• Posted in thread: Is there such a thing as too long a diacetyl rest? on 04-30-2011 at 04:37 AM
  Have you bottled/kegged this yet? How did it come out?Yup bottled it. It tastes good, no off
  flavors. It's taking an extremely long time to carb. I don't know if I'll get proper
  carbonation on it. I j...

• Posted in thread: Bicycle bottle opener on 04-09-2011 at 07:18 PM
  I think they're selling those things for $20-30 a piece. Ridiculous for a seat clamp and not
  worth the silly novelty. Never mind that you have to open your beer on its side.A commenter on
  a another fo...

• Posted in thread: Giving homebrew to a bar? on 04-09-2011 at 04:42 AM
  So, I currently brew 15 gallon batches and am wondering if anyone has 'gifted' beer to a
  bar/pub for their distribution?I know it would be illegal to sell the beer to a bar, but does
  anyone know the l...

• Posted in thread: Is homebrewing that creative? on 04-08-2011 at 04:52 PM
  So the problem I have is it seems like making beer isn't that creative. It's kind of like going
  to the store and buying a model car. When you put it together, either you made it right and it
  looks lik...

• Posted in thread: Any money in balanced beers? on 04-07-2011 at 02:20 PM
  Well, I don't get out much anymore - work, family, etc. So when I do get a night out, I want to
  try something new, something I've never heard of. But when we have a party or family get
  together, I usu...

• Posted in thread: Favorite Regional Soda / Pop / Soda Pop on 04-07-2011 at 03:16 AM
  Detroit/Michigan used to have Towne Club which was phenomenal. Faygo is still great - Red Pop
  owns. And Vernors is a classic. I took it for granted until I moved out of state for a few
  years and it wa...

• Posted in thread: Is this set of equipment going to work? on 04-07-2011 at 03:06 AM
  One of my primaries has a spigot. I close the spigot and turn the valve sideways. Have never
  had an issue. Just make sure you clean it out really well afterward. Trub likes to hide out in
  there.

• Posted in thread: Help with smoked malts! on 04-06-2011 at 05:38 AM
  Does your apartment have a balcony or patio? Do you have a grill? I just cold smoked some wheat
  and it came out pretty good (good as far as I can tell, it's sitting in primary right now). The
  question...

• Posted in thread: My friend made a video of my brewing. It looks sweet. on 04-06-2011 at 01:58 AM
  Hi, I'm salamastre's videographer friend (thanks for all the compliments, guys! I'm glad you
  liked it!).I used a Nikon D90 with a 17-55mm zoom lens. It was set to 2.8f for most of the
  shots. We didn't...
