Think it has anything to do with the White Labs fiasco?

So, of course this begins with a mistake I made: forgetting to record a final gravity before adding fruit to a kettle sour. Oh yeah, and brewing notes blew away in the wind at the end of the brew, so I also have that going for me. SG was around 1.052, FG was supposed to be 1.013. I...

Are female homebrewers really this rare?! They can't be; I know plenty of female pro brewers. I knew this was kind of a boys club but this thread is crazy. *I* got my husband into homebrewing a few years ago and now we both brew together as well as on our own stuff. I took him on our first...

In case anyone else is looking, here’s what I came up with: Ca2/80 Mg2/5 SO4/80 NA/25 Cl/75 HCO3/100 I don’t know the accuracy of this, but it came from Someone at Smurttynose. Cheers!

Does any kind soul here have a water report for this town? I can't seem to find anything usable. Thanks in advance!

That's why i felt so stupid; the explanation didn't make sense either. Those sizes are already entered whenever I create a recipe, which made me think I was really missing something. It feels counter-intuitive to select a 5 gallon 'into the fermentor' size and have trub/grain/boil off come off...

Not that I can see. It has a dropdown menu for mash types but not boil.

I'm entering a clone recipe into Brewer's Friend for a 5 gal all grain batch. So, my target going into the fermentor is set to 5 gallons. This automatically calculates a boil size of 4.25 gallons. Why, oh why, is my boil size lower that my fermentor size? What am I missing here?

Is this sold?

Hi- still have this?

Hi- is the temp controller included or would I need to buy one seperately? Thank you!

That is sad to hear, but I'm so glad you posted this so we can all know the deal. Obviously that means that my order from January isn't ever going to ship, so what do you think I (and others in the same boat) do about getting a refund? Hopefully the website gets taken down soon; I just now...

Sooo.. We just bottled a porter that, in hindsight, is almost certainly underfermented. The wort was barely aerated and the yeast (wyeast 1187) was a smack pack that didn't inflate. The lag time was long- 2 days until we saw any signs, then chugged along alright for 3 or 4 days, racked to...
