  I've heard of getting off flavors if you leave your primary at higher temps to ferment, but are
  you all indicating that pitching the yeast at too high of a temp also results in off flavors? I
  thought ...

  I brewed my first Honey Brown and the temps stayed up on me around 73. The beer smells good and
  tastes good when you open it and drink it. But about half way through the beer, you'll start to
  notice a...

  Good head is very important to me. :)TLThe worst head I ever had was still great! :ban: Thx all

  I think the dishwasher is the culprit. I do have JetDry in my dishwasher. I thought that would
  be the easiest way to sanitize a large batch of bottles at once.If I run them through a cycle
  to sanitize...

  (Sounds like a letter to Penthouse!)OK - I've brewed two batches now and neither had much head

  taste is good ...

  Here is an article from the WSJ talking about a Trappist monks making some limited beer.
  Sounded really interested. I searched the forums for Westvleteren and saw a couple hits. Anyone
  ever cloned any...

  Ferminting temps ranged from 68-72 so that jives with what you are saying. I thought ales could
  go from 65-75. I'm drinking some 420 Sweet Water and letting it melow. No worries!

  Tried another for the holiday. It's been bottled for 3 weeks now. Had a much better head on it,
  but it didn't last long. Beer tasted much better, but after I drank the first half, I noticed a
  STRONG r...

  I boiled 1.5 cups of water and added the priming sugar. I then put it in the bottling bucket
  prior to transferring from the secondary (so it self-mixes). On my second batch (since I was
  consciously tr...

  OK, I brewed a Honey Brown from AHS. I left in primary one week and secondary two weeks. I
  bottled it and sampled after two weeks. The results? It was flat and tasted watered down. What
  could be some ...
