Gekufu Wine Hop Filter I ended up getting this basket off Amazon. I brewed a Kolsch with 9 lbs grain. Had plenty of room. Picture is at end of mash. I used a plastic mash paddle & fairly thin mash. I think it would comfortably hold 12 lbs. If i get excited to try an imperial stout, I'll see if...

Dang, I need to get on here more often. Water calculators were the main thing I was missing.

A couple of the handles on my brew bag started to fray. Pretty sure it will not make it through another brew. Thinking of upgrading to a stainless steel mesh basket. Seems Morebeer & NB have just hop baskets. I swear I saw mash baskets 3 or 4 years ago. Anybody have links to baskets they use or...

Cool to see the app in the play store. Just downloaded it Friday & playing around with it. Wondering if all the calculators will be added in future versions?

My OG came out at 1.070. Expected was 1.055. FG 1.010. Almost 8% ABV. I plan to bottle this batch, so I have 2 ideas. 1) let it ride at the higher ABV. 2) dilute with gallon of water which should get me to about 6% or so if my math is correct. Any thoughts on the choices?

App still not live? I don't see it in the play store.

Thank you for the update.

Android app not showing in play store. Link above also not showing.

Got lazy the other day, so the Irish Red went into 8 bottles today to take to NY in a couple weeks and the rest in the keg.

Set the temp controller, turn it on & a couple hours later the fermenter is reading 84 F. It is helpful to plug the heat belt into the controller & not directly into the outlet.

Actually came a couple days ago.

Hopefully bottle & keg Irish Red.

Still in progress. Eventually will be complete. Working on draft tower since taps & parts arrived.

Will brew an Irish Red today. And hopefully do a little more work on the Keezer.

Yeah I will have to tweak this one. Crystal 40 was added, but I may need to consider some darker malts next go round. The glass is part of a flight gift set my wife purchased. Works well for tasting & not pouring an entire pint.
