I'll email Mike and see what the deal is. He works pretty much every Saturday at the 3 Stars homebrew shop if you want to meet him at some point. I'll report back when i hear from him.
I'm good friends with Mike at 3 Stars (assuming it's the correct Mike) so i can get the ball rolling as long as someone else can take the reins. Let me know.
Hey Stefin,
Can you put me down for a sack each on the next order?

Flour adds some haze to the beer, especially if you keg. More aesthetic than anything. Indian coriander is much more pungent and fragrent than coriander you find in the grocery store. Grocery store coriander usually smells stale and very vegetal. Indian coriander is usually oblong and like...
Just brewed the same recipe as above, with the following changes:
1. Added 1 lb of flaked oats. I'm curious how much the mouthfeel will change.
2. Finally bought some Indian Coriander (wow, what a difference) and added 1 oz. at flameout. Hopefully it'll not be too spicy.
3. Found some...

Looking to sell my refractometer. Comes with a case, fine adjustment screwdriver, micropipette and instruction manual. Only 6 months old and works fine, let me know if you have any other questions. Free shipping. Thanks for looking.
Just finished mine, modeled to be similar to the one Quaffer built. Thanks everyone for their contributions.

I actually just got done using Rustoleum's appliance spray. It's not bad, used a little over one can, so about $10 total. I probably would pay the extra $60, but painting also works just fine.
Do some measurements and go shopping is my advice. Keep in mind that any projections from the door can hinder your carboy, but they can be removed as well.
Good to hear i'm not the only one. I received mine as a gift last X-mas, so not sure what their return policy is or if its even possible. I'm kind of tired of trying to figure it out.
Both are calibrated to the same temperature. I read both at ambient temp. in my apartment, which right now is around 80 degrees. I just don't understand why the refractometer is off so much. The model number is RSG-100/ATC which means it has a temperature compensation component. So i'm not...
