...well I feel totally ripped off. The final results came out, and despite the preliminary results showing I advanced, no luck for me in KC. Really bummed after receiving a 41 and a 45. What would cause an "unofficial" list that appears accurate with brewer name, beer and club name to change...

Thanks for giving me hope pstrohs! I was unable to get the back door to work, but I found your list of winners. My KC scoresheets came today - a 44 in Herb/Spice/Veg, a 41 for my Cal Common, and a 35 for Irish Red. None of them had places marked, although the Cal Common and Irish Red were...

Racking cane = Regalrohr Beer siphon tube = Bier Syphonrohr

Try google translate...

I have a Founders KBS and would be willing to pick up a few Founders, Bells, Shorts, New Holland, etc MI beers to trade.

Do score sheets for the final round get sent out to participants?

I have used the 12" Thermoworks thermometer with great success. It is "water resistant," not completely waterproof. It is probably the fourth or fifth thermometer I have tried, and have found it is very well suited for measuring my mash temp.

I agree about the claim btw. No go.

Thanks for the advice. The next one will be extra-extra heavy duty.

I think I jinxed myself by saying anything about the box leaving my place sideways. No comfy fridge for my entries. I sent the entries from work and didn't bother tracking them. Well... They box showed up today. Damaged and returned to me. The shipping deadline is Monday. I called and...

I sent my second round entries out today. I watched in disbelief as the FedEx guy loaded the box sideways into the truck. Does "this end up" mean anything? I have to wonder how many of the beers I have shipped travel on their side or arrive that way. Hoping they will be OK once unpacked and...

The dog barfed from the gas? Hahahahaha.

Sorry. It does still work. 0.037 / .685 = 0.054. It is a simple way to calculate boil off.

Preboil was at 1.037 (9.4 brix) at 10 gallons (exact) Postboil was at 1.048 (12.3 brix) at 6.85 gallons Boiled off 3.15 gallons over the 70 minute boil. Left about a gallon in the brew kettle (trub/hops). 5.8 gallons into the fermenter. ---- 1.037 divided by remaining wort (.685 or 6.85g/10g) =...

This post may be a little late - I was quietly holding out hope that I placed another beer. My California Common finished 2nd in KC. Out of five beers, it was my second lowest score. I feel like I am heading into the finals with a weak hand. Rebrewed last week; hopefully this one is a hair...

Sounds practical. Is there any impact on hop utilization? Do you leave the bag in the carboy while siphoning or do you normally squeeze it through the narrow neck of the carboy first?

I think I just ruined my beer... I dry hopped a 5 gallon batch of Citra APA with 2 ounces of whole leaf hops for 7 days. Despite floating at the top of the secondary, the hops managed to clog my siphon to the bottling bucket almost immediately. The result was a mixture of bubbles and beer...

I have been interested in brewing test batches with one or two gallons instead of five. Are there any factors I need to consider in scaling back up to a normal sized batch?

More!!! This is hilarious.
