I saw this and thought: OMG he went with a volume measurement instead of using a scale?!? So to find out just how badly you'd over carbonated, I filled a shot glass to the 1.0 ounce line with table sugar, and I'll be damned, my scale said it weighed 0.98 ounce! So should be safe! Then I guess...

It's definitely a WEIGHT measurement there, bmac! If you don't trust it, switch it to metric, plug in your beer volume in liters (41.6 -ish), and it'll tell you how many grams...

Use this for all your priming calculations: https://www.brewersfriend.com/beer-priming-calculator/ Make a solution for your priming sugar, so that it will mix well with your beer (boil a cup or two of water, add in your priming sugar, stir until all dissolved). Let it cool a bit, and dump this...

well ****, google no longer describes "grokking" as "developing a deep understanding", in favor of some AI ******** 💩

Grokking what Brewer's Friend can do to calculate a given recipe's and water-source, needs to hit a desired water profile. Reading this website almost daily for new insights and watch-out-fer's

A nice, smooth 11% Backwoods Bastard!

Oh wow, I wish they shipped that to Minnesota! How is it? to keep on topic: drankin' a Vodka & Fresca :rock: back off-topic: sigh, MN sports team curse strikes again 💩

I'm totally stealing that! :drunk:

Just finished a quick recipe that I brew regularly, and now that I've got my mill straightened out (and tightened down), the OG came out spot on for the first time in months!!! Thanks again, @day_trippr !

Bottled 5 gallons of a Bourbon County Stout clone! Then I made 2 gallons of sugar-wash for a seltzer that my wife requested -- so easy! Only boiled a cup of water (plus 2 grams of fermaid-K), dumped in a full 2 lb package of sugar, and then 2 gallons of distilled water, plus the yeast. Took a...

If it smells (and tastes) fine, it should be perfectly fine. Probably just suspended yeast. For what it's worth, running bottles thru the dishwasher is unlikely to get enough water up inside the bottles to do much, tho the heated drying cycle should definitely sterilize everything. My bottle...

Now compare Ritebrew.com yeast prices to Morebeer or NorthernBrewer! If you're okay with US postal service delivery, Ritebrew will ship a couple of packs of dry yeast for the cost of a postage stamp! update: well shoot, now I don't see the option to snail-mail dry yeast any more...

Thanks, I thought those were tight, but actually, they were just barely finger tight. After I actually tightened it, the gap adjuster ain't moving one bit!

I think it was always fairly loose/easily turned, but it's gotten more noticeable the last couple of times I've used it.

Everything is "tight", except for the actual gap-adjusting part, which spins with very little force. If I bump the mill at all (like when sliding it to the other side of the bucket to use my other arm for a while), it goes straight to it's loosest setting. Bought this mill somewhere around...
