I always thought it smelled like soup. I always end up making vegetable beef soup when I brew, because the smell makes me crave it.

New recipe idea? ;-)

Turbidity was one what I wondered about, as well as Total Dissolved Solids, and Total Suspended Solids.

I would hope you wouldn't have the need to use a nephelometer in your brew. haha... BTW, I'm in San Diego also. Just checked out Alesmith for the first time last week. Great place.

I sell Hanna meters daily. I have a warehouse full of storage solutions, as well as the pH buffer solutions, so I can always calibrate it here at work. The reason for my question too, is because, while I can easily grab an affordable meter to only test pH, we also rent and sell multi-parameter...

I'm going to be purchasing a small pH tester, and since my company sells environmental equipment, I can get mine extremely cheap. I'm curious what instruments everyone uses. I will be purchasing a Hanna meter. However, I'm curious if anyone tests for other parameters, like ORP, Dissolved...

I've been anticipating finally getting my beer bottled up this weekend, as it's been sitting in the buckets for a few weeks. We noticed this morning that the airlock had been knocked off of the bucket by a falling object. I'm not sure how long it was out for, but it was less than 24 hours. The...

I'd like to hear recipes that any of you have used to brew a beer with higher alcohol content. I do extract brewing.. haven't tried all-grain just yet. :fro:

Sam Adams created a glass that they say enhances the beer. And then today I was on Pier 1's website looking for some cool beer glasses, and they have a Tasting Set that contains 6 glasses, each shaped differently, and each said to be for different styles of beer... which leads to my question...

I didn't expect the answers to make me laugh... and GenIke, the same thing crossed my mind when I created the subject line...

Is it REALLY unsafe to drink that last swallow containing the bottom sediment? :tank:

This morning I found the lid of my fermenting bucket melted on top of the stove. I see that Midwest has a lid for around $2. How can I be sure it will fit my bucket (from the True Brew system). Are all 6.5 gallon buckets the same size? As I was browsing the site, I saw I can get a glass...

After finally bottling my beer, I ran out of time and had no choice but to let my fermenting bucket sit for a week. I filled it with hot water after bottling, with some of the sanitizing cleanser, but otherwise couldn't touch it for a week. When I went to clean it, I noticed some mold growing on...

By "enamel", do you mean the porcelain black pots with white speckles? Hopefully so, because that's what I ended up getting. Guaranteed to "not alter the taste, texture, or color of food".

Last weekend I finally took the next step from the Mr Beer kits, and got a bigger kit during a road trip to Tucson. I don't recall the name of the store, but I was blown away the moment I walked in there, and the sales guy was awesome. Anyhow, the kit consists of a 5 gallon fermenting...
