I did, and it's down to 1.022, which is close enough to 1.019. I think where I got hung up is my Tilt. It reads 1.026, so the calibration is off or it's just goofy. Thanks for all the help!

You just gave me a reason to take another hydrometer reading and another taste. The gravity has dipped to 1.024, maybe 1.025, so perhaps it's still cleaning up after itself. There's probably one bubble every minute or so in my blowoff jar. The sample still tastes green, but I expect that from a...

Yeah, I was just throwing it out there. I'm at a loss.

Hydrometer.

I have not.

I brewed a Weizenbock 12 days ago. OG was 1.076, FG is supposed to be 1.019. The yeast is Wyeast 3068 and fermentation was furious the first few days. The gravity was at 1.029 after 36 hours. But it has only gotten to 1.026-27. I've raised the temperature to as high as 74 and shaken the...

That's cool. Thanks. It backs up one of life's golden rules: drink faster.

Just curious: What would be the result of shutting off temperature control on a lager after 4 weeks and then having it sit in the fermenter at room temperature for two weeks? This shouldn't be an issue for me because I live in a cold climate and can lower the thermostat in my house to 54 while...

Chamomile tea ... you might be onto something here.

Dear Abby: I've been brewing for two years, and after about a year of using a Mash & Boil, I finally feel like I have things dialed in. I enjoy brewing this way. And yet ... something about a 3-vessel system calls to me. I'm not sure what it is. The shiny vessels? The idea that it looks more...

Looks good!

That was my wet dream in college.

… when you consider telling her “no.”

Nicely played.
