Reddit screwed up the whole approach. This forum is about the get a lot of n3wb brewers just trying their best. I know we're awesome and inviting, but let's double down on being the best community ever

NEVER! But here ya go. I will say, pay no heed to water profile if you think you can do better. Just starting to get serious with it myself after 14 years.

Yeah, I know right. On a BZ G4 so only so much space, still hit 1.072 of the estimated 1.078. Pretty happy considering the limitations of AiO and it was my first high abv batch. Plenty of individual problems popped up, like Brewfather having **** timers.... OH AND MY CHILLER GOT CRIMPED IN MY...

Transferred my last batch onto the cake from a previous S04 batch and missed the krausen completely. Can definitely see other signs of it having fermented, but yeah, krausen came and went in the dead of night I guess

My go to ale yeast for most of what I do in the ale space is 1318- London 3. White Lab equivalent would be London fog, if you can't find either, there's also Imperial Juice or the Verdant IPA. The Haze Craze mad this strain both easier and harder to find, but it's been my go to do awhile and...

5.5g house strong bitter + 4.75g Korbinian clone = 2078.25

West coast Bay area gets lucky quite a bit. I'll admit st. Pete floods at the drop of a hat though

And having have had friends that work Dispatch/ 911 ops and logistics, I think I have the easier job. I'm all packed out for the 10+ day runs doing disaster response that I sign up for every year. The money is good and all, I love helping people, but ultimately it keeps me from being...

And, what's your work life like? Currently I brew mostly once a week, sometimes I brew back to back on my weekends, but that requires more planning and logistics than I end up doing. For work, I'm doing 42.5 hour work weeks in State Law Enforcement, so that 42.5 sometimes turns into 85 with...

I got lazy and moved my back to back next week. I'm currently heating my strike water on my reworked strong bitter though, so not a total lazy weekend

Why are you trying make me a liar? Lmao Btw, is it raining down there yet? Can you send some this way if it is? I'm trying to get out of yardwork

Sack of Pilsner 35lbs of various specialty malts 1.5lbs of hops that were on sale that I didn't really need Some airlocks because I'm constantly losing them Spunding valve Floating DipTube Voss and Us-05 because I forgot I don't actually need to buy yeast for about a year And as always, a...

I never got to brew on one. I went from a single vessel biab to a Brewzilla 35l. Wouldn't mind going through a brew day on one just to see what it's like, but I wouldn't want to deal with the logistics of having it in my house. AiO is so convenient

That's an option I hadn't really thought of.

Having never used a Hydra, I can assure you, you're probably blowing my times out of the water. It's the WP attachment for sure. It's not a huge discrepancy, so if I make something hoppy as heck, I'll probably use the recirc arm into the hop spider while chilling/ in a hopstand situation

Take the listed amount of sugar per serving on the label, multiply that up to you 3.5 gallon mark and plug in to Brewers Friend, Brewfather or a recipe calculator of your choosing and that should give you the Gravity contribution of the juice itself. Then plug in the 6lbs of sugar you have and...

Have my overbuilt starter going late due to scheduling issues of 34/70 because every penny saved is a penny earned. I'll use that to pressure ferment a light adjunct lager with some of this Saaz I have laying around. When my grain order comes in, I'm toying with either doing the Alt from BCS, or...

Started in 08 at the rope of age of 19. The thing of it was, there was a wine making supply store in my neighborhood as a kid and I always thought that was cool. I grew up working in family kitchens and was always cooking with wine, so my thinking was, one more thing to make in house, because...

Well, this week was a bust for brewing. Meh, I'm going to the LHBS to get stuff for the D-Alt and x-mas beers from BCS. That's my plan for next week. Got a bunch of maintenance done and managed to bottle my Philly Sour experiment and my... I guess JABM (had no oranges, so I opted for...

And here I thought I was going to have to do another batch in the .25 gal space myself.
