    They're a pain in the ass? Really? I find the one I have easy as hell to use. Listen to what the OP wants: a way to measure gravity without wasting 5% of the beer in his fermenter. A refractometer is perfect for that, if you learn how to use it.

    I'll figure things out.

    I think I'd want to look into a 2.5gal system before a refractometer. I just want to make more beer. :grinning:

    On the original topic, I had the exact same thing happen with the exact same beer kit. The temperature variation was only +5 degrees, and none of my other batches did anything abnormal. To the OP: Did the batch come out okay?

    Everything turned out okay! The brew is massively bitter and needs to be drunk really cold for peak enjoyment, but it smells like beer and tastes like beer. I give mine a 6.5/10, so there's plenty of room for improvement.
