Great looking pub!

Best of luck on your Black Rye IPA! Hopefully it won't suffer from the issue that my Pumpkin Beer did with the off flavors.

Ah, for the update - since the damage had already been done, the beer has a lot of "banana" flavor. I don't care for it at all. I still have 4 bottles left that I just haven't drank yet. It's too hard to throw away beer haha

Are you sure you have the burner set properly? I'm assuming you're using a propane burner? You want to make sure you're only seeing a blue flame. It should boil if you have enough BTUs.

Zeus is big and badass!

I stopped reading and starting laughing so loud that my co-worker stopped by at "turb or turd" hahahahahahaha

Just a quick follow up, I had no problems capping any of the bottles I used from the original post.

I've used pliers before.

Smith & Wesson Extreme Ops - everyday.

boobies and beer

You'll be fine! I spilled my sunglasses in my boiling wort for my pumpkin brew....luckily they didn't melt. My wife was having a fit b/c they weren't cheap and she was for sure they would be melted b/c they made it to the bottom of the pot. Sunglasses and brew turned out just fine.

A local brewery here in Indy, Sun King, have a seasonal that has popcorn in it. I missed out on trying it, but if they have it in 2013 I'm going to give it a shot. If you guys watch Drinking Made Easy, they visited Sun King this season and talked about the popcorn beer.

Awesome!!

Sours are the "in" beer. Apparently there were tons of sours at GABF.

Homercidal hit the nail on the head. Not much to add after that post.
