I thought that the character of Arya is being brought along very well. She has always had that killer instinct or at least of a fighter. Even way back when she used to show up Bran in the Winterfell yard. I think that the relationship between her and the hound is entertaining as well. I was...

I think I am in, but please count me in this one just to be sure. Too much good stuff to not be in the runnung...

Oh my gosh, I really would like to win something. Please count me in on this great drawing!!!

King, This is a very interesting experiment. I am waiting and watching for your results. I certainly wish you good luck in this. I have been wanting to try this for a fall brew. I hope you have better luck than some of the other posts in here. Kurt

Hello Beer Guru's So I have read several posts about the potential trouble adding air/oxygen to beer in the fermenter can cause. So, if I have this right, the wort needs to be oxygenated when going into the fermenter so the yeasties have O2 to consume to multiply. Then when the...

I have found that using the same technique as dlaramie08 spoke of does work well for me. I use my kitchen sink as the source for my cold water in my chiller. I just run a minute or so of the hottest water I can get through the chiller prior to adding it to the wort. I do get a small slow...

I knew I would get a quick and accurate response here. My oh my did I get the responses. I am sorry now for even asking. I did not know it was against the rules to ask about acronyms. I will try to use my imagination in a better fashion in the future... Thank you all for the enlightening...

:off: All right, I know I am going to sound stupid here, but here goes nuttin’. I read these threads here on Home-Brew Talk regularly, and I have been able to decipher almost all of the acronyms I have seen used in the posts. However, this one, "swimbo" or a close approximation has...

I want to thank every one of the "Guru's" who added to this thread. That is exactly why I love HBT vs. the other brew sites. Everyone is always so willing to assist the new brewers without sounding arrogant. I do sincerely thank everyone for your input. For the record, I will not be racking...

Oh my gosh, I am so sory to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you and your family. Kurt

Alright beer Guru's, I am in need of advice here. Here is a question I have been tossing around in my head for a week or so. Last week I brewed up a Belgian Wheat. Actually, a “Blue Moon” clone hopefully. I have only brewed beer 5 times before, so I used a kit. The kit had dry...

I am an idiot and did not study so much in plant biology, how can you tell if it is female/male? Lift their little buds?

This looks good. I certainally remember that when I was in college I taste tested many a beer in my day. Now I can learn a little about what I love so much.

OK, 33,335 gallons and I am adding 5 gallons of Blue Moon clone and 6 gallons of Blackberry Sundae. 33,335 + 11 33,346 Gallons

My, my, you are all such brave beer gods....... I am not sure I could even pull off such an endeavor. But I am really thinking heavily about trying. It seems as I read through this thread, that aside from the use of extracts or fluff, the base has to still be a quality well tested cream...
