Might be something there as I only carbonate my stout to 1.2 volumes before eventually putting it on 70/30 beer gas... Cheers!

fwiw, I've been brewing ten gallon batches of a 1.107 OG imperial chocolate stout using S04 for many years using RO water with a TDS of 10 or less - so hardly any RA at all to start. That same RO water requires between 20 and 25 ml of 25% PA in the strike liquor for all of my other 10 gallon...

Scrubbed. Don't know why yet but apparently the "Ground Launch Sequencer" detected a fault somewhere and automatically halted the show. I'm presuming that's a ULA issue but might be wrong...

Hold invoked at T-3:50. Not looking good for launch today. Systems have been recycled back to T-4:00 where they're holding now while they try to figure out what went wrong...

I run a six-pack of SwissFlow SF800 meters. Folks have used various Hall Effect meters as well like the inexpensive yf-s201. Very important to find a meter with the ability to measure at very low flow rates like down in the 1 LPM range... Cheers!

Totally random short that reminded me of "The Bickersons" comic strip...

Just for the record, when you are hitting your pre-boil volume, are you also hitting your expected pre-boil gravity? Or - skipping ahead - is your volume to the fermentor and its "Original Gravity" per recipe? Cheers!

You're probably right about the ticks. Not having an actual "winter" this year I think we've been set up for blood letting :oops:

Going by this NOAA page I think it's going to be a long shot unless one lives up in Canada...

lol! 😁 Is that Wedgewood? Looks like it, and whenever The Spousal Unit and I have walked up there from our house we almost always startle a deer or two... Cheers!

fwiw, I've been dissolving one teaspoon of ascorbic acid in 30ml of warm water and injecting it into each purged keg and believe it really does extend the shelf life of my neipas. In this post-Covid stay-home world where I'm not getting as much help kicking kegs I've had them go 6 months and...

Did the deer help you find your ball? 😁

Cool! Love the retro display and matching trim 👌

Well, you knew it was coming :) but the symptoms - aside from the lack of color change which is actually one of the last stages of hoppy beer death - sure sounds like oxidation taking its toll. And oxidation seeks out hoppy beers with a vengeance, so... That said, the only process step I'm...

I've only ever had Peroni when in Italy, and I found it refreshingly dry and effervescent - but otherwise nearly devoid of character. But, we never went to Italy for the beer, so it was ok :) Cheers!

^definitely^ needs an "analog" transfer control input which can take many forms: 0-5 VDC, 0-12 VDC, 4-20ma (<- that one takes me back about five decades :oops: ). Not a pulse width control thing...

Thoughts and prayers ;)

Heads up tonight - if you'll have clear skies and live in the north - as there's a chance the auroras will be visible. https://www.newsweek.com/northern-lights-aurora-over-new-york-idaho-geomagnetic-storm-1906776
