Business Cards

Categories: New Toys, Updates

Even though we’re technically not a business entity yet, we still like to act like one. We had some relatives with professional experience tweak the logo a bit and throw it on an epic layout. It’s not an earth shattering design, but we think it rocks. Totally a mullet of a business card….business in front, party in back.

New Toys: Refractometer

Categories: New Toys

One thing that has stuck with me since childhood is the excitement of getting something shiny and new. I like to think of it as being a child at heart. That being said, as we get closer to opening up we will be accruing some toys to help make our lives a bit easier.

A few weeks ago, Austin Homebrew Supply had a special deal going on for Refractometers. One thing that we always forgot and/or were too lazy to do was take gravity readings all throughout the brewing process to effectively measure efficiency and alcohol content of our beer. That and we hated wasting all that beer using the hydrometer tube. I think the technical usage is place liquid under the “flap” and look through the eye hole at a something bright.

Through the eye hole you can get a brix reading of just about anything in liquid form. Since we haven’t brewed since we got it, I have taken a reading of a blueberry, tap water, diet pepsi, and orange juice. When we actually get to brewing another batch of beer, we found this handy little spreadsheet from MoreBeer which helps track fermentation and alcohol percentages along the way.
