Really, jackass? Blow it out your you-hole.

Vienna/Hallertau SMASH +5 Red Roasted Ale +7 Cluster-Willamette Strong Bitter +7 Simcoe-Columbus IPA: Simcoe dry hopped +6 Columbus dry hopped +6 Cumulative sub-total: +31 gallons New total: 7192+31=7223 I didn't include the apple wine - I'll leave that decision to the officials.

Yeah, I know - it's called auto-cad. I'd still like to think my carpenter could build a birdhouse without it.

The Venn Stenchogram. Now we know it really is true - everyone should go to college.

I just noticed your handle there, OldStyler. I grew up on Heilleman, repackaged as 9:05. Big green trash can full of little brown bottles. Throw in your occasional pint of MD 20-20, you've got childhood in South St.Louis in the 70s. Gotta go...tearing up...

What was your recipe?

I notice the old "What is the WORST beer you have ever had?" thread is near the top right now. Just saying.

Alright, I guess I'll be the next to start a never ending argument thread. If I win the lottery and I'm looking for a contractor to build my dream house, and the contractor mentions that he's working up the plans on a new program called HouseSmith, I'm going to snatch the homebrew from his...

That's not hopped with Sorachi Ace exclusively is it? If so, I hope you like dill, because when the residual or added yeast in those bottles consume added fermentables, thus charging it with CO2, that's going to be some funky tasting shizznit. Okay, now I've jumped to the last page, and I feel...

You just need a B.A.S.S.S. - a Big Ass Stainless Steel Spoon.

Why bake a cake from scratch?

I'd go with the EKG over the Saaz. I find noble hops don't stand up so well in a strong ale. That subtle spiciness isn't going do much in a beer like that, for my money. I definitely wouldn't bother with the 60 minute Saaz addition - what is that, 6-8 AAU? Probably not detectable. EKG for late...

Less than a week on some keggle accessories.
