  Bottling up my Pilsner, then I'll be doing an all extract Strong Belgian. Tomorrow I'll do the
  partial mash APA. I love it when my sister in law flies into town for the weekend and takes my
  wife out o...

  I just like good beer. I'd rather buy from Northern Lights, 12 string, Bi-Plane, or one of the
  other locals here, but sometimes I'd like a Shock Top. I try to buy it from our local
  independent store, ...

• Posted in thread: First PM not so successful on 12-30-2012 at 10:16 PM
  Two things....First I noticed you said use 3-4 quarts water in the mash for 2 lbs grain. For
  the mash, just following AHS instructions, I used a full two gallons. Could that explain my
  numbers?Second,...

  I've been an extract brewer for 3 years. Austin Home Brew had the Kolsch PM on sale, so I
  decided what the hell and bought it. I'm not going to go through my hop schedule, but here's
  the process for m...

• Posted in thread: What got you into homebrewing? on 09-08-2012 at 09:20 PM
  I got severly injured at work a few years back. Couldn't work for three years. After around one
  year, my wife got me Mr Beer kit for Christmas to give me something to do around the house. It
  was a sim...

  I really like Austin Home Brew. Tons of variety, and just about all their kits have the options
  of dry extact, liquid extract, partial mash, or all grain.

• Posted in thread: *sigh* Divorce advice please? on 01-27-2012 at 10:07 PM
  I got no advice, but I wish you all the luck in the world getting this taken care of. If it
  were me, I'd be looking at a different attorney who at least wants to fight for you.

• Posted in thread: AHS vs MWS vs NB on 01-27-2012 at 03:16 PM
  I've used all three. Midwest doesn't have flat rate shipping, so if you're not careful the
  price can jump on you pretty quick. AHS and NB...not really a big enough difference to tell
  anyone one's bett...

• Posted in thread: How Do You Rack to Avoid Sediment? on 01-16-2012 at 03:31 PM
  I put a wedge under my fermenter on the first day. It helps the trub to mostly settle to one
  side right from the beginning. But I also have an advantage in that I have my fermenter on a
  shelf and siph...

• Posted in thread: Irish Red Ale - Style Questions and Yeast? on 01-14-2012 at 12:56 AM
  I did an Irish Red just a couple weeks ago and used Wyeast 1084. It's still in the fermenter
  though, so I can't really give you a critique.
