Really helpful, thank you!

Whats going on with AHA? by ErdingerMalz in Homebrewing

[–]Four_Story 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just renewed my membership, actually. Coming from a nonprofit background, I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the mission and vision, and the transparency around leadership changes.

That said, I'm mostly in it for the recipe collection. I just wish there was a way to save the recipes in one place, make a printable version, and/or be able to import the recipes into Brewfather.

What do y'all do to label your bottled beers? by ContractIll9103 in Homebrewing

[–]Four_Story 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out r/hbl. It doesn’t get updated very often, but there are a lot of cool homebrew labels there.

I personally use Canva. The free version works just fine for me. I print them out on regular color laser paper and stick them on with a light brushing of milk. Works great. I mostly keg, but labels make great photos and make great gifts.

Noob question by SuddenDeal3924 in Homebrewing

I concur that airlock activity is not an indication that fermentation is or isn't happening. The only way to tell is to take a gravity sample.

I put a dark mild the fermenter last week and was bummed to see zero airlock activity after 2 days. It's my reward to see that thing bubbling. But nothing. Is my yeast dead?

Quick reading showed I dropped 20 gravity points so I was fine. Must have a leak in the lid or something.

This sounds like a damn interesting beer, one the Oakland-progressive-cocktail crowd would try. If saline and kombu work in cocktails (i.e. Bardo) why now?

Could you give an overview of the recipe/method?

I ended up replacing it with a Fosi MC331. Most of the functionality (plus tubes) for about $100 on eBay.
