    Squeeze the dry hop bag?

    I found this too in the first couple weeks, but I do IPA's with a Lager yeast (SafLager W-34/70) and After a month it gets really clean. I think the grassy flavor either gets cleaned up or it breaks down over time. As to why I use Lager yeast, it tastes more American IPA-ey that way. The...

    Squeeze the dry hop bag?

    I can't say I've ever tried it, but if the bag holds on to the bits well enough it seems like it would be fine, otherwise you'll get lots of particulate in your beer.

    Squeeze the dry hop bag?

    I just pop the bag in my service keg when I rack to it and leave it. I made my last Pale Ale in July and it lasted on tap until a couple weeks ago, didn't seem to get excessively bitter and by then the whole keg was basically like the inside of your hop bag from an exposure stand point. I should...

    Squeeze the dry hop bag?

    You take your dry hops out of the keg before it's empty?

    Well meaning wife, and a Fruit Lambic Kit.

    Lambic Update! Well after a long year the lambic has been racked into the keg and is carbing up at mad high PSI as we speak. Overall I detect a bit of a DMS like tone to it which I got out of a flailed Berlinner Weisse I tried a year prior. I plan on sweetening in the glass and I was amazed at...

    Well meaning wife, and a Fruit Lambic Kit.

    It's still Sleeping, I plan on racking it once I get a free gas line in my kegerator. (Hopefully middle October?) It has a kind of DMS smell to it, but we'll have to see when it's keg time.

    This is why I make my own beer! well, it's also fun..

    Umm I'm damn sure Calaggione, the Conway Brothers, Fritz Maytag, and Ken Grossman along with all the other craft brewers out there are also "out to make a buck and are set to increase production while decreasing costs" That's how Buisnesses work. And didn't anyone ever tell you why corn and...

    Since you've decided to turn this around into an Ironic laugh at noncritical thinking, lets try some critical thinking. What evidence do you have to not Trust big brewers?

    Saturday Mornings are for Brewing and Dr. Who...

    He left to go do other stuff. He did a great version of Hamlet with Patrick Stewart, and there were roumors of him in The Hobbit but that seems to have been just rumor. Also he left with show producer and ressurector Russel T. Davies. Mostly they both left to go do other things. I also think...

    I love every doctor in their own way. But Tom Baker is the esence of the doctor, although Tennant was BRILIANT! I usualy brew on Sundays to a DVR of the F1 race.

    I never thought of using the Glencarin for big beers.(awsome whisky glass) I have lill 5oz snifters though. Makes splitting a 120 or some such giant beer in a 12oz bottle very nice between 3-4.

    Glasses

    Well I do know most of the resturaunts and beer places around here use Libbey. You don't see a lot of flaws and they have some bounce so they usualy hold up good to mishandeling and dishwasher stress. I think they are cheap just on account of the volume, I can't think of one resturaunt back...

    A year or so back some freinds and I put this to the test. My friend had some of the Sam Adams Boston lager glasses, and I did not believe they really were worth the money. So we got a nice fresh case of Boston Lager, sat down, and did some science! We tested three diffrent glasses: 1. 16oz...

    How much do you drink?

    Im 5'11" and 262# right now. Thanks to calories I get mabey 1 10-12oz glass a night with dinner IF I didn't have 2 servings of Grains at some point during the day. I've had to cut back to 3 gallon batches which still take months to drink. If I could get up early enough to excercize in the...

    Well meaning wife, and a Fruit Lambic Kit.

    Hey thanks all for pointing me in the right direction, and thanks Michael for breaking it down for me. I suspected it would be next year to drink it, I just wasn't sure how it was going to go down. I'm guessing this is more targeted at the Liefmans Fruit Beer style, so a sort of oud Bruin...
