Awesome websites thanks for the info

Hello everyone. I turned 21 today, my first batch should be about done carbonating but I have a question. I live in southern Illinois where there are no brew pubs or a whole lot of craft beer and I was wondering if there was a way to say get beer shipped to my house? If this can be done where...

Thanks. I will definitely be studying hard. After coming this far there is nothing standing in my way on my road to success. :) I still can't believe that this is happening.

Haha yep I'm excited! Thanks for the comments again everybody.

Update: Today I found out I got accepted into midwestern school of pharmacy in Chicago! I'm so happy and there's nothing to do but celebrate :)

Third times a charm? If it happens again and it still doesn't break then you have somehow officially zombified your hydrometer lol. It may not be alive but it lives to test another day.

Ok thanks :) I figured I didn't have anything to worry about but I was just checking

I was bottling my first brew yesterday :rockin: and I noticed that I accidentally sucked some of the yeast rafts that never settled out into a few bottles. I know it's probably not and issue but I was wondering if they would settle out by the time they are ready to drink.

Also I was wondering is it normal for it to take an hour to cool wort using the ice bath method?

So today I brewed my first batch of beer. :rockin: it took a lot longer than I expected but everything went ok I guess for the most part... Besides making a huge mess and missing my og by 10 points. This was an Irish red ale and was supposed to have an og of 1.044 but I got 1.034. I'm kind of...

Loved organic chemistry... Lol I'm trying to get accepted into pharmacy school right now

I was thinking the exact same thing when I read this

SWMBO took a sleeping pill tonight. After she fell asleep I was getting the urge to fill my tobacco craving. So I get up and realize that I had left it in my car. I grab my car key, slip into shorts, and slid on some shoes to run outside and get it real fast, shutting the door behind me. At this...
