I do not think that your trend is noteworthy. You likely do rate flat as you can without an ABV bias (I am guessing that the Rsqu is pretty low for this graph). I would argue that the prevalance of 4% - 6% beer (beer's sweet spot) means that there are going to be more "poor" beers in this ABV range.

I love this post, OP. Great thread! I try to rate to style as much as possible, but I wouldn't doubt that that sometimes does not happen.

This thread is a great resource. I feel ready to tackle my batch sparging head on now! Big thank you to Denny.

Good advice. I am a fan of both US-05 and Nottingham, but I can see how some may not like one or the other. Just depends on what you want in your beer!

You should take some pictures of the hydrometer readings over time and post here for a sanity check.

Very cool setup. Feel free to use this thread to continually post updates from time to time! Watch listed for sure.

What kind of vessel are you fermenting in? Like others have said, could be a gasket leak somewhere.

Forgot to spray my spigot for a batch of ESB a while back. Beer turned out fine, was definitely drinkable, but there was an issue with the head not sticking around. Also, when the head dissipated, it was clumpy and not consistent, if that makes sense. There was for sure something going on from...

That may be what I end up doing. I'd rather do that than to cut off and not use this nice hose fitting. Thanks!

I had thought about this, but I love to disassemble the facuets and get the internals cleaned that way. I think in the short run I will just use some on hand hosing I have and clamp it down onto the faucet end. Thanks all for the input!

I have a hand pump that I'd like to use for cleaning my 2 beer lines on the kegerator. Having an issue with finding the right adapter between the pump and the faucet-side of the faucet shank. I would like to screw directly in and clean the beer line in reverse normal operating direction. Any of...

Thank y’all for the input! Will aim to add a 3rd hop as well then to give it some juicy life. What seems to be the general consensus around here on boil times? Do most stick to the old school 60-minute, even though they aren't necessarily adding early hops?

I asked a while back about Loral hops. Not going to use those, but have some Simcoe on hand and want to pair it with Columbus. Should I add in a 3rd hop or just leave it at these 2? My first NEIPA, by the way. Any hop recommendations or what ratio would you use between Simcoe and Columbus for a...

Thanks for the input, y'all! Just planning my next brew day and I have never done a hazy before, just a bunch of other styles. Been studying up on how to keep it low ox with my system and am going from there.

What do y'all think of a NEIPA using Columbus and Loral hops? Would this combo be attractive? Maybe a 2 to 1 ratio of Columbus:Loral. Or, is there a 3rd hop that I could use in there that would be nice? Plan to use all 2 or 3 hops simultaneously throughout the process, and not just one at one...

Thanks for the input. Went ahead and moved it a day before intended to warmer temps inside. FWIW when I opened the fridge, it felt warmer inside than the ambient air temp outside at the time (which was expected, but still nice to actually confirm!). I just didn't trust it to remain that way...

Bumping this thread. I have a temperature controller reading 64 on the outside of a 5 gallon plastic bucket. Fermenting a beer with OG of 1.051 using Wyeast 1968 London ESB. Figured I was still getting about 66 on the inside, but wanted to see if anyone else thought differently or had input...

Currently don't use an electric system or BIAB, but if I ever transition to it (I hope to), Clawhammer is where I am going.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. The idea of being able to see your homebrew fermentation time log like this is neat.
