So I had shoulder surgery a couple weeks ago. Bummer. Good news: another week off that I can spend brewing. We throw a pioneer day bash every year (Utah holiday) since our backyard is literally the closest to ground-zero that you can get. Last year, I floated 5 cornies. Because of the...

topic says it all. Last year when I was here, I went to crescent city brewing co. Big mistake. I've never had such a buttery märzen or overly-estery amber. I dig what Abita is doing, but I think that's a bit far away to walk. I'm staying in the French Quarter, and I can't handle another...

Really, I should be studying for this. Thermodynamics/Physical Chemistry II final tomorrow AM. First thing in the morning on my birthday, no less. Then I walk friday. But really, all I want to do is kill time on here with periodic checks of my hops' growth in the backyard. :D Motivation...

I just pressure-tested another keg I have that looks like it's been knocked around a bit. It holds pressure fine to 20psi, but above that there's a faint "hiss". I replaced the O'rings for the lid, dip tubes, and put new poppits in the posts. With a a little soapy water I noticed that the leak...

Well, I hope some of you enjoy this story. When read from 20-20 hindsight, it's hard to imagine I didn't predict what was going to happen. Total pwn3d n00b here. So I have a batch of Ed's Haus Pale that I transferred to keg. I noticed he said he put 1oz of pellets in a steeping ball to...

So many of us have freezers filled to the brim with hops. While most have had the foresight to stock up on varieties that we use in our regular brews, there's the occassional odd-ball recipe that calls for something not in the freezer. This leads to a dilemma with 2 options, use another variety...

...For $56.29/lb. This has to take the cake for the highest-price bulk-hop, eh?

So I recently received 5 kegs as part of a massive bit of brewing equipment 2 friends left when they abandoned Utah. Woot for me. But, alas, there's a problem. 4 of the kegs are ball-lock, from one friend, and I have completely disassembled them with ease. This thread has been a tremendous...

I'll be taking the MCAT today between 2pm and 730pm MST. +++Vibes appreciated. :mug: :ban::ban::ban:

Or at least more coordinated. http://dethroner.com/2008/03/16/beer-drinkers-bigger-brains/

Hey hey hey. So I have a primary with a nice 3944 cake, and so I was curious if anyone's used a belgian wit yeast for anything other than a wit? Flavor profiles offered by WYeast and White Labs are pretty vague: Slightly phenolic and tart, this is the flavor in belgian wit. Great....I knew that...

Hey guys, how does this look to you? Basically I took my Lupomania recipe, converted it to AG, added 1oz of Wilammettes for 10min. I really, really liked the hop profile from the Lupomania. I decided to add the late-addition wilammetes to round-out the flavor hop profile. Hop Salad 14-C...

10 steps forward, 11 steps back I guess. I made Budweiser. :( I started off with the Blonde Ale guidelines in the latest BYO, but then decided to add a titch more malt extract and use EKG's as the bittering hop. "Goldinglocks" has a nice ring to the name. Recipe is below...seemed pretty...

So a few weeks ago I took my first shot at a lager. Probably should have gone for something more forgiving, with some nice dark malts to mask any off-flavors...but what's the challenge in that? So I had my hand at a Bohemian pilzner. Simple extract recipe with pilsener extract, carapils for head...
