Sounds good, wish I could check it out. I sometimes travel to the Netherlands for work, but won't be there for Dutch Beer Week. It does look like I'll be there around the time of the Borefts beer...

If you're in Bend, I'd highly recommend Crux. Boneyard and Deschutes are great stops as well.
In Portland...close your eyes and throw a rock :) But I'd second the suggestion of Hair of the Dog - a...

If you didn't replace all the o-rings when you got it, do it (don't even bother inspecting them). They'll hold onto nasty soda smells/tastes and other funk that's impossible to get out. A full set of...

I have the Bayou SQ14 and it's been great - zero complaints. I guess it could be quieter, but it heats wort fast and is a third of the price of a Blichmann.

Just swap it out for 3/16" hose and I'm guessing it will be about right. You can fit 3/16" hose on a 1/4" tailpiece without a problem (just warm it up with a bit of hot water first).

FWIW, I use...

Just something that caught my eye - are you using a hose for your brewing water as well, or just for cleaning?

If I'm making a big starter and don't want to add the whole 2L+ volume to the beer, I'll do the starter a few days early and then cold crash it. On the morning of brew day, I'll pull it out of the...

I have a 48qt Ice Cube, and it DID come with a drain - but my brother has the same one, and his didn't. As mentioned already, it has a thin/flat spot where the drain should go, so it's very simple to...

Interesting - sounds like there may be something to this after all. I can't find the original source at "Alcohol Beverage Testing News", but this was posted at Beervana:

Not sure if I understand you correctly, but it sounds like you're tasting the wort and not the finished product. You have to be careful with judging bitterness from a wort sample - it will typically...

Yeah, I'm guessing water - if the same flavor is showing up in 3 beers, you have to start looking for common factors. Are you using tap water, and do you have a water report for your local water...

Are you using a hydrometer or refractometer to take your readings? If the latter, are you doing the required correction?

Are you making yeast starters?

Agree with Yooper - it depends what you're going for, but if this was my recipe I'd do the following:
- Change 1# C120 to 12oz C40, 4oz C120
- Drop the brown sugar
- Drop the carapils
- Add ~2oz...

Give it a taste and report back. If it's infected and you want to keep it as a sour experiment, I wouldn't bottle it yet - throw that carboy in a dark corner and forget about it for 6-12 months....

I'll second everything above - feel free to use more Munich and/or replace some of the 2-row with Vienna. 2oz of roasted barley will give you a great red color without really adding any roasty...

Just to clarify: Henry Weinhard's is not one of the new "fake craft" brands. It was brewed in downtown Portland for decades until they sold out; sounds like now that they're owned by Miller, Henry's...
