    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Took Fri off to brew a 10 Gal AG batch Pale Ale recipe I came up with mostly based on the parameters for Ale Werks Chesapeake Pale Ale in Williamsburg, VA. I tweaked it a bit and used Chinook 60 min Centennial/Cascade 15min Centennial/Cascade 0 min Est. OG: 1.061 According to samples tested...

    Mango Gelato Pale Ale

    Lactose is an unfermentable milk sugar that adds a creaminess to beer. Based on the OP's desire for a mango gelato (Italian ice cream) pale ale, adding lactose sounds like a great idea. I typically add the lactose at the last 10min of the boil. Also, I've had great luck with Aseptic Fruit...

    10+ Point Difference in Gravity Readings?!

    Never thought of needing to let the wort settle before taking the sample. Makes sense

    10+ Point Difference in Gravity Readings?!

    I have had/been using this hydrometer for the better part of 10 years and have never once looked at the paper that came wit it to see what temp it is calibrated to! Ha! Will have to check that out.

    10+ Point Difference in Gravity Readings?!

    It’s the Brix/Secific Gravity one that Northern Brewer sells for like $49.95

    10+ Point Difference in Gravity Readings?!

    Thanks. Yeah, I have typically had pretty accurate readings with the refractometer and have just never had such a huge gap in readings previously. Maybe PFM...🤷‍♂️

    10+ Point Difference in Gravity Readings?!

    Hi all, I brewed a pale ale today on my electric HERMS set up. Everything went well but I was a little low on my pre-boil gravity so I decided to stop the sparge at 13 Gal instead of the usual 14 Gal. (I brew 10 Gal batches and try to put ~12 Gal in the conical to account for trub/hop loss...

    That's badass! Stoked for you, sir!

    eHERMS efficiency all over the place

    DonT, With mashing to a particular gravity, does this change depending on your intended SG (pre-boil) and expected FG (post fermentation)? Thanks. ~JG

    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    Thanks YeastFeast! Kinda what I thought...Guess I'll stick with the blow off tube and then purge when I switch to the PRV after initial fermentation. Cheers!
