  So it has been awhile since I visited but I was unemployed, going broke, and just not brewing.
  I recently took a job in Houston and moved last week. I temporarily left my beautiful home,
  wife, garden,...

• Posted in thread: Bottle necks breaking!?!? on 04-08-2013 at 12:37 AM
  I utilize a variety of bottles and handle them all the same regarding cleaning, storing and
  sanitizing. Last night when cracking open a few to taste our latest batch of Imperial IPA, I
  literally broke...

  Gotta love when it goes smoothly.I generally tell myself "it's not brew day unless something
  goes wrong" because something usually does. Usually something small. Which makes me quite
  pleased when a br...

  WEll today was awesome. I brewed today, two days later than originally planned and four days

  According to the bottle I read yesterday, Shiner uses both Mt Hood and Citra. I didn't try it

  grapefruit fl...

  Just print out one of these: tool. I have all of that information stored digitally so my
  notebook is what "actually" happens on my brew days. When my notebook runs out of pages I will
  use the PDF in...

  I'm a big believer in seeing it through as a learning experience, as long as its not an
  obviously infected batch.I've learnt more from my unplanned changes (mistakes) than the batches
  that go to plan....

  I've done plenty of extract batches an had no problems fermenting as high as 72 and I never
  noticed any issues with the beer. I don't look to do that but it is what is. The problem seems
  to be note ta...
