Euge, thanks for the tip. I'll keep my eye out for the SideKIC.

One thing no one has mentioned. These things are great for Sous Vide cooking, if you are into that kind of stuff. Most homebrewers already have all the equipment to do it.

Yeast and Fermentation / What to brew next
« on: May 16, 2013, 05:11:21 pm »
I just got these and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on some recipes. I think I'd like to do a "no-boil" for the Berliner Blend (ECY06). I'll most likely do a Saisson style with the Farmhouse Brett (ECY03). I am open to any and all suggestions.

I don't think I can fit one in my convertible. Always, my wife would kill me.

I hope someone is working on Malt, just to round out the collection.

My Cascade already has a couple inches of growth. Magnum & Nugget are just starting to sprout.

General Homebrew Discussion / Re: Brew ruined??? Vodka drip in wort....
« on: January 19, 2013, 12:58:57 pm »
A little vodka shouldn't be a problem. I've been using cheap vodka in my air locks for years with out issue. You should not use air lock activity as a sign of fermentation. 2 hours is not nearly enough time to determine if there is fermentation. I'd leave it for a day or two before even worrying.

If I remember correctly, all the default mash profiles are fly sparge, unless it actually says batch sparge.

I did not know that. Everything I have always read says use distilled. Thanks.

Equipment and Software / Re: Is hydrometer calibration linear?
« on: January 17, 2013, 01:43:31 pm »My hydrometer (apparently) lost its calibration somehow. I know I checked it a year or two ago, and it was correct, but I checked it today in 60*F water and got 1.005. Do I just subtract 5 points off any measurement? Why/how would a hydrometer lose its calibration?
You use distilled water, correct?
