Gosh I feel like no matter how good of notes I'm taking there's always something I need to take a closer look at. Thanks!

It really does I just got transferring my Citra ipa to secondary to dry hop. Gonna do another ipa next weekend. Now I'm watching trolls with the tiny human (for the 45th time).

Also, what style of beer was it

What did the hops look like? Mine usually end up as green mud at the bottom of the boil kettle

I use a homemade burner that is for like a jet engine than a propane burner so my boils are flippin outrageous. A buddy of mine just uses his stove and doesn't have a very vigorous boil. I usually start with 6.5 gallons and am to the point where I rarely have to add any water afterwards. Were...

Trust me guys if you saw these jorts you'd think differently, I'll have the wife take a pic when I brew next

I made a milk stout a few years back and I'm still not sure what exactly happened. I left in primary for about a month the. Racked to secondary for about 2 months. It tasted great but still young so I boxed it up and stored it in the basement. Every few days we'd hear the sound of something...

Funny story: buddy of mine was fermentating stout in a bucket and while he was at the local watering hole the airlock plugged, and eventually blew resulting in a geyser of liquid black gold that reached the ceiling. His girlfriend was home at the time and called to have a rational conversation...

I made a raspberry Belgian a few years back. 1/2 pound of frozen berries for each gallon. I pasteurized them in a few cups of water, cooled and then added to secondary before racking. Ended with a slight raspberry taste and quite a bit of aroma although the final product was hazy.

I saw the grapefruit shandy as well today and wondered the same thing.

After a 2 year hiatus (had a kid) I ordered ingredients for an all Citra IPA and brewed it with a buddy of mine yesterday. Wearing my old cutoff Jean shorts, listening to steely dan and drinking his homebrew (I ran out long ago) I remembered all the smells and sights that I had completely...

But really, Robert The Bruce could've been king through Wallace if his leper father and those sons uh bitches nobles wouldn't of fu##ed things up Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Okay boys here we go... Been on here a year now <insert aspiring homebrewer's story> and feeling emotional as Braveheart is about to be taken off streaming Netflix. Got a little into my own stuff and then cracked a Great Lakes Christmas Ale and it smells and tastes bad. I'm just curious to...

Hanging out by my now father-in-laws pool. I went to grab another corona out of the fridge but the universe guided my hand toward a Sierra Nevada pale ale. There was no turning back. That is still my favorite beer and one of my favorite memories. Now I'm here... reading dudes talk about beer...

Just found out the Mrs. is planning a fall trip to Chicago with another couple- where can I try your beers?
