I drank Budweiser until my oldest brother got a good job and started buying craft/microbrews. Then I got a good job too, now I can't drink run of the mill COFFEE either! I like DARK and STRONG coffee and beer. Same with cigars, but I don't smoke anything anymore because I don't want my kids to...
Yeah, I have a nice tube with a base now, but in the absence of a time machine, it won't help me get my OG! I thought for sure my "everything included that you need" kit would have one, but I looked everywhere---no time machine. I mean, no tube!
My hydrometer's tube was not tall enough for me to get an OG reading. Not wanting to keep the wort exposed to air, I skipped the reading.
I'm considering using my body to tell me the approx alcohol content by seeing how many beers I need to drink to get tipsy. Any other ways?
