Please tell me some of you watched this thing.

Probably been asked a thousand times, but if you are serious about your water, what is your ideal profile for an IPA? With the grain bill I'm using on Saturday, and the additions I am thinking I will add, I get to this: Mash pH (room temp): 5.44 Ca - 53 Mg - 6 Na - 9 Sulfate - 155...

OK, this is less about the show and more of a "what would you do?" thread. You are the last man on earth...what does the rest of your life look like? Go...

My musical tastes are all over the board, so beware. Anyway, listen if you want. Otherwise, this will just help me kill the dead space in my meeting free Friday. Going back a ways for the first song...a little Booker T.

That is supposed to be "tips FOR an old guy trying to learn guitar". [fixed now] OK, so I have been trying to get my son (9 years old) into something. I wanted him to play basketball...but he seems uninterested. I've tried many other things, and was telling him, "you know what would be...

Who here has been told they have high cholesterol? Have you been prescribed pills for it? Any side effects from those pills? I am very curious about this. I assume this crowd is probably more susceptible to high cholesterol than most.

Probably going to be mostly overlap with the alchy thread, but anyone planning to drink anything special for Christmas today? I have champagne bottle of Boulevard 2013 Smokestack Series Imperial Stout (thanks to Finsfan). Planning to open that today, plus one or two of my "Gettin' Jiggy with...

...this should be good. Go...

Who among ye believes that their homebrew is as good as most craft beer bought at the bottle shop? Honest assessment...

I'm sitting here drinking the morning coffee, waiting for the wife to run a few errands before heading out for 5 days of camping. I've decided to use the time to download some new tunes. Suggestions...go... I know that's tough without knowing my tastes but I listen to a huge variety, so just...

If you have used both, which do you prefer and why? I get drastically different calculations using these two spreadsheets, as well as drastically different ranges of where I should be. Based on the actual pH I measured on my last brew, I'm inclined to say EZ Water is more...

I have read that you get some odd flavors from US-05 at low fermentation temperatures. Anyone confirm or rebuke that? If you confirm it, what is "low ferm temp" that creates these off-flavors? I have a blonde conditioning in the bottles right now. It was at 63F-64F for the duration of...

OK, I'm heading to LHBS today to buy my ingredients. I am not yet decided as to what to do about my yeast (dry or liquid). I am planning to brew tomorrow. Is it too late to make a starter? Fairly low/moderate OG beer - 1.050 and Brewers Friend is telling me to pitch around 200 Billion...

My biggest hurdle in brewing is the feeling that I have one day on the weekend to spend with the family and it is a bit selfish to spend that entire day brewing beer. This Saturday, the wife and daughters will be gone most of the day...leaving me and an 8 year old boy at home. I want to brew...

I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseam on here over the years but please humor those of us who've only been on the forum a short time. One request, I don't care if you call the stuff I'm talking about "trub", you know what I'm talking about so please, please, do not go into an academic...

Any other nerds play here?

I'm not looking to pirate movies, it's just that I want to go all digital and do not want to pay to replace the 100's of DVD's my kids already have. I have ordered a 1TB drive to put the videos onto but am wondering if there is a trick to ripping the DVD's onto the drive. Anyone have any...

http://www.midwestsupplies.com/single-infusion-mash-tun.html Anyone have this? Mine is being delivered today but I wanted to run to the hardware store on my home from the office to buy anything I need to go with it (without seeing the tun first). What ID do I need on tubing to attach to the...

I think I asked this same question last year at this time but I'm doing it again. Here's the decision to be made: Thinking of brewing a SMaSH Pale Ale (2 Row and Cascade) this weekend. I will be leaving 10 days after brew day to go out of town. I will be gone for nearly two weeks. So, would...
