    My Partial Mash Brew Day For Moron's..

    For the past several batches I've been in a terrible slump, 1. Overconfident - Screwed up an IPA by racking/bottling to early. 2. Idiocy - Went to bottle a brown ale only to realize I only had 1 ounce of corn sugar, so I added table sugar to make up for it. Beer is awful. Yesterday I did...

    The Sad & Scary Moments of Letting Go an Overcarbed Batch.

    I decided to uncap and drain about 30 or so bottles of a 3 gal Brown ale brewed on 2-23. I screwed up and used 5 ounces of sugar instead of 3. I had bottle cap explosions in March (made a mess in the cabinet), I even chilled them all down and pried off a little pressure that same week...

    Should I pay $25 for this brew event??

    Or am I being a cheapskate ?? A ticket to the event comes with a commemorative Pilsner glass and 10 4-ounce tastings. Additional tastings may be purchased. Or should I just spend $5 to get in? $25 seems steep for a glass & 10 four ounce tastings.......... The Gnarly Hops and...
