I dropped off my 15a Weizen/Weissbier yesterday.
Ill be bringing some to the meeting as well, so far everyone that has tried it liked it, but I don’t know if there just to nice to say otherwise...

I entered 2 beers in two different categories each, it's a reach but I figured what the heck. American Amber Ale / American IPA Robust Porter / Sweet Stout I know......It will be interesting to see these sheets. Brian Got my score sheets back today and It wasn’t too bad..... Beer #1 Robust Porter: ...

I only have one magnet and its about 1.5”. My stir bar is 2”. I guess that’s the issue.

I’m sure that’s it; I just haven’t gotten around to picking up some new magnets. Where would be an easy place to pick up some strong magnets, Frys?

After scavenging parts over time I finally started to assemble a stir plate. Now that it’s pretty much together I’m having a problem. The stir bar isn’t spinning; I guess that’s a huge problem....

I agree too. I have a fridge (that i acquired for free :D )in the garage that i converted with two faucets and i love it. The only other thing i would suggest is to look in a chest freezer because you could start out with 1 or 2 taps and build up from there without needing to replace it. Look on cra...

I very rarely measure pre-boil gravity. I know my system pretty well so that I have a good enough idea of where the beer's going to end up and I just take what I get. That’s what I was thinking and it's how I’ve done it so far, but I was thinking that specific styles call for specific gravity’s and...

When trying to hit the target OG during the boil using a hydrometer what is the best way hit that number and determine when to start your hop additions? For example: as I boil the wert it will concentrate raising the gravity correct? When is an appropriate time to pull off a sample, cool it and take...

When and how do we find out our scores?
Do we just wait for our score sheets to be mailed back to us?
