Found a great British Pub that does an excellent Full English on Sunday

Was going to boil some DME to feed my yeast starter stepped outside and forgot all about it.View attachment 745464
Um, invert sugar #42?
I actually thought about scraping it up and using it in an ale.I think we need to move that up to an even #50 lol.

I was reading a book on old British brewing practices and there was something about caramelizing the sugar all the way down and then setting it on fire as well. It was a way of getting roast malt/caramel malt flavors from a time when malt wasn't readily available, so, YMMV.
Don’t do that!Was going to boil some DME to feed my yeast starter stepped outside and forgot all about it.View attachment 745464
why not? If the reduced invert doesn't taste nasty, the resulting beer should be at least drinkable.There's only one way to find out! Might be a new brewing flavor hack .
but it's only showing 1/2 full on my 1 year old Northern Brewer double guage ?
Finally got some chalkboard pens. The chalkboard paint on the side of my kegerator isn’t really textured enough for regular chalk. I repainted the area above the faucets to make it a little taller and then installed the chalkboard tap handles my daughter had given me for Father’s Day last year. My tap list is a lot more legible now. I have an Altbier that will be kegged this weekend and a Cream Ale that will be kegged next week.View attachment 721068
I used this stuff-What kind of chalkboard paint did you use for this? I'm reading a lot of them aren't good for liquid chalk pens. I bought some tap handles with a chalk board surface and the liquid pens are basically permanent on that surface. I literally scrubbed off the blackboard surface trying to clean off the beer name i had on there...
Not cold. I keep my co2 tank on the outside of the kegerator, never had a problem. The tank itself was freezing cold after the fill. I need to get a scale so I can start weighing it.i saw you corrected to only 1/4 full, so probably not it, but it is october. so i'll just say temp effects the HP gauge...if it's cold it could be full and only read 500psi...
not sure if you knew that, so i thought i'd toss it out there.
I use Chalk Ink on my chalk board, chalk tap handles and box fridge (keezer) tops. I use Artista Pro markers for markings I don't want to easily come off (i.e. with water; they DO come off very well with acetate, though, if needed). I use their Wet Wipe pens for markings which will change (e.g. beer names). The two work well together and on everything I've tried them with. And infinitely better than actual chalk!I used this stuff-

It’s easy to clean with just a little glass cleaner on a rag. I haven’t seen any sign of it fading or rubbing off after more than 6 months.

Bought a 6 pk of Shiner Holiday cheer, 1st Xmas beer I've seen on the shelf this year
And I agree whole heartedly...but like I said..one must make exceptions...when it comes to beer...far be it from me to criticize a holiday beer no matter what month it is!!!Made my signature Altbier, #29, today. It began as an Alaskan Amber clone, as my first brewed recipe back in 2013. It has become a much drier "Northern Altbier" due to taste preference. Today's hydrometer sample:

And now for a few comments:
Dude, do yourself a big favor and please read some beginning brew books before you try the advanced procedures of Mashing A Stovetop.
Sorry. It's frippin October. This is just wrong. So. Very. Wrong.
October, pre-Halloween, you are supposed to buy Hobgobblin.
Ok. So that's one man's opinion.
Carry on.

Welcome back!Reworking my old keg fridge. Just getting back into homebrewing after a hiatus of really 20 years. Started brewing way back in mid 80's when it was still illegal in MS. Stopped about 2005, just too busy at work. Then moved and traveled and then way too busy. Brewed maybe twice each time I moved, old system too time consuming, 6 hour brews.
Got an anvil foundry recently, setting up my kegs and fridge. (glad I held onto a few kegs, wish I hadn't sold a half dozen a few years ago).
Fridge has just been sitting, ordered and got in my faucet tower today. Dual faucets. I drilled and installed the tower, removed the two old faucets and through the door pipes(stupid place to put the faucets.) 3d printed a pair of fittings so I can run the co2 line through one of the door holes. Now that works and seales them up good. Now to let the beer carbonate and get another batch going.
It does affect pressure, but not that severely unless almost at freezing. Here is a handy chart for CO2 vapor pressure at different temperatures. You have to convert from °C to °F if necessary.so i'll just say temp effects the HP gauge...if it's cold it could be full and only read 500psi...
