    Perlick Flow Control Taps - All Foam Wtf?

    For my sins I play golf and go fishing. There is more ******** sold in both of these pass times than beneficial accessories - sadly I'm afraid to admit home brewing falls into this category also.

    Refractometer Acting Up?

    Nathan, I have not had this happen but I think your sample drawn with a pipette is too hot and when it cools leaves a residual skin on the lens.
