Should I be disappointed? I've heard a couple of newer brewers who sneak a taste out of the fermenter describe the taste as bitter, and I can also personally relate. I think it's a product of the temperature and the lack of carbonation. Cold dulls the sense of taste, and carbonation changes the sense of taste in its own way. I think the final beer often doesn't taste as bitter as the work-in-progress. |

Online retailers for brown nipper bottles (187 mL)? paint often has a tough time adhering to nice shiny glass. |

Potential causes of unreliable pre-boil gravity measurement @hartski, I add water during boil to avoid any contamination issues. For this reason, many technique books talk about adding cold, pre-boiled water post-boil to make up volume. I find that I never end up having this cold, pre-boiled water on hand, so i just add water as I boil. I've marked the inside of my brewpot in 1/2 gal increments, and I use this for volume estimation. |

Potential causes of unreliable pre-boil gravity measurement Good point on the shrinkage. 4% could definitely contribute to the error that I'm seeing. |
