what is the guitar intro playing, in the movie Beerfest, when the American team is entering the games? like a couple of 3 note scales repeated with some chords and bass in the background... not on the soundtrack... ???

Using WLP 051 California V Ale yeast in my latest AG batch (5 lb 2 row 1 lb 6 row 2 lb flake maize 1 lb rice syrup solids), and it smells like sulphur while working. It cranked in about 18 hours (made a starter 4 days before). White Labs literature cites some strains as having sulphur...

Did a batch last night. everything went perfect. hit my temps dead-on, kept the boil going (my stove aint' too stout), everything like it should be. racking into the primary this morning (I chill all night in the brew pot in the bathtub), got pot on the kitchen table, primary on the...

Well, long story short, I use a homemade double bucket lauter tun (2 nested buckets, inner drilled w/ a million 1/8" holes, outer with a spigot). Has worked OK on recipes with a lot of 6 row. Didn't do so hot on my last Light - got stuck a couple times... Flaked maize gets gooey like. So...

Have always known that Tabasco peppers were aged 3 yr... found this http://www.fiery-foods.com/dave/hotsauce.html website that details a little more on the process. So, in a spare plastic vessel, I now have 2 lb shredded cayenne peppers, 2.5 oz of salt, and a little sugar (fermentable!)...

Had a half liter of Fuller's ESB. Going to have to make me an ESB now. Have tried Bridgeport's ESB and the Red Hook ESB, and liked them... But I'm drooling over that Fuller's. Haven't seen it around here. Gonna have to clone it or find some somewhere... Is this wrong? I feel dirty....

... I keep getting differing (but not greatly) advice on this... from searches here, local HB shop, Papazian book... I have a couple vials of WL yeast that I'd like to split across 3+ batches. Can I boil me up some high hop wort, put about 6 oz each 3 sterilized bottles, and pour about...

... go hug 'em. My best friend's (and homebrew sampler extraordinaire) brother in law had a cancerous mole removed Jul 3; and a few lymph nodes showed precancerous. He had a seizure this past Sat. and they found a golfball sized tumor in his brain. He never regained consciousness, and my...

Was making a kit brew the other night (LD Carlson / Brewer's Best German Altbier Style); and I steeped the grain in 2 gal of water. Added that water and 2 more gal to the 30 qt. pot on the outside burner. Temp probably 140 when I added a can of light ME, and a can of amber and some more water...

Seeing the turkey fryer thread reminded me of the boilovers I'm having (about 3 a batch) in my 30 qt. tall and narrow turkey fryer pot. So I start lookin' for a 40+ vessel. Brew store gots 'em for around $120. eek. Best I can find online is $79.99 and an arm and a leg for shipping...

Well, long story short me and my buddies were gonna bottle some brew, but after racking it into the bottling bucket we decided a tertiary ferment was in order (for more sedimentation). so we let it go in the spigoted bucket. Now, I'm off work this week, and wondering if I could brew me a...

2nd post... bear with me & my cronies as we learn this... We have done 2 batches of AG - an American Gold and an American Light. We are using malt, flaked maize, and rice syrup solids in each one. AG has 10 lb / 2 lb / 1 lb respectively; and the AL has 5/1/1. I got this recipe from a buddy...

...well, not new to internet forums, but certainly new here... actually 3 of us at work are partners (bought all the stuff together and share the work); we're only on our 6th batch of brew (have one still conditioning, a couple gone, others in various stages of aging and consumption....)...
