Someone already beat you to it. It's called a dishwasher.

The term was created by an evolutionary biologist in the mid 70s. Being young and cool has nothing to do with it.

I usually stick to social drinking. If I have a quiet week without going out or doing anything special, I'll drink maybe 2-3 beers. I'm mainly trying to avoid empty calories, since I tend to like big beers.

Well done. The only thing I'll say is that meme rhymes with team.

Awesome, that's the sort of info I was looking for but couldn't find. In that case I'll probably do something like the following: -3lbs light dme, 2lbs pils lme, 3 lbs wheat dme with 4oz of aged hops -pitch US-05, ferment for ~2 weeks -rack to secondary on french oak chips, pitch either wyeast...

That makes sense. How does waiting for the yeast to die off and letting the bugs eat the fruit sugars impact the final flavor?

Is this just for grain, or can I get a bag of extra light DME? I do partial mash for space reasons, so I use a lot of DME.

I've been doing some research, but I'm stuck on one thing: should I add the fruit (raspberry puree) when I rack to secondary and pitch a wyeast lambic yeast, or should I rack to secondary and add the fruit after a couple of months. I have seen people do both, but I haven't seen any argument...

Iif the bee fell in during the boil, then whatever it brought with it was probably killed off.

That's the place. I was spoiled going there as my first lhbs. Now I expect them all to be as good.

ESB. I love me a good ESB.

My mom bought me a basic kit for my birthday. Aside from ingredients, the only equipment I have bought has been a bayou burner, a larger kettle, some bottles, a second fermentation bucket with an airlock, a wort chiller and two hoses, a small growler for starters/yeast washing, and other...

I turn my burner down low enough so that my wort is barely boiling. My thinking is that 212 degrees is 212 degrees, and all I'm doing with a vigorous boil is wasting more propane and generating more boil-off. Am I correct in my thinking?

I'm a fan of Lagunitas
