That setup is sexy. Nice work.

for those first dozen glasses i just give it an agressive pour and im good to go.

thanks for the input el caro.

Hey bulls you use a carboy brush on your better bottles? I thought that was a no no.

Hey guys: I've done about a dozen 5 gallon batches so far. I have a 6.5 glass carboy, and 2 6 gallon better bottles. Fermented in both equally and thinking of changing up. I hate lifting/moving my glass around. And I am scared its going to break and slice off my arms. Kind of a pain to...

I recently brewed an all grain Obsidian Stout Clone and also would of ran into a low og but I referenced the book "Designing Great Beers" and there is a great chapter about hitting your target og during your boil by adding some fermentables (dme), or by boiling off. I ended up hitting 1.068, my...
