    Issues creating Gose recipe in Brewers Friend

    Hi- are you talking about in the mash steps, where you have the step by step instructions? If so, you can add any custom steps in the list by clicking ‘add step’:

    Any reptile identifiers out there?

    There is a guy in one of my snake facebook groups who said something like "If you see a snake and back away and leave it alone, you have a 0% chance of being bitten". The snakes that you don't see until you step on them or get too close are the ones that would be dangerous of course. There...

    Any reptile identifiers out there?

    I can't see it very well, so if you have a better photo that would be helpful but from this angle, it looks like an Eastern rat snake, In Florida, we have a yellow (eastern) rat snake that has those long stripes. If I could see the head I could probably say definitively. There are two snakes...

    All Grain Mash Out: Why 168°F Changes Everything in Beer Making!

    Yes, that's totally true. I used to do exactly the same with my old HERMS as it was easy and pretty hands off, and I made great beer. I went from a traditional mash out with the system. Then, I decided to save some time. Doing a batch sparge sort of is a mash out- You add 175 (or...

    All Grain Mash Out: Why 168°F Changes Everything in Beer Making!

    I used to mash out most of the time when I did a continuous sparge more than 20 years ago. I was a faithful follower of a very very slow sparge with no channelling, allowing 45 minutes to an hour for the sparge. After a couple of years of that I realized I was wasting time and electricity...

    Brewday!

    Yep, except when Im in Florida. And it seems we are not above sea level at all, except right in the middle of our property, where the GIS models tell me it’s a whopping 2 feet above in that one spot, with the rest of the house and property under 1 according to their map. We don’t always have...

    Brewday!

    Yes, I imagine so. But I just shrug and don't really care. I mean, boiling is boiling and I really don't get interested in the temperature until chilling, and then it seems like the accuracy is better (within 4 or 5 degrees).

    Bottling mild

    One of my favorite styles! I should make one soon. I sort of forget about how much I like it until I get reminded I guess.

    Brewday!

    No, I don't even use the malt pipe at all- it's put somewhere like on a shelf. I use a hops spider with a paint straining bag for quite a few of my IPAs. I also have the one that I got with the Brewzilla, but the holes are so tight that it impacts the utilization so much that I only used it...

    Tilt not connecting to Brewer's Friend

    I’m sure this was resolved, but just in case it wasn’t you I was working with over the weekend, please let me know.

    Tilt not connecting to Brewer's Friend

    Your Pi is clearly seeing BLUE, but it's only sending us RED, one reading every 15 minutes. Nothing from BLUE has ever hit our servers, which lines up with it going quiet on your Google Sheet too. In Tilt Pi each Tilt has its own tile with its own cloud URL, so fixing RED wouldn't have touched...
