So I just ran into a new problem: my house's thermostat's batteries died, some time this morning. I was working upstairs at my desk and suddenly realized I was absolutely freezing. I noticed the problem and changed the batteries and the heat just kicked back on. But it got down to 60F in...

As part of a larger order last February or March, I bought a Norther Brewer AG Ordinary Bitter kit. It's now 8 or 9 months later and that kit is still sitting around. In 3-4 weeks I will be a new first time father, so I figured I'd better get on this before my inevitable hiatus from brewing...

I know that this has been discussed at length (I've read 10+ threads here after a search), but I still can't determine what's right for my situation, so I'm just going to ask directly. I'm an all-grain brewer. I usually stick to smaller beers, since things like a quality Ordinary Bitter are so...

Long story short: My digital probe thermometer started giving unreliable readings about halfway through my mash, but I didn't realize it until I was sparging. I missed my pre-boil gravity by 11 points and my OG by 10 points. I am sure it will still be a fine beer, but if I wanted to keep...
