  My first fermentation explosion.Sixth brew now, a German wheat beer kit from Brewer's Best.
  Went with 6 gallons instead of the 5.5 I usually put in the 6.5 gallon brew bucket. Added an
  extra pound of ...

  Ugh. How many engineers can dance on the head of a pin? Who cares, as long as all those
  engineers can obsess about who has what credentials. :oI'm just gonna keep brewing. Who cares
  about all that oth...

  Oh God, nearly 40 percent engineers. No wonder there's so little sense of humor here. You know
  I meant that in the nicest possible way. :D :D :D

• Posted in thread: Perfect Pour on 12-03-2012 at 06:32 PM
  I've never gotten that deeply into what makes a perfect pour. Who knows how many
  cans/bottles/kegs of beer I've poured into glasses over the years? And protecting a beer from
  oxygen? No beer I pour in...

• Posted in thread: "So and so" is a beer connoisseur on 12-03-2012 at 04:11 PM
  A "connoisseur" has expertise and passion. An "aficionado" better describes most so-called

• Posted in thread: It's about that time of beer! on 12-02-2012 at 03:14 PM
  Well, we were thrifty (that means stupid) and garage saled 2 propane burner deep-fryer turkey
  setups this summer, before I decided to get into brewing. Now brewing on the burner of our
  propane grill i...

  Who needs a clock when you've got that friendly, periodic bubbling?Almost true. Fella needs to
  keep tabs on when the Packers kick off, and that requires a clock. :DI did make a change this
  time. Our w...

• Posted in thread: What percentage of your beer is homebrew? on 12-02-2012 at 03:03 PM
  Just brewed my third 5-gallon batch. First batch is bottled and being consumed. Next batch
  won't be ready for a couple more weeks. At this point, I'd say about 10 percent of the beer I
  drink is home b...

  Third brew yesterday afternoon. First one that used unhopped LME, so required the full boil
  with finishing hops. Fun time brewing in the garage with the heater going. Looks like an
  all-grain recipe fo...
