Yep. The beer just hangs in the air. LOL

Thanks all! Agree....I am not brewing specifically to the volume per se but the equipment profile and thus recipes are built on assumptions that I would like to be able to validate with some accuracy. In theory, the more I can measure with confidence, the less "why did that happen?". :) I...

That's what I'm talkin' about!!!!! LOL. Good advice. I am just hoping to get PreB, PostB and Fermenter volumes to be a little more accurate.

As you'd expect both my SS Brewtech kettle and fermenter have gallon and liter markings. I work in gallons. My question is how do you dial in volumes using these markings. Once you have wort you can't really move the stuff from one measuring vessel to another without risk of spillage or...

I said the same yesterday. Lots of overplayed drama in the sport.

This may sound like a stupid question but I am ok with that. Do you all update your recipes with actual result once the beer is packaged? I have never done that in part because my results are not always on target and I don't want to lead others astray! :)

Yikes indeed. North FL is HUMID here this time of year. I spent several weeks out on Wassaw Island during the summer so I feel your pain

OK gang......My point was simply that your comments were worth printing. At 64 I will be lucky if I remember to print them.

Funny.....

ZIZ Yes, I crush my own....twice.

I am printing all this advice. :)

Thanks everyone. Super helpful. Connecting some of these dots is what I was missing. Leaning too much on other's recipes seems to be much of the issue. I have the beer styles judges book and will look to brew to the style and use the software to get me there. Seems like a 60 min mash should...

Ok, perhaps I am over thinking (reading too much internet) this. Should I stop the mash when a) 60 mins is up, b) a refractometer show I hit numbers, c) when iodine test show conversion is complete? I am now thinking that the answer is "b" when I hit the numbers. In theory I could have maybe...

So today I brewed a pilsner (my first). Been brewing off and on, extract and all grain BIAB for years but had not really been overly concerned about the numbers. HOWEVER, now that I am retired I have been trying to add a bit more science to the brew. So again, today I brewed a pilsner....a...

Interesting. I just restarted the computer and did not see the CloudFar Dialog upon logging back in. Thanks.
