Any good tricks for easily measuring volume into a stainless steel conical fermenter? I'm not inclined to carve marks into it (and I intend to have the lid on anyway), so the only way I can think of is to: measure post-boil volume in the kettle, subtract for cooling volume loss, and subtract...

I was recently calibrating two Brewmometers to a lab grade thermometer around 150ish degrees. Got them all to match. However, when the Brewmometers both settled back down to room temperature, one read four degrees off from the other. Is variation to this degree expected from a Bimetal...

I have a corny keg lid with pull-pin pressure release valve. I unscrewed the pin-spring assembly and removed; now I'm left with the screw-in valve port. Is there an easy way to remove this port itself (e.g. Does it unscrew)? Wanted to ask before I go breaking anything. Thank you.

When selecting the BrewEasy equipment profile in BeerSmith, the mash profile seems to default to Single Infusion. Is this the proper mash profile to use as opposed to the others such as temperature mash, BIAB, etc. ? Thanks!

Hello, Curious if anyone else has had this problem: I currently have BeerSmith Mobile 2.02 (iPad) and have no option in the App Store to upgrade it. When I delete the App and reinstall (despite the App Store listing 2.2 as the latest version), it still reinstalls with 2.02. Any ideas...

Hello All, Hoping someone can clarify something for me. For my 5 gal batches, I use Beer Smith and do batch sparging with my 10 gal cooler. Based on my settings, B.S. calculates two equal spurges (not equal going in, but equal wort coming out). I've never thought much about this, and have...

Hey Folks, I'm thinking of moving from propane to heat sticks for heating strike water and boiling. I do 5 gallon batches so I'm boiling 6+ gallons. I was thinking of building two 1440-1500W heat sticks. For someone with experience with these, do you think two sticks in that wattage range...

Hello all, I'm going to brew an all-grain chili porter, but I've read some wildly differing opinions on how many chilis to use. I plan to throw them in towards the end of the boil. 2ish chili's or 10ish chili's? Seeds, or no seeds? I'm thinking of using mostly chipotles with one or two...

Hey all, Did my first all-grain tonight--a sweet stout. Mashed in a cooler w/ toilet hose braid and boiled in a kettle with a braid/kettle screen (not homemade like the mash tun). Hit all targets, OG and Volume, so that was great. Sparging went well.... never had a stuck runoff... quite good...

Hello, I have an IPA in secondary that seems to be stuck. OG/FG per recipe is 1.070/1.012, and I've been hanging around 1.022 for a week or so. I'd like to re-pitch to see if I can drop the gravity a little bit, so I've made another starter (1 cup DME, 2 pints water). My question is...
