    Gravity to Molarity question

    As stated above me, degrees Plato are an expression of the percent mass of sugar in the wort. 1 ºPlato = 1% sugar by mass = (1 gram of sugar)/(100 grams of wort) Likewise, if you have wort at 10 ºPlato (approximates to 1.040 OG...nice for a session ale) then you'll have 10 grams of sugar per...

    first timer, crazy to start with all grain?

    I also jumped straight into all grain. I did my first 8 batches BIAB. Although I would wrap my boil kettle-turned-mash-tun in a sleeping bag during the mash to improve insulation, I found that I would lose ≈5 ºF over the 60 minute mash. I would also do a modified sparge. I picked up a...

    Getting to Know Your Beer

    @pitmaster666 Totally agree! I submitted a few beers to competition and the scores ranged from mediocre to good, but the most common note I received was "not up to style guidelines". I gotta admit, this kinda shook my confidence a bit. But as I thoroughly enjoyed finishing the rest of each...

I've lived my whole life in Santa Barbara, California, surrounded by vineyards, wine experts, and people who think they're wine experts. One phenomenon I've noticed is that, some people...

    Full boil: Is this a good propane burner / pot?

    +1 on the bulkier pot. If at some point you want to add a ball valve (which I'll bet you'll want to because they're so dang handy!), I believe you'll be better off with the sturdier pot. I have the Bayou Classic SP10, 55,000 BTU's – It'll bring 6.5 gallons of wort to a full boil in 17-20...

    grade yourself and be honest

    I grade all beers according to how I would respond when served in a pub, and according to my own harsh grading scale, I'd give myself a solid B to B+: A = I loved the beer and will definitely order one more – The aroma, mouthfeel, flavor, all of it was on point and I wouldn't change a...
