ABOUT ME

Occupation: Biological Science Technician (microbiology)
Home Brewing Biography: Got a plastic bucket system while in college on 21st or 22nd birthday. Brewed extract periodically for the past 13 years. Brewed red ale and a Witbier extract kit in 2011. 1st time doing steeping durning those two. Those two ales were (from what I remember) by 5th and 6th batch of beer.rnFormulated an American Stout recipe obtained brom BYO magazine. Took it LHBS, some modifications with yeast, hops, when to add LME and loved the result. The bug continues....other ideas on this base recipe for the stout.rnWent and watched, asked questions and helped out 3 guys locally; brewed 40 gallons of beer (AG) in about 8 hours. The brewing bug got bigger. One of the guys got a new set-up and gave me all his other stuff. A little cleaning but seems fine to me.

I'm pretty sure brew buddy is a reach. The guy lives 20 minutes from town, but north of town. I
live 20 minutes from town, but NORTH and WEST of town. So it's about 40 minutes from each
other. So..Oh ...

Yeah. Let's hope. Though, as in most things. Learned lesson first time. Definitely, next time.
I'm NOT taking my stuff to somebody else's place. Don't care how close they are. Come to my
place. You ta...

Alright. Got my stuff back. Jeebus. I feel complete again. I had a robust porter working on
it's 3rd week in primary. I'm kind of wanting it bottled so can get conditioned. Anyway, now I
can bottle to...

unionerdr, you're right. Also, it is up to him. I was hesitant at first. We did it. And
now....The guy probably did realize something. May not be for him like he thought. Though, I've
lost track now. ...

Well, finally should be getting my fermenting bucket and bottling bucket and bottle brush and

band prac...

I don't know. I took it easy on him that day. I basically brewed his beer and let him pitch the
yeast. It was like 5 p.m. when pitched and he had been on the phone for 20 or 25 minutes. I was
thinking...

I have the Yeast book. but I just went here. Saw someone using 35 g DME and 2.5 g agar and 400
mL water. It made 10 plates for me. No problems. Swirling, heating, autoclaving. I did it at
work while m...

Oh yeah tiltie. It's one of those things you do, but don't think about. In most recipes making
bacterial media. It calls for mixing the water and the ingredients and then adding to a hot
water bath an...

Okay everyone. Update. Ugh...This guy and his family are super nice. Loved hanging out with

going on. We were...
