From my heavy reading on water chem, 5.2-5.6 is the range you want, measured at 20c.

Keep it for small test batches? Otherwise looks more annoying to clean than a large fermenter.

Anyone else have an issue with Beersmith 2 not adjusting the FG based on mash temp? I change the mash temp and no change to the estimated FG...the option for this in Advanced is enabled.

I'd rather Foo Fighters than top 40 ****. Just put the radio on Gold and be done with it. Not like any craft beer bars are going to play the kind of metal I like etc.

Not even Mythbusters would bother with this experiment. The result is a forgone conclusion.

Def not the salts, I have the opposite problem and have been using salts in all 3 AG brews so far.

Yea I have gone to that store for last minute dry yeast. Not fond of the service there.

Do it. Don't sacrifice quality/freshness for some tightarses 80c.

Sorry you are right. Did you have any chunks in the hydro tube though?

With extract, there is not going to be much variance in OG from the predicted OG...I would say you didn't stir enough or dissolve all the malt. It will still ferment out fine though. I don't think 600gm of specialty malts will add 20 gravity points either... Many people have said dry hopping...

I have 2 of the STC-1000 pre built from Keg King. The ferment fridge has a variance of .1c, with the probe wire and a lamp cord going between the door seal. Low wattage lamp in the crisper keeps it perfect.

This was my first foray into hops, and quite decent. I would double the hops though, 25gms was too subtle for me. http://www.coopers.com.au/the-brewers-guild/how-to-brew/ale/fruit-salad-ale

$9 for the glass...I can live with that. Might pick up 2 of them... Cheers.

Yea I tried the Pale Ale, tipped it out. ******* horrible.

Brewed on Saturday, first use of Mosaic and Citra, in an APA I need to keg and carb on Saturday morning... Hit OG and volume targets. Hope this ends up tasty :) Batch Size: 20L Style: American Pale Ale () Boil Size: 30L Style Guide: BJCP 2008 Color: 6.1 SRM Equipment: My Equipment Bitterness...

I made a bottom collar for my keezer and screwed on 4 castors. Easy to move it around.

Cracked one tonight. Not bad, but I wont be going back for more. Much prefer Holgate's ESB or even my Hobgoblin clone which is almost 1 week in the keg. It has a pleasant citrus start, but the finish reminds me a bit of Aussie megaswill, but with a bit more malt.

Anyone else that has had trouble finding it, I located some bottles to finally try. Purvis Beer on Bridge Rd (Melbourne) have a few bottles left.

Had a Holgate APA, then Bridge Road Irish Red Ale, then the above. Balance on the Hop Hog is quite good, nice pine/citrus nose but not bitter enough IMO for an IPA. Maybe FWH involved. Would explain the smooth bitterness and perceived lower IBU. The body probably keeps this in IPA range rather...

Looks good. Transitions are a little slow for my liking though, and when moving across the top, the drop down menus stick around 2x as long as they should I feel. Spelling mistake in the description of Caliente (lok should be look).
