Great Job, Sketer. Can't wait to see the full results. Not having high hopes for my AIPA after seeing so many IPA entries in the other judging center results. 50+ IPAs is stiff competition, but mine is distinctly West Coast, so maybe it stands out among the East Coasters.

Today I'm brewing my take on a Fat Tire. I borrowed from a recipe I found online called "Flat Ass Tired". Here's the start of the 60 min boil. Sent from HBT mobile Pri: empty Sec: empty Keg: Vienna Lager Bottled: Robust Porter and American IPA

Not for beer, but I whipped up a batch of white wine for SWMBO. 1 gal from 3 cans of Welch's white concentrate with a cup of table sigar. 25.7 deg plato so I figure around 13‰ abv. We'll see how it comes out. Sent from HBT mobile Pri: empty Sec: empty Keg: Vienna Lager Bottled: Robust...

Racked my President's Day American IPA to the secondary. SG was 1.019. I was shooting for 1.016 but it could drop a point or two in secondary, though I doubt it. Next up dry hop and get it in bottles next weekend. I have to ship it to Philly on the 10th for the AHA Nationals. Just curious...

Fair enough. The tongue and cheek nature of your post just didn't come through in the text-based medium. No worries. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Home Brew mobile app

I'm all for an easy going thread to estimate how much we are all contributing to the great hobby of ours, but the effort it took to proclaim one's laziness is more work than adding a couple of numbers together. I'm sure people are not so lazy when they use math in their brewing. If you are...

Here's my take on the Jamil show 100 BBL recipe related by Steve Dresler on the Jamil show in 2011. I scaled the recipe down from 3100 gal to five gals in MS Excel and tweaked it using BeerrSmith. My first attempt came out a little darker and maltier than the commercial example, but was still...

Attended my first local HB club meeting and joined on the spot. Like any diverse group of people, there were folks from all levels of experience. I was a little intimidated by the thought of presenting two of my beers, a robust porter and an American IPA, but after trying the other HB, mine...

Late check in from President's day. Brewed 5 gallons American IPA. 5,733 + 5 = 5,738 Sent from my SPH-L710 using Home Brew mobile app

Paid for my entries in the AHA Nationals. Didn't make it on the first cut but I guess some of the lucky first rounders didn't pay up, so I got the nod yesterday to send in some beer. Just checked on the American IPA and the yeasties are happy! Sent from my SPH-L710 using Home Brew mobile app

So I've been lurking around here for a while, too, and I have also been drooling over the $99 stir plates I see in all the shiny catalogs. Sure beats getting up and swirling the flask every hour. Well, after reading many posts and watching a few videos, I decided to scrounge my "spare parts"...
