the plug instead to bridge the...

ok just had the first glass of this carbonated and it is very good, I’m very pleased.

Thanks for the insight, I adjusted my recipe with that in mind. Do you have any suggestions for what you would do to the GF recipe to make it closer to TH? Thanks!

This is what I'm trying now, looked like it actually finished at 1.010, dry hopping tomorrow for 3 or 4 days. Not sure if they have other hops in there besides Mosaic, but put a little bit of Simcoe in there just in case a single hop wouldn't be complex enough. It would be nice to have some...

I read through the Treehouse Brewing Julius Clone thread and found the great fermentations clone recipe and brewed that using the ward labs mineral analysis, and we went to treehouse yesterday and picked some up for comparison and I think the results are very close: Mine has been in a keg for...

I’ve been looking for a club on the east side, and there’s some listed on the WA homebrew site, but the email contact form doesn’t seem to work (I at least don’t get an email if I check “email me a copy”). The “brewglers” or “cascade Brewers guild” seem like the closest to me, but brewglers...

This thing looks like a really big improvement on the past models. https://www.blichmannengineering.com/fermenator-g4.html $600 is a much lower starting price than an SS brewtech unitank ($950). The ss brewtech one has more stuff standard, and the prices seem similar when similarly equipped...

Yeah I’m thinking I should probably use some LME or DME to hit the high gravities from now on, hopefully it will be a small enough portion to not affect flavor too much. Wonder if my local home brew shop has a decent selection of LME. I also wonder if the two row I used for this batch might...

Oh I have that and used it in the starter boil, but did not shake it or add any more to the starter after the boil. I wasn’t aware of the refrigeration requirement either, I think it was just on the shelf at the home brew store and the label doesn’t say much. I’ve been wanting to use the mr...

Ha, thanks for confirming my suspicions :) Curious about this centrifuge setup, sounds expensive but intriguing...

It was my first time re-using yeast, this weekend. (lined up 3 or 4 recipes using the same yeast so I thought I'd give it a try). I had no way to count the yeast so I used the most conservative number on this thread in the forum, and used all ~6 oz (assuming 30 billion cells per fl oz, so 180...

Was a battle this weekend to get 6+ gallons of wort to ~1.080 for this Pliny clone using all grain and without extract in my 10 gal anvil foundry. Had to double mash because I couldn't fit all the water & grain in for a 5 gal batch, and it was such a low water-to-grain ratio that each mash took...

Their marketing department deserves a raise because I got about 5 emails about this from Anvil and different retailers. It looks like a nice compromise that gets the important features of the fancy stainless conicals from blichmann, ss brewtech, grainfather, etc, at a more reasonable price...

Oh well this seems handy too: Mashing Hydrometer Calibrated at 155F

Oh here's how it works for temperature correction from that same FAQ: So I guess you're just subtracting 5 or 6 points from the measurement with mash temps around 150 or 160.

I was wondering if floating bits of grain would impact things, though I figured I could strain a sample into a glass for measurement, and it’d should still be faster than waiting for it to cool... still doable with a conventional hydrometers as well, but nice to have automated logging and...

Anyone ever thought about trying to use the Tilt Hydrometer in the mash? The FAQ seems to indicate it could handle Mash temps: It has a temperature probe as well, so I would think it either adjusts for temperature automatically, or you could do an adjustment yourself using the temperature...

Yeah I wanted to watch that but seems to require a Facebook login. Is there a recording anywhere else? I don’t have fb (and would rather not have anything to do with fb)

I just saw this last week. Gonna have to brew that Janet's Brown Ale I had been planning tomorrow now.

I tried the freezing then boiling, bike tire inner tube and wrench, then bench vice, and the only result I got was that I now need to buy a new replacement tube since both the wrench and vice just pierced holes in the bike tube and still couldn’t get enough of a grip due to the odd shape and...
