My god this thread is painful to look at.... but i cant look away!! It's like staring into the sun....

The one time it pays to live in NY...

I dont know much of anything in this category, however i have read multiple times that as far as taste comes, anything over 80 IBU's is unnecessary, something about that being the threshold you can taste... I'm sure somebody with more knowledge will chime in.

If i'm going for a cheap beer to get drunk on, i would usually go Labatt's.... Probably because its all my dad drinks.

I just double or triple rinse them as I drink them... I then take my bottle washer attachment for my sink and blast them with hot water for a few seconds before sanitizing them on bottling day... I've had no problems yet... I only use oxiclean for removing labels.

Im jealous... I wish I had room for a kegging rig....

She who milks baby ostriches..... You're welcome.

I'm 6'... But I'm sure my 6' tall girlfriend wishes I was taller...

5 blonde, 5 hefe, 5 octoberfest, 5oatmeal stout, 5 dunkleweizen, and 5 irish red = 3870

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure steeping grains are more for flavor and color than anything. You probably don't have to worry about your "efficiency", and leaving behind sugars. Now if you were actually mashing, that is where you need to be worried about that kind of thing... I personally...

I don't think that looks all that odd... IMO.

No guys, come on... Be serious. He OBVIOUSLY means fetus vaginate...

That is what most people do... i personally just let it sit 3-4 weeks and then take a reading . Its never not been done at that point for me... With that being said, i haven't brewed any big beers yet.

Good luck Revvy

I've never had mead.... But I am really wanting to give it a try one of these days...
