My 1 gallon aluminum pitcher from NB. Indispensible. Susie

Thanks, Malt.

I like the black and navy. Splattered wort will not be as visible. :mug: Susie

I guess they didn't mind a less sweet wort. My first blow-off! So proud!

Thanks for all the encouragement. You guys are the best. The 1.040 was after the boil. I probably could have boiled longer but was afraid I would have had to boil off too much. Anyway, cooled the wort down overnight to 68 and pitched Wyeast 3068 today. I hope those munchers don't mind less sweet...

Made EdWort's Hefeweizen today cuz my last attempt at a Hefe was far from stellar. So I was ready...new HLT...doing a batch Sparge per Ed's routine...thought I was golden. Then I added the rice hulls that I soaked and rinsed in COLD water to the mash tun with my 170.8 degree water, shooting for...

I dunno...I'm torn. $18 is a bit much for an "upgrade", but I do prefer it over Beersmith. Something to ponder over a beer...:mug: Susie

Does anyone know if there will be an upgrade from IBM1 to IBM2? Discount? Susie

High temp tubing for my newly built mash tun and a refractometer, all from AHS. Susie

Thanks, all. I do like SNPA on a hot day. I will check out the others. Actually, I am going to take a slight dip (instead of the plunge) and brew EdWort's Haus Pale Ale. Ordered the ingredients today. Am I brave or what. ;)

Hi, all; I've always thought that IPAs would be way too bitter for my tastes, but it sounds like the bitterness is not always overwhelming? What would be a good IPA to start with for a bitterness-shy person? Thanks. Susie

No, I haven't but will add it to the list. Thanks. Susie

Too bad. There are so few LHBSs in the area you would think he could be a little nicer. Thanks for the heads up. Susie

On my brewing notes binder. Susie

I'm in. Wow! Susie

This is how we all learn. :mug: Susie

I use an Elmer's glue stick like the kids get for school. It's water-soluble so comes off easily for bottle reuse. The drawback is sticking the bottles in a cooler, but this time of year, no problem. Susie

Thanks, Kevin! I love free things...especially free beer things.

Road trip! Thanks! Susie
