My own 12 Blondes (Centennial Blonde) brew. 12 days then kegged, then carbed and chilled for a few weeks. It has a bit of a bitter aftertaste, and not in a good way.

Squatter's Hop Rising DIPA at Battista's Hole In The Wall in Las Vegas. Mildly hoppy, amber, a little cloudy, with a sharp bite and long finish.

Uh, space is the most important thing. Out of sight is out of mind. I ran across a guy who is building an airplane. When it got cold in the garage, he moved it to the living room. I imagine that changed the dynamic of his relationship quite a bit.

Dogfish Burton Baton IIPA Not bad. Bitter when warm (I'm working on the computer and forgot for an hour or so that I was also supposed to be drinking.) Tastes like a 10% IPA. Nothing objectionable about it. I did notice that the Whole Foods near the house does carry some Six Point cans...

I made a batch of your Centennial Blonde partial extract (with Nottingham pitched dry) recipe on Dec 12, 2012, and christened it "12 Blondes". 5 days in the primary, 5 in the secondary, kegged at 31 psig, chilled until I served it on Dec 24. It was perfect and the party crowd loved it. So I'm...

A Shiner Bock, but I'm at a hockey game, so beggars can't be choosers.

Good luck! Tonight started with an Abita Turbodog that has a bottle I wanted for the wife's chocolate bock. She wanted a beer that tasted like something other than beer, I guess. Now, it's a warm bottle of John's Stout Virgin, my first brew, in a frozen and frosty, heavy pint glass. That...

Yes, it is. Had a bit of it in Chicago last week. When I went back to Guinness, it was like water.

Fireman's 4 Blonde Ale from Blanco Texas. Not bad for something light from a bottle. Says it is, and tastes like, a true ale.

St Bernardus Abt 12 Very good beer. During a staff meeting.

Last night, I mixed a batch using just enough boiling water. This morning the labels slide off easily. The remainder of the gelation was allowed to set up in the container and was its normal gelatinous self. I'm pretty sure the gelatin us a no go for PET bottles.

I put labels on 20 PET bottles last night. I used a foam paint brush to wet the bottle and then applied the dry labels to that coating. They stuck well. But, today, I grabbed one from the fridge to check the label and it immediately fell off. I put another labeled bottle that was on the...
