    Alcohol content

    Seconding a misreading of the hydrometer, broken hydrometer, somethin. A quick wit recipe through beersmith yielding 5.6% ABV (like you originally said) should have an OG of 1.053, replacing your Candi sugar with corn sugar only bumps it up to 1.054.

    Another first time brewer checking in.

    Not necessarily the end of the world. After 7-8 days chill one and crack it to check it. Not carved enough? Wait 24-48 hours and try another. Continue until it's perfect then put em all in the fridge to get the yeast to sleep

    What Beer Turned You on to Craft Beer?

    What got me into craft beer was Widmer Hefeweizen. Pretty good beer, very approachable to a guy who (at that time) knew he didn't like light lagerbut didn't know what he liked. And it all snowbaes from there

    Who drinks commercial beers?

    I think OP might be talking more about BMC than commercial beer in general. I drink commercially quite often, research as someone else said! :) BMC... I'm good. Partially because I don't like most of their offerings. But also because if I'm going to spend money I'd rather support a...

    Who prefers bottling over kegging?

    I've actually never bottled a whole batch of beer. I've filled a dozen bottles or so from kegs to give to friends and family, but never a whole batch. After I made my "initial equipment buy", I bought my kegging stuff while my first batch was still in the fermenter. I watched a bunch of...

    Control Panel Enclosure Question

    Also interested in this! I'm getting ready to assemble a BrewTroller system and just need something for a couple switches and ssr's, and to handle power. Tough finding an enclosure that doesn't break the bank!

    Water filter

    However you plumb your water just put the filter in line behind the valve you'll use. Then it will always be "under pressure".

    eBrew Conversion: eKettle and RIMS Cooler (Questions)

    Just wanted to run my plans past the experts and make sure I'm not missing anything that could throw a huge wrench in my plans. Assistance would be appreciated! I currently run off a propane burner with my 10g pot for 5 gallon batches, and converted cooler. My desire is to build a new wooden...

    Best all in on kegging kit?

    True story. I think one of my best investments to date has been setting up my fermentation chamber.

    Fermentation Chamber.

    Yah fridge doesn't regulate temp for crap, gonna pick up another controller at my LHBS tomorrow along with a few other odds and ends for my next batch.

    Fermentation Chamber.

    Yup. You can't see it and these pics but the left side is the bag of the fridge where it can breathe. Purposely cut that a little longer just to give it the appearance of a finished edge. Almost forgot to though when I started! I haven't give. It a serious run for its money yet, and I still...
