Has anyone here got one of these "Brewing Sculptures" from MoreBeer.com? If any of you got one, are you happy with it? They look pretty nifty....now if I only had a sackful of benjamins. http://morebeer.com/product_images/1/1921.jpg

I'm fairly new here so what I have to say is probably not of that much interest to you all but I just gotta know if anyone else has the same preferences to beer as myself. Just so you know, I have consumed hundreds of different beers over the years and some of my favorites have always been...

I should clarify that when I say "sugar" I mean any kind of sugar, such as the malt sugar from the grains. I'm not asking about how much sugar is in beers that actually have it added (like some belgians) in some form. ~S.T. Out

Hey everyone, I'm looking for information on the sugar content of the main styles of beer (Pilsner, Pale Ale, IPA, Porter, Stout, Barley Wine). I'm guessing that the higher the alcohol the more sugar in the beer. Why does a beer that is high in alcohol have to be high in sugar? Is it...

Hey everyone, I just tried Ruination IPA and found it to be quite weak. I was a little dissapointed actually. I compared it to another IPA (8%) I have in my current keg which was brewed by a friend. When you take a sip of the IPA I have and then try Ruination, the Ruination was actually...

After I drink a 12 oz. bottle of brew I am almost always unsatisfied. I first take a few sips, then a gulp or two, and I take another look at the glass and its about gone! I know, I know....I should just drink two bottles. But I really believe that an 18oz. bottle would be perfect most of the...

Great label! :rockin::rockin::rockin::rockin: Its got a nice 50s retro look to it.

Hello everyone, I have been trying more and more Lagers, Kolschs and Wheat Beers, etc. and am finding that I enjoy them a lot more than I have in the past. Heavy dark beers were the only thing I thought I should spend my time and money on. But recently I tried some excellent Lagers and...

This is exactly what I have been thinking. And he just informed me that he can only use one type of yeast at any one time because he doesnt have a lab/clean room setup (that explains a lot). I think he is using White Labs California at the moment. I really can't imagine brewing so many...

Hey everyone, I was just chatting with a friend who runs the local brewery/pub in town and I brought up Belgians asking what he thought about them. He just stated he didnt like them and the main reason being that when making a Belgian Beer you "break all the conventional and traditional rules...

Radarbrew, Okay, good, its just conditioning. Its definitely one of the best brews I've tasted but maybe thats just the 7% talking after having 2 or 3 large glasses :cross: I'm over in Eastern Oregon, in the foothills of the Eagle Caps. ~S.T. Out

Anybody at all? Someone must have heard of something like this before. The beer changed a lot in just 3 or 4 days of sitting in the keg. I've never read or heard about this happening. Thanks. ~S.T. Out

Hey everyone, I started drinking my Belgian Dubbel exactly one week ago. And tonight I had my first glass of it since Sunday (4 days ago) and noticed that it was quite different. When first drinking it for the first couple days it was VERY fruity and bubblegummy but tonight it has more of a...

Here is my list.... 1. William Wallace (guess I'd need to speak Gaelic though) 2. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (one of the best writers ever) 3. Patrick Henry (intense patriot) 4. Captain Blackbeard aka Edward Teach (what a character!) 5. Jack Bauer (might be kinda dangerous to hang with him...

Hey everyone, Just tasted the fruits of my labor. Its the Organic Belgian Dubbel Mash-Extract kit from 7 Bridges. Recipe is: 6 lbs. Organic pale malt extract 2 lbs. Briess organic pale 2-row malt 3/4 lb. Weyermann Pale Munich malt 3/4 lb. Weyermann Carahell malt 1/2 lb. Briess organic...

Looks a little toasty. The picture definitely goes with the name. Nice job! :rockin: :rockin: :rockin:

Ahh yes, I remember correctly now. The yeast consumes the sugars. So what we all love so much is really yeast crap! :cross: I would love to let it sit longer but certain people are expecting beer this weekend so I gotta get it in the keg in the next couple days. Oh well, maybe next time I...

Sorry, sorry everybody. Forgot all about volume verses weight :D I was really bummed for a couple minutes with the 5.6% and then I thought I'd better start over with my numbers and I also came up with 7.1% :ban: I just forgot to change the alc by weight to by volume. ~S.T. Out

Hey everyone, I have a Belgian Dubbel (not a true dubbel, just a partial mash kit) that has been in the secondary for two weeks now (was in the primary for 8 days) and I just took a reading today and its only 5.6% alc. while it should be closer to 6.8%. O.G. .068 F.G. .014 Could I have taken...

I was always on the good stuff :ban: I never once tried Bud, Coors, Miller, etc. (thank God). I'm 22 and I've been drinking all kinds of different brews ever since I was 15. The first really good brew I remember drinking was Chimay Bleu :cross: It was then that I fell in love with Belgian...
