Yeah. I know I know. I suppose one habanero in 5 gallons wouldn't have been a big deal. I was thinking something almost similar to Stone's 2011 Vertical Epic with their chili Belgian, which I loved. But I threw it out. Maybe next time. I am sorry beer Gods. :)

Well, this one almost became even more interesting. Letting the corn sugar cool off in an ice bath, I accidentally dropped a whole dried habanero in it!!!! Not only that, I didn't notice, so the pepper had started to soften. So I pitched that batch out. Started over, this time I will add...

Yup. Just going by what the recipe says.

Perfect. That's what I was gonna do. :)

So I just brewed the AHS Belgian Strong Ale Extract + Specialty grains today. I missed where I was supposed to add 4.5 oz corn sugar to the beginning of the boil. I still managed to hit my target gravity with just the 8 lbs of DME, but I seem to remember the corn sugar dries it out...

Just got me a new toy yesterday... did a 20 mile night ride last night and I am smitten. :ban:

True story. Was pretending to flash my friend, who was on the phone outside the window. Lifted the shirt and slammed my chest against (and through) the glass. Then fell out the window. :ban: Two worst parts about it were the fact it was 20 degrees that night, so we damn near froze to...

That is pretty awesome. First thing I have seen that makes me want an iPad. lol

I second the AOB (Yuengling.)

No crazy stories like some of these with beer. But the two times I had absinthe (the real stuff) were more than a little interesting. You would be amazed how creative that stuff makes you. I made a McGyver type device out of a wire coat hanger and a hot glue stick to retrieve a piece of...

And she's hot. :D Please don't take that wrong. Been with my wife since 1999 (13 years for the math trads). Been married for 4 years. Happy as can be. She brews. She mountain bikes. She isn't afraid to walk into the woods for a week with everything we need for a week on our backs...

Good question, but subscribed anyways. If I could ferment Dr. Pepper that would be most amazing.

I am on the West coast... not even midnight yet. Gotta report in for work in 6 hours though. That's gonna suck. lol

Cool. Will stick through it then. Ya'll better watch out come July. lol

DING DING DING. For the record... would have accepted firkin, pin, or cask. :rockin: You're up batter.
