A friendly place for friends who drink

Not really sure what you mean by rinsing off dust I'm afraid.

How do you know the astringent flavors are from dust?

How are you measuring mash pH? When are you measuring it?

I don't know, just something I haven't tried. The spreadsheet calculates the pH. I just trust it from what others say. Trying not to spend $130 on a quality pH meter. Do you use a meter?

Sorry, rinsing of the dust would be simply running dark grains under the faucet for a minute in a strainer of some kind.

당신의 소주는 보리에서 증류되어 있습니까?

Just curious..

No, ME love YOU long-time.

No, ME love YOU long-time.

Don't make me ROFLMFAO! I cough like a mother floccer!!

 

[mhurst111]

I don't Korean anymore.

Also, for the record, I was post 20001 & 30001. I want that on my tombstone, the stone thing not the crappy frozen pizza.
I think about that, because OLD.

Time for more beer and Xbox football

That Sump is about to be killed unless someone has a better suggestion.

Chilled: HB saison from BGBC, some lemonades from Pianoman, Surly Furious, Vanilla Buffalo Sweat, and a buncha other crap.

Mmmmmm bulgogi...

Mike: 2nd place place when it counts. 2nd place when it doesn't.

Sorry, google translate was failing me, and I panicked.

Here lies @mhurst111

Always a post late and a dollar short.

I think Bru'n Water is a very useful tool. I use it but adjust the actual acid additions based on the measured mash pH of prior brews. The more you do the better the pool of data becomes, and you can get ever more accurate in hitting target mash pH. Picking your target is a whole other ball of wax.

Having said that, you're better off with no meter than a crappy one or a badly calibrated good one. Typically I find Bru'n water's predicted pH to be within 0.1 of actual mash pH so there is a decent argument to be made for using the software blind (Did just that on my last brew as my meter needs a new probe).

Good data in, good results out. Bru'N Water is only as good as the water data it's fed. If you're going off a published report for your city that's years old and doesn't account for seasonal variation, it's not going to be accurate consistently. If you either have a good measurement or consistent start (measuring yourself, using RO water all the time, etc), then it's VERY accurate and consistently so. For me, I use monthly averages based on data from my water company. My water can swing above or below average, but once I notice a change it's easy enough to account for it.

Sorry, I'll shut up now. It was a fun, (fun for me at least) diversion as I sat in the dark waiting for the kids to sleep.

Beer now. Very short work day tomorrow.

Also Hobgoblin.

Another night of loading data back onto the system from old CD/DVDs. Oh, look at that. Just got 6 pings from my AV for crackers/keygens/dataminers. Now how did that happen I wonder?

I need a drink or three

Didn't know what you were talking about. Sump is a beer.

 

[Qhrumphf]

One more Trooper. Nightcap.

Hey, speaking of threads getting run into the ground, did Owly's latest reach its inevitable conclusion, or did he succeed in making hoppy O'Douls?

Took every ounce of self control I had to not post something there. Love how the thread turned into a lecture about society's obsession with sugar. From what I can see, all evidence seems to point to that hes obsessed with anti sweetness and coining the term

 

[banesong]

Freetail for lunch. Pizza good, beer... decent. Sad that I will likely have to pick up ranger Creek at the store, not the distillery. Booo Saturday only hours, and 21+ only tasting room at that.

 

[banesong]

Oh, and evidence.

Are you sure the tasting room is 21+ only? I went to an event and I seem to remember quite a few kids in line.

 

[m00ps]

Am I the only one working tomorrow? I am aren't I?

This is gonna suuuuuuuuck.

I'll be here to annoy the crap outta you don't worry. You can show me more of those figurines. Legitimately interested in whatever the he'll game they go with

 

[1977Brewer]
