Well that is a mighty nice giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity. I'm in!

Was about to order the combo deal until I realized that the shipping for one magazine was $4.50 but the shipping for two magazines was $8.00. Does it really cost $3.50 more to ship one more magazine in the same package? I know... it is the cost of a coffee at Starbucks, but $8 for shipping two...

5 gallons of a Munich Helles 6 gallons of an American Brown Ale

I brewed an American Brown Ale today. Getting ready to bottle my Munich Helles this coming week.

Unibroue's Trois Pistoles.

Brewed up a 5-gallon batch of Uncle James Brown Ale, and drilled holes in both of my Speidel (30L & 20L) lids and installed grommets and thermowells. Good times.

So we have a nice thunderstorm rolling through Northern Colorado right now and it took out our power. I've got a Helles down in the basement two weeks into fermentation (just moved it to secondary yesterday and my lagering temps are ramping down to 32.5) So my question is... when the power comes...

Thanks for the tip. I had the Mrs try a sip and one of my homebrew buddies try a sip and neither of them were able to pick up on much of any butter or butterscotch smell or taste. So while I'm sure it is there at least in part, it isn't too noticeable. I've sped the ramp up to 4 degrees per day...

So I brewed a munich helles last Sunday (8 days ago). I pitched at 51° and held it for 5 days before I started a slow (2 degree per day) ramp up to 66. So I'm only up to about 56.5 right now on the ramp up to 66. I just did a reading and taste test. I went from an OG of 1.047 to a current...

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Well let me try another question. Let's say I start out with an hy2 of 8. If I realize during the running of the profile that I'm overshooting by 2 degrees during cooling and I want to change the hy2 from 8 to something like 6.5 and see how that affects it. Am I able to go in and update hy2...

I have read lots about single-sensor setups but I haven't seen much (especially from a documentation or how-to standpoint) for dual sensors.

I've only been brewing for a couple of years, but I haven't heard anything too off. Nine times out of ten it seems like I get a "cool" or "I would like to learn how to do that." Just this week I had some family roll in to town and I mentioned I was going to brew (this Friday) a batch for the...

I purchased a STC-1000+ setup with dual sensors. I've got a temperature profile ready for a Munich Helles, but I'm not quite sure how to adjust the setup to take advantage of the second sensor. I'll have the first sensor in a thermowell right in the middle of my beer, and the second sensor will...

I've made plenty of yeast starters before, but they have all been single steps for ales. I'm doing my first lager and I've already completed, crashed, and decanted my first step. I'm ready to step it up a second time but I was curious... for those of you who have done multiple step ups, do you...
