  So I finally tried this beer after letting it bottle condition for a few weeks, and I have to
  say that I was pretty pleased with it. My tasting notes are as follows:A: Pours a clear, straw
  yellow with...

  I love using this yeast. I've got some in a starter right now. It looks like you had some good
  proliferation, and I agree with the airlock comments above. That starter is ready for action.

  Thanks for the advice everyone. I don't know where I messed my numbers up on BeerSmith
  originally, but I'm glad everyone pointed that out. I think a hop burst sounds just about the
  right speed. Thanks...

  With just the hops put in BeerSmith I get a similar number, but with the other items it drops
  down to the 40's. Regardless, I don't know why I plugged the recipe in twice to Beersmith and
  it spit out ...

  I'm looking to make this a relatively low bitterness, high flavor pale ale. The trouble is I'm

  Just another update on this brew. I just bottled this yesterday, and I am really excited for it
  to finish carbonating. There was a lot of trub when I racked to the bottling bucket, but I'm
  hoping that...

  So, after a bit of a brewing hiatus I finally got this into the fermenter yesterday. I ended up
  using 8 oz. of honey instead of 4, and went with Diastase enzyme for my conversion since I had
  heard tha...

  Do you seal them in any particular way, or just screw the lids on? Two weeks would probably be
  a reasonable amount to have on hand at any given time. Do you keep them refrigerated the entire
  time, or ...

• Posted in thread: Darned white-ring in the bottle on 09-15-2012 at 02:57 AM
  I know what you mean. I accidentally over primed a batch a couple years ago, and they didn't go
  off until I started up the oven one day. As they were stored in a nearby cabinet the residual
  heat must ...

  I know there a lot of threads about when and how much coffee to add to a recipe when brewing,
  but what about just coffee by itself? My wife and I both like to cold brew our coffee, and it
  would be muc...
