HooKTronic ----- Halo reach right now but I want to get into some new Call of Duty. Or whatever. Im a nerd!!

Ya the beaches are unreal but I dont have any idea what its like for people that live there.

But I have only been there once. I would probably live in Gulf Breeze or Navarre if I moved there. Anyone from there have any info for me? I would be working at Whiting Field in Milton but I dont mind a drive to live on the beach. Any info would be awesome

Oh and Austin is a fantastic town! I just moved back after 10 years being all over the place (including Germany) and there is nowhere else I would rather be. The guys at Austin Homebrew are really helpful and they are crazy about beer.

What does Maris Otter add to the beer. Does it have a malty, biscuity finish? I am definately using it next brew because the name just sounds cool. Thats reason enough for me. Thanks for all the great info. Keep it coming!

ghpeel: Could you hook me up with the recipes for the Maris Otter/Amarillo and the Vienna/Centennial. Lots of great info. Are there any commercial breweries that sell a SMaSH?

I understand now. Even if I entered in a competition where APA is acceptable, to have over the 1.060 OG would technically be out of style. 2 more beers for me! Thanks for the clarification and input

Well it is 100% American Pale Ale. I read over the BJCP guidelines and it is unmistakeably an APA. According to the guidlines it also says that the OG on the high end should be 1.060. Could I enter the beer and label it as a 1.068 just to get it in? I doubt I would win but it will be fun to enter

There is a Homebrew Competition coming up in a few weeks that I was wanting to enter my beer in. I was reading through the rules and noticed that the beer had to have an OG of 1.0666 or higher. I brewed and american pale ale and while I didnt take a reading, I know it couldnt have been that...

Thanks for the replies and the awesome info. BillyBroas: I will give that recipe a try Flip: Awesome info on that radio clip I have to give Maris Otter a try now also since you all mentioned it!

I am at the point where I want to start making my own unique brews. I was wanting to know, for the sake of learning different hops, if there is a grain that would be best for highlighting the hops? I want to buy the grain in bulk then just try different hop additions so that I get more of an...

So you said that no more than 13# of grain for this process, is that because of the size of your pot? Could 15# be done in a 34qt pot?

Durango- If those schools werent on the west coast I would roll today. I like it out west. I was stationed in California for 2 years and had fun. Beercrazy- If I make it in town early (we might leave friday because why not.) I will PM ya and see whats happening. Looking forward to trying those...

Hey thanks for the replies. Im pretty excited to be in a city again. Small town country just isnt my style. Durango- If I go with Microbiology for my major it would be for brewing. I researched and many brewers go for a microbiology degree since only Oregon State offers brewing as a major...

My wife and I will be moving to Jacksonville, FL on Saturday! Its going to be nice being in a city with things to do again. We just decided to move a week and a half ago so if anyone knows of any jobs let me know. Really just need something part time because I am going to be using my GI Bill...

Sounds easy enough. Thanks for the info. I will let ya know how it turns out.

Got my CO2, got my kegs, got my beer. Shangri-La is near. I sanitized with start san. Now my only question is should I force carb at room temp or wait until its in the fridge for 24 hrs? Im not drinking it until Saturday so no hurry really.

Well.. There is only one place in this craphole town that will fill my C02 and they cant do it until late next week. Really throwing off my schedule for christmas brews!! But I guess I will wait.

OK.. well I'm going to wait. Takin WildWest's advice. I looked at his avatar and just felt I could trust him.

Man I just hate postponing a brew day!! Well maybe I can wait. Maybe.
