Okay, so if anyone still cares... Refractometer's definitely bust. But, what's the go with the hydro reading 7pts lower than the pre-boil? Post boil was supposed to read 1.059, so has the unfermented wort found some yeast or what?

I get that. But, as it was free and has a density measure I thought it'd do just fine. The SG matches up with the ppt on a calculator I found, so for all intents and purposes it should measure the same, and if I punch the SG (or ppt) into a calculator I should get an adjusted measure for Brix, no?

Gah! I meant salinity refractometer. The readings were all at 20*C

I was brewing an APA and broke my trusty hydrometer before the final OG reading (pre-boil was 1.051), and of course it was a saturday, so I saved a sampling a cup and covered it in glad wrap and waited for my new Hydrometer from fleaBay. I was given a refractometer on Monday and thought I'd...

Nope. They don't provide the relevant data (see above). I called them to get what I was after, to which they said they'd have to do detailed testing. Do you really think I wouldn't Google first? No jerky for you.

Hi folks! I was wondering if anyone has the water profile for Adelaide, particularly the bits applicable to BeerSmith (Ca, Mg, Na, SO4, and HCO3). I've got the pH (7.0-7.9 avg 7.3), but the others have to be specifically tested at a cost of around $150. I can't say this knowledge would...

Contacted KK, they couldn't give me a date for the release of the 65L, just said sometime next year. Also said the 65L will sell for "around $700".

How is the build on this? Is it poorly manufactured or likely to last a lifetime?

Cheers for the welcome guys. I'll definitely give those podcasts a crack.

Howdy! I'm an avid beer drinker, but have only just started brewing. I'm halfway through an extract brew (black rock Pale Ale with some finishing hops). Actually, I gave brewing a go a couple of years ago with one of those brew kegs from target. That ended pretty horribly. I think down the...
