    It's a sad, sad day

    Typically I dont start til mash in. Only ever had a problem once and that time I was drinking before I even started heating strike water. Not my best performance

    The beer that got you into beer

    Mine was an oddball. Friend of mine got ahold of some Fraoch Heather Ale. No idea where he got it but I loved it right off and it turned into my basement and spare bedroom being filled with beer stuff.

    Help with HBT abbreviations!

    Only problem I can see is Ive seen AE used to refer to amylase enzyme.

    What are you drinking now?

    Lord Chesterfield. Its nice to have (what I consider) a decent ale thats relatively easy to find (here) and comes in a can. Good golfin brew!

    Favorite place to buy a kettle on a budget?

    I got a 10 gal aluminum pot on amazon for $36. The best deal I could find and worth every penny. Edit: it was $36.98. Search "Winware aluminum 40 qt pot"

    Too Soon to Move to All Grain?

    Just go for it. BIAB if that fits your fancy or cooler/mash tun if you like DIY type stuff. All the equipment can be found reasonable if you search around and its really not difficult. I only did two partial mashes before going all grain, and my end product improved immediately! Go forth and brew.

    Re-using Kolsch yeast in hefe

    Its been 3 weeks in basement ill probly bottle it whenever I get a chance. Considered moving it upstairs for a few days (warmer) just to give the yeasties a chance to clean up, but judging by the taste I dont think its really necessary.

    German hefe aging

    FWIW - I had a few Franziskaner Dunkelweiss' that I forgot I had, and at over 3 yrs old there was no missing the esters. Im probly not a great judge but I thought it was still great beer

    Temperature Issues Beyond Reason

    Your post prompted me to do a little research...and im sure glad! Turns out my themocouple probe isnt meant for immersion. My last 2 brews are coming up really thin and im betting this is why. Good post!

    Y not use dry yeast?

    Far more strains available in liquid form. Alot of yeasties give a unique flavor that would otherwise not be available.
