    Last meal?

    Lobster, crab, shrimp, things like that. I'm allergic to shellfish, so if I'm gonna die anyway, I might as well enjoy.

    Thar she Blows

    Different types of yeast can cause intense fermentation activity. From what I've read, dry yeasts tend to be quite aggressive. One thing that could help is having a little bit of extra head space in your primary. I almost always start out with a blow off tube until the krausen falls, just to...

    First OverCarbed Keg

    Burping it should be fine. I'm sure someone on here has a much more scientific answer that will give more accurate results, but that's the method I usually use if I overcarb.

    Reppin' Michigan

    Like Yooper said, just gotta brew more. Maybe make your buddies help out with the cleaning and bottling. Hahaha. Welcome to the obsession. Looks like you're not too far from where I grew up. I spent a good part of my life in Hillsdale.

    Suggestions for two lagers with similar profiles.

    Pilsner would fit pretty well. You could definitely try a kolsch, as well. Cream of Three Crops seems to be popular, and could probably do well with some lagering. You could also try a saison. They ferment well in the heat, and you don't need to take up room in your freezer for them. And...

    Brewing attire?

    Generally whatever I happen to be wearing that day. Usually jeans and a tshirt. Kinda wanna dig out my lab coat now, though.

    Free carboys

    If they're still available at the end of the month, I'll see if I can convince SWMBO that we need to take a trip up there. I'm not holding my breath on either of those, though.

    What other hobbies are you guys into?

    Playing guitar, ren faires, grilling, very basic wood and leather working, and getting into gardening soon.

    Anyone else gets a really nice, warm and fuzzy feeling

    I have a bunch of new brewing toys waiting for me when I get home from deployment (soon!). It's gonna be even better than Christmas.

    First Bottle Day!

    Part of the fun of brewing is experimenting and trying out new things. It's good to get a feel for the basics, but if you feel like you have the basic concept down, I say go for it. Maybe try one of the easier experiments (the wheat and the DIPA should be fairly straight forward), and then...

    Lunar eclipse

    Great view from our ship out in the middle of the Pacific. It's my first time seeing a lunar eclipse. It's quite beautiful.

    How far do you drive to your job??

    Somewhere between 30-45 minutes, depending on how traffic is.

    Maple Sap Instead of Water?

    Someone mentioned the final gravity being something around 1.009, or so. I forget which link I read that in. I'm kinda curious about the taste of it, too. It could be quite interesting.

    Maple Sap Instead of Water?

    https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/maple-sap-water-beer-224755/ https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/using-maple-sap-instead-water-5835/ Here's the link to a couple others who had the same questions. It sounds like the general thought is that you won't really get any of the maple flavor unless...

    o2 flow meter

    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JIVWPA/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 This is very similar to what we use in our clinic. As long as you have a standard O2 bottle, you shouldn't have an issue.

    California 8 Gallon Stainless Brew Kettle

    If I didn't have a baby on the way, I'd definitely take this off your hands.

    What keywords for craigslist

    I usually try a few. Keg, kegs, corny, cornelius, kegging, home brew, homebrew, home brewing, homebrewing, soda syrup container, soda syrup can, ball lock, pin lock. Sadly, people in my area seem to be holding on to them pretty tightly, for the most part. These guys usually have some...

    Second round of fermentation - first time this has happened

    Another thing to consider is that if it is still fermenting, it may drive out some of the aroma from the dry hopping. Definitely an easy fix, though. Other than that, I agree with the guys above me. Check the gravity again and see if it's still changing. And definitely give it a taste.
