Thanks all, I think I will just what TwoCrows suggested and water down in the glass if needed.

Hi all, I made another all grain batch of an American pale ale a couple of weeks ago that I have done many times before. It has always turned out to be 5% give or take. For whatever reason, the wort ended up at a much higher gravity this time and has ended up resulting in a beer of about 6.5%...

Marvellous idea, (hot steep in a small amount of wort) wished I'd thought of that! Thanks.

Just finished brewing my favourite ale, (Fatyak clone). Almost always turns out very well. After I finished cleaning up, I had this niggling feeling that I had forgotten something. There was supposed to be a 0 minute addition of 12g of Nelson Sauvigon, and 12g of Cascade. What does a "0 minute"...

No I don't have any photos as yet, I am not home at the moment. As far as moisture goes, the base that the keg sit on is plastic, so moisture wouldn't affect it. The only electronics contained in the fridge are the sensors. It looks as though that they are fairly well sealed, so it shouldn't be...

Just in the process of developing / building a decent and simple to use keg level meter. Basically, it's just the old idea of monitoring the kegs weight, but with custom built electronic scales. The base that the keg sits on is only slightly bigger than the footprint of the keg, therefore not...

I have been using a hydrometer for years and finally lashed out and got a refractometer recently. I know that after the wort starts to ferment, the refractometer will not read accurately. But from what I have understood, the two instruments should read the same on starting gravity.I have noticed...
