    Increased Beer Consumption

    Mine definitely rises come holiday time. Halloween through New Years I drink more than any other time of the year, so I guess its a seasonal thing but I always felt like it centered around the celebrating of holidays.

    What are you drinking now?

    Sampled my american amber ale tonight (1st batch of homebrew, woo hoo!). It was awesome, but could use a couple more weeks.. It's hard being patient.

    Pig Ears

    I've never even smelled them, but pig ears don't sound half bad. It's the pig feet that get me.

    There's Nothing Like IT

    I've missed DHL by 5 or 10 minutes on a couple occasions and managed to get through to the driver via phone and have them come back around that day. I bet it feels like Christmas unpacking all your stuff, best of luck brewing!

    Xingu Black Beer Clone

    I just tried Sam Adams Black Lager the other day and really enjoyed it.. I'm guessing Xingu is probably better. Anyway, I'd really like a recipe too!

    30 Year Old Beer

    In terms of my own hand bottled home brew, how long should I expect it to keep? Would it be ridiculous to save a bottle of my first batch for a grandson? I would imagine storage, quality and recipe have a tremendous amount to do with this. But on average, a bottled ale goes bad after how long?

    rehydrate yeast?

    When I screwed up pitching my yeast the first time around, I tried hydrating the second. I just threw it in a sanitized cup of distilled water and let it sit for about 15 mins before i stirred it into the wort. Having done that, I wish I had boiled then added the yeast because I think the warmer...

    Fermentation Update

    Well I went to my LHBS this morning and grabbed another packet of yeast. Sanitized everything, dissolved the yeast in some water and then pitched for round two. Got home from work not too long ago ( about 9-10 hours later) and was happy to see a fair amount of regular bubbling in the airlock...

    pitched the yeast when it was way too hot

    Well I still haven't seen anymore activity.. I'm gonna wait till tomorrow morning and then pick up some more yeast I guess. This is the kind that came with my kit, I just opened the packet and poured it in and then stirred it, while steam was still rising up, lol. the above picture isn't...

    pitched the yeast when it was way too hot

    Ok, the bubbles I saw earlier today, were literally just two bubbles and I haven't seen anymore since.. I'm fairly certain it was too hot when I pitched the yeast originally, I think from what I've read that I probably killed it. Can I salvage this batch by pitching some more yeast in? What...
