Recently made a pale ale with 8.5 lbs Pale 2.5 lbs victory, and .75 lbs 10l chrystal malt. I was supposed to have three hop additions at 60, 30, and flameout, total of 2 oz cascade. Problem is, this was my second batch of the day and ran out of propane fifteen minutes early, so I added the...

Man o Man. My wife is really starting to not like my new habit, Brewing Beer! Every other saturday is my brew day, which takes place in the kitchen. I end up drinking about ten beers previously brewed, and stink up the house. I'm still trying to figure out if she is more pissed about the...
