The Belmont Brewing Company is pretty sweet down by the Belmont Shore. And there is always Yard House right in downtown LB by the water. not a real big fan of those chain restaurants, but with 100+ beers on tap, you cant go wrong.

Diane Lane was in Six Pack with Kenny Rogers

Yeah, we tried that and it just couldnt get a good seal after the first use. the CO2 worked good during the first batch but without a air tight seal on the 2nd batch, the C02 was pretty ineffective, we couldnt keep the pressure up, it just leaked right out. keep in mind this was about 4 yrs...

Anyone else psyched to see this fight tomorrow? I really REALLY hope Hatton shuts Floyd Jr. up. Hatton looks like a rabid dog in the ring. i ususally wouldnt root for the foriegner but i just have to in this case. Kudos to HBO in their 24/7 shows gearing up to the fights, now im gonna be out...

No need for a secondary with that kind of beer. i would leave it in primary for 1 more week and then bottle. should be decently carbd after 2 weeks in time for new years:drunk:

Me and my brother bought a beermachine years ago. the first batch we made turned out great, but after that first batch we could not get the thing to seal up properly again and the 2nd batch turned out horrible. im not sure if you need to replace the rubber seal after each use, but if you check...

i just soak in hot tap water for 30 mins, peel off the labels then use a steel sool scrubber lightly to take off the remaing glue and paper, quick, easy, and cheap

for that OG, just a one step 500ml starter should be fine. no need to hop the wort either

I just fill up the sink with hot tap water and soak about 12 at a time in there for about 30 mins-1hr, then the labels should just peel right off. then just use a steel scrubby pad and lightly scrub the bottles down to get the glue and left over paper off, works great

so any ideas on this guys? i think i might just risk it and bottle them tonight, maybe reduce the priming sugar down to 1/2 cup

I brewed a Bavarian Hefe almost 2 weeks ago. OG was 1.052. took a reading after 5 days and it was at 1.020. then took one 3 days ago and it was at 1.019, i shook up the pail to get some yeast back in suspension and yesterday it is still at 1.019 with the temp adjustment, so im assuming its done...

i would definetely not pass up a brew day and just use the vial, make sure you get a lot of O2 int he wort before pitching. if it doesnt start up within 2-3 days, i would pitch some dried yeast. then brew another batch on Sunday!!

as long as your sure it reached the FG and is done fermenting, otherwise things could get messy

I also have a wiezen in the primary right now, its been 7 days and i plan on bottling this weekend, probablly at 10 days. thats the great part about wiezens, you dont need to condition them which means you get to drink them sooner:rockin:

Not at all. although some will say to boil the water first to avoid contamination, i just throw a couple gallon jugs of bottled water in the freezer a few hrs before brewing.

i just got a headache

You say you followed the directions to a T so im assuming you did this, but if you forgot to add the priming sugar at bottling tiime this would have caused the lack of carbonation. Also, did you store these in the fridge right after bottling? this also would have caused the lack of...

The only good thing about Grolsch is the bottles anyway

you'll want to wait for the wort to ferment before adding the pellets to dry hop, typically a week. i just toss them right in, i think it is close to impossible to contaminate your brew with hops.

i dry hop in the primary when called for (but only b/c i dont have a secondary yet) and have turned out some great tasting beer:)
