Show us your boil

Coffee Porter
I can't believe how much I missed my gravity by! 1059 - 1036! Hydrometer,and refractometer agree, so not an I instrument issue.
Added all the DME I had on hand and brought it up to 1040, going to boil it down to 8.5 gallons (from 11.8) to get to 1052. That will give me about 5%, that will be respectable. It just won't be the robust porter I expected.
Anyway it looks and smells lovely!

Sample sure was robust, I think once it finishes up I will crash it for a solid week.

Looks like their strapped in and ready to brew!

I had some weird results my brew a couple weeks ago too where I ended up with weirdly low OG but way more liquid than I expected. So clearly someone got into my brew when I wasn't watching and sabotaged it.

The boil slows down a lot with the lid off to take a picture.

Nice paddle.
Shouldn’t the lid be kept off the pot during the boil?

That's the st story unless that doodad water line is some steam remover mechanism...

Thanks, my neighbor makes them. He stopped by one day and said: "try this out, we're thinking of making them."

That doodad with the water line as Ben says is a steam condenser. It creates a slight vacuum in the kettle and all the steam goes down the effluent line.

Not a bad boil for over 5000' above sea level in a Grainfather!

The boil from a kettle soured berliner weisse was so foamy, it looked like a latte

 

[BOB357]

About half way through my first 90 minute boil in the Digiboil. Made a few volume adjustments to try and pick up my efficiency. Mash efficiency is great, but looking for a few more points in BHE.
Also, first time using Bravo for bittering. Man, do they smell good!

First boil in my new homebrew electric rig.
