    New York 10-gallon brew rig!

    Ferm Wrap and Fridge ... can they share a thermostat?

    Is the Therm Wrap inside the fridge? If so I'd expect you'd need a two-stage controller: http://morebeer.com/view_product/16664/102282/Ranco_Digital_Two-Stage_Temperature_Controller_-_Wired

    First Ever AG in Progress

    Man, I gave up on tunes while brewing. Propane burners are too loud! Congrats on the AG.

    Which (if any) UC Davis course?

    Ya know, this is the conclusion I drew, too. So much has been written and, frankly, technique is more important than theory for where I'm at, anyway. Thanks for the feedback.

    Which (if any) UC Davis course?

    I'm with you @sacdan, I wanna know the science. Methinks I'll float a test balloon with SWMBO...maybe I'll see you there.

    Which (if any) UC Davis course?

    I'm not looking for a job in the industry (yet). I'm squarely in hobby mode, albeit passionate. I have a day job that I'm committed to for now. But, dammit, I want the time, money, and energy spent to stop yielding stuff that isn't fairly decent most of the time. The occasional f-up is...

    Which (if any) UC Davis course?

    About four years, off and on. Results have followed a solid bell curve: a few standouts, a few throwaways, and a whole lot of in-between stuff that I can't quite throw out but am not quite proud of. I'd like to get the quality up but am not sure how. Reckon seeing and learning from someone else...

    Which (if any) UC Davis course?

    Hi, all, Lately I've been looking at the UC Davis brewing program. I'm lucky enough to be within easy driving distance and have the time and inclination to enroll in one of their programs. I want to get better at brewing, period. They have a weekend-long 'Going Beyond the Kit' program...

    Anyone brew the Avant Garde Pale Ale from Gordon Strong's new book?

    I did. Just killed the keg. I must've messed something up because it came out harsh and green, even after plenty of conditioning. My judging skills are still developing, but I'd guess from the literature that it was acetaldehyde. Or astringency. Or an infection. At times it was okay. Others it...

    Anybody concerned about this hobby on their health?

    I share the concern: urge for craft beer research at war with urge for healthy. I ride road and MTB anywhere from four to six hours a week and observe a quasi-primal diet, including fasting. Sounds like others are similarly mindful of diet and exercise. Would I like to drop those last five...

    Krausen on a stir plate?

    Thanks, tr. You're right: in the few hours since the first post there's now definitive activity. Guess it was another case of impatience...

    Hello from Northern California

    Hi, all. Firstly, thanks to everyone here for this forum. It's great. I've posted -- and gotten fast answers -- a few times before it dawned on me to properly say hello. So...hi. I've been brewing for about five years but it's really taken off the last year or so. I'm lucky to live 10 minutes...

    Krausen on a stir plate?

    Hi, all, Been making starters for some time now. Before getting a stir plate for Christmas, it was obvious when there was activity and when high krausen's been reached. The stir plate seems to conceal that because everything's always in motion. How do you "prove" the yeast and get a feel for...

    Krausen *will not* fall

    Hi, all, I've got a pale ale sitting in the fermenter for going on 14 days with WLP060 and cannot get it to stop. The gravity is above target. There's still visible yeast in suspension. Gravity hasn't changed in days. I tried pitching an extra vial of WLP060 on top. I've tried gentle shaking...
