Used to grow my own back in the day. Strawberry cough (sativa) was my favorite and was always in rotation. I usually had some sort of hybrid as well, just for something different. These days I get medical vape pens and edibles. Still prefer sativas for my vape and edibles for helping me sleep.

Count me in as another where Fat Tire was a staple craft brew. My dad would always come back from Colorado with a trunk filled with cases of the stuff. Only lasted a month or two, but it was always a good month to be at home. Between Fat Tire and Summit, they were my intro into some really...

I got that book as a gift last year and it has some really good recipes. I use it often to see what other breweries do when I'm coming up with my own recipe.

Oh man, do I feel you. I've got a 4 year old, 2 year old, and one due in June. For me, I game on PS5 mostly, but some games on Switch as well. I'm a big FromSoftware guy, so Elden Ring was big for a while along w/ Sekiro before that. I'm really excited for the new Star Wars Jedi Survivor...

5 gallons of a mild 5 gallons of a bock 5 gallons of a DIPA 5 gallons of Pilsner 5 gallons of Vienna Lager 5 gallons of an IPA 603 + 30 = 633

9.5 lbs pale ale malt .75 lbs C60 .5 lbs chocolate malt .75 lbs roasted black barley Mash @152 19g Magnum @60 28g Kent Golding @5 I've fermented w/ US05, S04, and Lutra. All have been great beers. This is one of my favorite porter recipes and is super easy.

I used Lutra for a porter I made recently. It finished in a week and was delicious after about a week of conditioning. There was a bit of a "twang" during that first week, but it mellowed out considerably after just a few days. I basically finished that entire keg to myself, it was sooooo good.

Homebrew battered cod with homemade tartar sauce, potato wedges, and fresh coleslaw.

Just got back to this thread. So here are some other missing details (and here I thought I was asking a good question, shows me...) 1. This is a 5 gallon batch 2. I'm a heathen and this is warm fermented around 68 the entire time. 34/70 doesn't seem to mind and it usually ferments out pretty...

Saaz is 3.3, so I think I might be on the low end.

Recipe: 6 lbs munich 6 lbs Pilsner 2.5 lbs vienna 1 lbs crystal 60 1 oz saaz @ 60 1 oz saaz @ 30 90 min mash at 152F, 90 min boil. Fermented with a jar of repitched 34/70, fermented for two weeks, lagered for 4 weeks. This is my first time brewing the style and the first time I can remember...

If looking for a clean lager without worrying about temp control, definitely check out Mangrove Jack's Cali Lager strain. Pretty sure it's an ale strain, technically, but it produces a far cleaner beer than lutra and doesn't have the esters like 34/70. Lately I've really enjoyed the 34/70 more...

There's nothing really to "handle" and you likely have already made the situation worse. Close up your fermenter, leave it alone for a few days, and then bottle. It may still be drinkable, but it very well could taste like wet cardboard (I know my first 3 or so brews were just awful). Won't...

Big ol plate of chicken wings. Not pictured is the lemon/cheese aioli dippy. All allergen friendly and was a big hit with everyone

Only difference between bud and Busch (or coors and keystone) is the can. Literally just different markets.
