I was planning on an Oatmeal Stout for the mid fall, and a Winterfest for the......winter.

Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh :rolleyes: Why didnt I think of that?

nope, that was it.

I think I have one of two puzzling, recurring acronyms figured out RDWHAHB- Relax, Dont Worry, Have A Home Brew but what is - SWMBO :confused:

Looks like I am not the only one who's making this today. I am pretty excited! I saw the recipe, and when I was shopping, picked up some Montrachet yeast, ans said "why not?" Just so I dont have to browse 100+ pages, it does prime in a normal beer bottle right?

I think I read somewhere that band-aidy medicinal tastes are the result of wild yeast mixing with your wort. Could it be that the tubing/spigot were not sinitized well enough? Also, it could be from too much chlorine in your water. Its what I read anyway. I wouldnt know firsthand.

what I mean is, my dogs will clean the floor for me. If I make a 2/3 batch, wont the yeast, i dunno, "overpower" the wort, or something?

I have hungry dogs with cast iron stomachs Is it that serious though?

I brought home an Austin Homebrew Supply Bavarian Hefe kit. Bag rips as I walk in door liquid malt bucket falls out and breaks on floor, spilling 1/3 of its guts on the tile I manage to save the rest. Is there anything short of going back to the store/ordering more that I can do to salvage...

Hmm.......I see your remarks. I too do not notice the citrus. In fact, after beer #3, it keeps getting better. I dont put stock in other folks opinions, but I like to know what others say about it. It did not get very good reviews on beeradvocate either

Is anyone going to San Antonio Cerveza Fest this year? I will be in town on the 11th, and want to go. But ive never been to a pub crawl or beer fest, I am curious how the whole thing works?

You didnt find it kind of Budweiser-y? I'm still planning on sending in my containers for that pint glass though. Its not bad. good clean finish. Ratebeer.com raped it. Maybe you could share you beer-ish critiques, so I could now what I am tasting?

Anybody had it? Its a Kolsch style ale from a Houston MB. Their Elissa IPA was pretty good, so I tried it. Gotta say, its very BMC, with a floral finish. I wouldnt buy it again. I'll make up for it with an Arrogant Bastard. On another note, the Army Class 6 will order cases of...

thats the one! Ive been itching to try it again, and see if my initial impression was correct. I wasnt a home brewer when I tried it, and am more educated now.

I'm curious. When I was in London, there was an ale, served just about everywhere, with a red label, and some sort of golden lion on the label, and its tasted like margerine. What was it?
