I wanted to name my kid "Boliver". Call him "Balls" for short. Seriously though, the ball-n-chain and I figured out every possible permutation of each prospective name with respect to playground skullduggery. Like Bill to Billdo. Of course Peter and Harry were automatically out. ;)

Cease and desist, hell. AB has their own paramilitary commando force. I picture a turn of the ingition and a bright flash followed by darkness in you future. At minimum you may wake up in bed next to a severed clydesdale head :D

Chode (nice handle BTW :D), the old krausen had definitely fallen and had been for some time. I primary in a glass carboy. I can see Co2 coming out of solution after movement but, 4 days and steady?

I have and Irish stout that actively fermented for 1 week at 65 deg, 2 in Krausen. The Krausen had fallen and no "visible" activity for two additional weeks. I took it down from the top of my closet to check gravity in anticipation of bottling. It seems the swirling action caused by the...

Tack on another five for an Irish Stout 3359

Its a True Brew Kit, It has all kinds of instructions, sadly no mention of a hop schedule. I went ahead and did 1oz at 30 and 1 oz at 10. Well see how it goes.

I am brewing an Iriish Stout, the LME is pre-hopped but I have two oz. UK First Gold AA 7.3%. What is the best shedule for these, 1 oz 15 min and 1 oz flameout? Thanks for your help!!

bell0347, This is way off topic, but I was there with the dudes that took you avatar picture...lol. That thing went viral. It was a group of USAF Pararescue trainees in the Paramedic portion of their training in 2007 (My friend and I were instructors...was my friends camera that was used)...

Gotcha. This was a no boil extract so presumably I couldn't have monkeyed with the hops or extract in those ways. From now on I will go with full boils with late DME/LME...Thanks.

Thanks, COLObrewer I will keep an eye on this one for a while. I guess my overall question is, is there an established significant degredation of quality with pre-hopped extracts vs other methods. Obviously, if you boil your own hops there will be an improvement but is there a known wide gap...

This is my 2nd batch ever and was brewed to perfection, well it went better than my first batch which turned out decent. I even used LME instead of dextrose...Pitched on the low side and fermented around 68 F. I can't recall the OG right now but it fermented for 3 weeks down to 1.020. No...

Heh...I did that for my second brew except I used LME...It's got another 10 days in the primary. I was wondering if the pre-hopped extracts lose alot along the way. Either way, I love IPA's and can tolerate Shiner.

Hillbilly? Shoot mang, that puts my nomad arse to shame!

How about the poor design of the connection between the racking cane and the tubing, you know, the hard plastic shallow orange connector... Really?? Would've it killed them to make it just a tad deeper or softer to make it air tight? :confused: Fortunately, black electrical tape makes a...
