Anybody use these? I have one i got with a bunch of other stuff and would like to use it for my sours. My only concern is that it will pick up a lot of yeast/trub. Does that matter at all?

 

[pointcity-homebrew]

I use one. I take a sample pour it in a glass , then take another sample and combine the two and take my reading. Then I usually take a taste test from the sample I pulled.

Drinking water.

I have one andbdont use it very often, just for the reason you mentioned. It picks up y in and that can stop it up and make it difficulut to drain. If you have something in secondary that's pretty clear, that's okay. I use it more often when making cider than beer.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Water at work.

Just Dont go to be bottom. Take small samples until you fill what you want to fill up

 

[finsfan]

Thanks for the replies. I will just have to be careful with it. So is my assumption right that too much yeast in the sample wont produce an accurate gravity reading?

 

[Ridire]

Good word...Remmy's birthday. How many beers will lose their lives due to this development?

Is there an over/under on the number? Whatever it is, I take the over.

Just put the thief in the beer halfway and give it a couple of up and down shakes, it will fill up the rest of the way without disturbing the yeast.

Edit* that sounded way dirtier than I intended

Haha thanks for the response, maybe

Happy Birthday man. Have a good one

A Coke with my fat kid lunch. Also picked up a bomber of La Folie for a later time.

 

[plath]

Last little bit of my cascade pale ale leftover from bottling. Cloudy as heck from the bottom of the fermenter but it is citrusy and awesome! And strong

[Hello]

Happy Birthday Remmy! Enjoy the day!

Anybody use these? I have one i got with a bunch of other stuff and would like to use it for my sours. My only concern is that it will pick up a lot of yeast/trub. Does that matter at all?

I use mine all of the time. Just keep it off the bottom.

I'm calling 16 beers will lose their lives today. Size is not specified.

This. I don't know why people think you should ever jam that bad boy down to the bottom. Sometimes, depending upon volume in your carboy, you will have to pull beer twice to fill your test vessel, but it is easy enough to use and the only time I got trub was with my IPA where the beer is probably 35% trub.

I further cleaned up my confusing response, haha

Just the tip, eh?

Water. Got home at 2 am, drive to Charlotte yesterday…it was a lot of driving and due to my buddy getting wiggly about people lining up for a concert, I didn't get to NoDa. I will go back soon I hope.

Shipyard XXXX Ipa.
It's over 9% ABV, hoppy enough to have a decent bite but malty enough to conceal the high alcohol content. just had it on tap at a local British pub
(at least some of the pubs around Monterey are humble enough to carry big, bold American beers instead of just the usual British styles)

Happy birthday man. Make it great :rockin:

 

[Remmy]

Ran a **** load of errands and visited my friends at my old company. Now it's time to hammer beers.

 

[MrNickVT]

Ahhh the joys of new home ownership!


Hopefully SWMBO will bring me some heady after she's done work!

 

[Remmy]

Thanks again, folks. The festivities have begun.

Dave37 robust porter mixed with my nut brown ale. 3:1

Time to get smacked.

I have to drive to an early dinner, so I have to watch myself til I get back home.

Wish you all could party at my crib. Group flight discount?

Listening to Ready to Die on the porch while I smoke this. Damn. I love being alive.

 

[Hello]

I wonder how many people out here have no clue what Cheerwine is? LOL. I'm on taxi duty to the baseball practice...having a little Wild Cherry Pepsi.

No kidding. I had NO idea what it was until I moved here. Even then, I didn't even try it until about 2 years after I was here which coincides with the first time I went to the Cookout. It took me just as long to go to Bojangles.

Ohhhhhh! Next time we trade I would loooove a Cheerwine!

I do not see why that can't be arranged.


Cream soda. I went and bought packing stuff for my shipments and I do not have enough to secure everything.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Just booked a trip to San Francisco. Time to research beer and places to see..

 

[Remmy]

My galaxy ipa. The whore needs some carb.

Funny, it was while sitting on my porch with a cigar and beer this past Saturday when I came to the same conclusion.

 

[Remmy]

I had this at the brewery a few months ago. Hops come through very nicely without smacking you on the face (think NEBCO). Pretty decent for two roads.

Go to the Monk's Kettle.

And you best get your ass to La Taqueria (on Mission somewhere). The green salsa is insane.

Ice water after getting my son's Mustang GT outta the shop & mine in. Then took him out for driving practice. Gotta let him drive to work,then I drive back.

I didn't do the big beer run last time I was San Fran. But Monk's Kettle had good food and a ridiculous beer list. So, I went up there. Have fun, buddy.

Where in Houston?

 

[Remmy]

Now it's my 3:1 nut brown to Dave37's robust porter.

How I am typing? I don't know.



Listening to Ghostface on my back deck. What a great day.

 

[onetoeddogbrewery]

Sorry should have put a disclaimer. I'm in Nola right now.

Happy birthday remmy!

[mhurst111]

Happy birthday Remmy.

One of these before my 2pm meeting....
And my seat at the bar was taken, so view of the new 20 barrel system instead of the cooler of bottles.

I like that view better. More Crooked Stave is always good!
