Morning BORG :borg: It's been over two years since I checked in with y'all and alot has happened in that time frame... My company shut down in May 2020 and I proceeded to try to drink myself to death... finally went into detox in Aug 2020 been sober since... That being said I haven't lost my taste f...

Just plain ol' white shrooms you get in the produce aisle...
wife and myself use them in quite a few things!

Great looking bird berryman... :) this one is totally your fault because of the food pron you posted a couple of weeks ago... had to try it and it was dericious! :p Also, did some smoked ice for my bourbon! Happy belated Father's Day guys! :cheers: IMAG1132_resized.jpg IMAG1135_resized.jpg

With shipping two sacks cost me $79.45 which comes out to somewhere
around .72 a lb...
The discount actually paid for the shipping

I now have to come up with a storage solution myself...

Want to make sure this is clear - this will affect your OG (make it higher/lower). But it doesn't explain 90% attenuation from whatever that is.

Understand, my next move is to visit my local brew store and pick up a couple of new buckets...

Got an email for this this morning... Viking 2 row...55 lbs for $25... don't know how good the grain is, I have 110 lbs of grain on the way! :D :borg: https://www.morebeer.com/?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PPC%20%7C%20MoreBeer%20%7C%20Branded&utm_term=morebeer&utm_cont...

Kegging what I refer to as HoppySan..
Warrior first wort hop then all the other
additions are Sorachi Ace, which I find dericious!
Est ABV 6.9..came in at 7.8%...

Thanks Dawg...I had now idea it would change things that drastically...
guess I'll have to get a set of feeler gauges and try to find my optimal
setting!

Morning guys, Looking back at the recipes I noticed I did change my mash thickness/ratio to 1.5 qts per pound, with that and the mill gap i'm not sure if it would change my efficiency that drastically, because I had no idea how much of the whole grain was making it thru the mill into the mash... My ...

Afternoon BORG :borg: , back for my quarterly visit and to ask more than enough questions... :p I brew in spells...when time and/or money allows. I've brewed three times since the first week of May, last time before that Jan 5. I asked y'all about low efficiency in Oct and got lotsa great input... n...

I know, for myself, My bi monthly paycheck deductions are 38.5% of my base pay... this includes taxes, insurance, union dues and 401k deductions...pretty spot on too. This helps me figure finances and since my wife and I have actually gotten a handle on this, It has really helped us start saving mor...

Didn't Mr Beer, which most of us started with, promise drinkable beer within 14 days?

Most of us found out differently, but since going all grain, I can have drinkable beer, with
forced carbonation, within 10 days...

Kicked two kegs yesterday, so I'm kegging my Sorachi Ace IPA that I brewed on Jan 7... That'll go straight to the keezer. I'll also keg the Blonde Bastard 30 minute experimental brew, throw about 12 hrs of 30 PSI C02 on it, and set it in the corner of my fermentation room to wait for an opening in t...

I've been using an ITC 308 on my keezer's for about 3 years now...
it was reasonably priced, easy to set and so far, no problems...
I like it

Hard to believe it's been seven years since I started brewing... Started in Feb of 2012 with a Mr. Beer kit I bought during a closeout on Woot... my dental hygienist told me about how her husband and herself had a LHBS and talked me into a visit... they now run a brewery next door to the store. Well...
