I'm in, thanks! Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

I got into home brewing back in 1992 at an Army school. The assignment was "teach a process," and one student taught the process of making beer. We made a class batch and drank it when the school was over (looking back, it was pretty awful, but we thought it was great). So who says you never...

Me, too - exactly the same result.

40713 + 5 g ESB 5 g Blond Ale = 40723

Good luck on the job hunt - hope you find a good position quickly. Enjoy the brew time!

It's not too far from Waikiki. Nice place, the food is as good as the beer list. Really enjoyed that place!

36,793 + 5g Glorious Basstard Ale = 36,798

Old thread, I know, but these things are spreading all over military bases. I had a beer done by the "micropub" in Yokosuka naval base in Japan, and it was amazingly bad. One swallow and I was done, and that was before the aftertaste kept getting worse. Why the military morale, welfare and...

I had the best opportunity the past two days. I'm planning to go commercial in October 2014. I've been to the Siebel concise brewing technology course, which I really got a lot out of, but I lacked hands-on experience on commercial equipment. Through my boss I got introduced a few months ago...

I had a cat once that loved to play in water coming out of a faucet. When he heard the sound of running water he would come running. I had a barbecue once for some friends in the back yard. One of my guests needed to use the bathroom, so he went into the apartment. Unfortunately he didn't...

Yooper's Oktoberfest 5g 30,838.5 + 5 = 30,843.5

Don't feel bad - I've been doing this for about 20 years and I still screw things up occasionally. It's usually when I'm trying something new. It seems the best way for me to learn is to screw everything up once. :mug:

When I was posted overseas, I used to host "Brewfests" to teach people how to brew. Always simple stuff (extract with specialty grains) so the process wasn't too long. It was fun for them (and often completely new), as I was teaching I was highly organized, and I made everybody stir a bit so...

Not the best photo in the world, but the beer is great!

5g Skeezer's Zombie Dust clone 5g SD Slim's Lemon Lime Weizen = 30224

Hey Mysticmead - thanks for the great recipe! I brewed this May 6th. Screwed up the recipe a bit and added too much caraaroma and melanoiden, and it had a really toasted taste to it (and the SRM was a little higher). I was pretty torqued at myself about it, but time really has made it...

It was a special circumstance. I knew customs wasn't going to open it, or I might not have dared.

When you load your suitcase full of grains, hops and yeast (in a cold pack) for your flight back to Japan and imagine the look on the TSA guys' faces when they open that bad boy up to see what on earth is in there.

The stuff is nasty, but I managed to choke it down so my Fijian friend wouldn't be offended. BIG Fijian friend...

And Tokyo!
