I really think it was spot on. If I rebrewed it, I would consider a Kolsh yeast as I have found it be an ale yeast that most think is a lager.

There are some suggestions here https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=116513 I like the idea of toasting your own in the oven.

I use beersmith 2 on my mac. Love it.

in! I like the wire stand instead of the wall mount

It's hard to argue with Amarillo but a big does of cascade in the dry hops of an IPA is still so killer good.

They may be contract brewing at a Sam Adams facility.

In my rough estimation of E3 for a 5G batch of this would look like: 11 g Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate) 18 lbs 4 oz Great Western Pilsner 1 lbs 10.7 oz Thomas Fawcett C45L 6 oz White Wheat Malt 1 lbs 3 oz Corn Sugar...

Love that HBT does these giveaways!

How tall are you? Or better yet, what is the average heigth of the people pouring the beer? I would think a person of 6' or taller would not have a problem with a 46" bar. Someone under 5'8" probably would.

Fruity aromas and flavor are often signs of yeast strain. You might be under pitching. But I'm going to guess that it is temp. If fermented too warm there are all sorts of off aromas from fruit (apricot in your case) to solvent. So, temperature would be my guess.

"Here's the deal." or "What you have to understand is ..." Both are ways of talking down to someone and I hate it. "To be honest with you." To me this implies that one was not being honest with me before this. Hate it.

I had heard that spent grains were not good for horses. Cows and chickens are ok but I was told horses don't digest them very well and can get bound up in their digestive track.

I loooove Crystal hops in a pilsner!
