Wow! I've heard some criticisms of my graff, but heat has never been one of them, even when it was young. Do you mean it actually tastes hot (alcoholic), or do you mean they drank some and it had...

I changed a number of things (new MLT, brewed inside instead of out, different thermometer), so I do not feel like I can accurately guess my efficiency.

White Labs charges $138 to test the ABV,...

I have to question this. My beer is pretty clear, and I don't filter. I find that a combination of cold crashing and force carbing gives a pretty clear product.

I can also think of at least some...

Measureing ABV without OG

I made 9.5 gallons (supposed to be 11, but I messed up) of centennial blonde ale on Sunday. Due to numerous problems (http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/psa-check-everything-403393/), I was pretty...

PSA: Check Everything!

I was doing some all-grain brewing in my kitchen today. Here are two problems I ran into. I thought posting them here might help out others.

1. When you are heating up your sparge water, make...

I've made two Vienna Lagers, so clearly I'm a world-class expert on this topic. I'll comment on a few parts of your recipe.

The first one was a mix of Vienna and Munich, the second was 100%...

Don't be discouraged. Just use decent quality apple juice, and it should be drinkable relatively quickly. My first batch was bottled 13 days after I made it, and I cracked the first bottle 2-3...

If anyone lives downtown, and doesn't have a big place, Home Sweet Homebrew has a decent deal. I think they call it "virtual sacks". Basically, you buy a sack, but only take home whatever you need....

You are correct that a chemical compound is a chemical compound. The issue is that you can't buy 100% pure CO2 (or most anything else), there are always impurities. The question is what level of...

Awesome, thanks for the tip. I hadn't found a place yet. I'm still on my first tank, but I'll need to fill it eventually. That's not too far out of my way.

Your math on the 75% point looks correct to me. I always do SG - 0.75*(SG-FG) = time for the diacetyl rest.

As for lowering the temp, I wouldn't worry about it, just throw it in the fridge. I do...

I know a lot of people that have gotten sick after drinking homebrew. I think their beers were "infected" with alcohol. :tank:

You probably need to let this sit longer if it's not even carbed yet.

That makes sense, I just figured I wouldn't have any, since I force carbed instead of adding sugar.

If I don't mind the texture / flavor / whatever, is there any reason not to just drink the...

Floaters in my Keg

It's not a brewpub, but if you make it to Triumph, check out Eulogy, which is right across the street. They have a pretty comprehensive beer list.

It was originally outside the fridge (~800), then I put it in the fridge before noticing it was at ~600. I bet that's why it dropped.

Thanks.

Maybe they've gotten better, but I went to Lucky's soon after they opened and was NOT impressed. The prices were on the high end of normal, and the beer was served in dirty, undersized glasses.
