Bill at the last brew day you had your huge book out... I didn't get a chance to take a look.. care to share what you write up and track ?

sounds all good... and digital refractometer, haven't heard of those.. I tried using manual one and had real difficulty taking a reading... just when you think you're catching up in the equipment investment... are there differences in the manual ones, seems there are quite a few chinese made clones ...

jimmy suggested to me that I didn't boil long enough to get my gravity down to where it needed to be thus it came out thin.. so how does one go about measuring as the boil goes along, i'm guessing the hydrometer is out and would have to get a refractometer...

I'll work on that too...

not sure if the culprit or not... but better heads have suggested..

the safeale 04 I thought was the american ale.. I'll have to try the recipe with the 05 next time...

I said originally 10lbs

but looking at my recipe sheet


11lb 2 row
1.25lb 40l


I'm will try and make it to brew day..

yes the numbers are off 1.050 and 1.012

I made a pale ale last month, the profile should have been slightly hoppy.. recipe called for 10lb base, 1.25lb 40l it was mashed at 153* at over an hour og around 1.5 finished at 1.12 I used 2 packs of safale 04 .. fermented very quickly but the beer tastes very dry.. not much malt character at all...

I haven't had a problem yet.. the bubbler is huge.. any fermenter you can get your arm into is a good one, I just use a sponge to clean it out..

though one of the first hits was this..

There are six Hello Kitty beers, which come in easy-drinking fruit flavors like peach, lemon-lime, passion fruit, and banana. They have about half the alcohol content of mainstream American beers - a Budweiser runs 5 percent alcohol-by-volume, where the Hello Kitty brews range from 2.3 percent to 2...
