The latest trip to the promised land, a.k.a. Binny's Beverage Depot, was inspired by Maru's post in the Tap Room regarding an RIS. So I took his suggestion on one of those and purchased some Old Rasputin. And since it was lonely in the cart, I also added a six-pack of Kolsch, which is a style...

Ugh, I've had a honey-hibiscus whit in primary for six weeks now and haven't bottled. *Sigh* I figure if I submit myself to public, non-bottling-in-time humiliation then I will actually force myself to bottle it before I see how long yeast can live.

I thought this was a pretty good card. Any thoughts?

Well, it's my seventh batch and I finally had call for a blow-off tube. Of course, I'd been operating under the "I use plastic bucket fermenters, it will never happen to me," line of thinking. Needless to say, I wasn't quite prepared for it. And thus, after a harried trip to my LHBS, I had the...

I'm brewing this kit from AHS right now, and I've never used honey before. But dang does that smell good! Edit: Ugh, guess I shoulda got hewked on teh Fonix! I read the boil times wrong and boiled it for 30min before adding the seasonings and resetting the timer for fifteen minutes. Oh well, I...

Okay, so I've been out of work for a while, but I'm getting a larger than expected tax return on my Fed. My finances are still solid at this point, so I'm planning on banking the Fed and spending my state return on beer making stuff. But I can't decide on which spring seasonal from Austin Home...

Looking for suggestions on a kit or extract recipe for an IPA. I'm a big fan of the citrusy hops, low to medium fan of piney ones, and don't care for floral aromas, etc.

OMG! I just heard that they stopped making this! Grrrrr!

Kind of interesting. Anyone know what type of hops are in this? I bet I could probably look up a clone recipe on here, but I don't feel like it at the moment.

I just killed off the best beer I've brewed so far, my Orange Hefe. Of course, with only four batches gone, it's not saying much, but it was much better than the first three. What's been your best beer to date??

Okay, so my name here is "Chudz", which I based off of a character I had in WoW. That name was originally a take on the C.H.U.D. movie and a warez site, which added the "z". So I'm thinking of a brewery graphic that melds both of those, but I'm not talented graphically. Anyone feel bored?

Okay, so I bought this on a whim. It's now cooling in the fridge. Will I be regretting this??

Just a piece of flash-fiction that I wrote, but I think it fits in well for this holiday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, Supah Freak! Kiss the Dandelion King, but watch out fo’ his mane. Then groove on through a liquid sky...

I got a bottle of the Cinq Cents, and it is good. And the more Belgian beers I try, the more I'm hoping that Belgium will adopt me one of these days. :D

So how many times did this card change? :D Anyway, I have mixed emotions on the main event. I want Thiago Silva to win, but I think Evans is more skilled with his hands. There's also a rumor, that Silva's camp denies, of him having an ankle injury (from MMAjunkie). Joe Lauzon vs. Sam Stout...

Last night, I was just sitting around, minding my own business, when all of a sudden I get jumped. A victim of ambuscade by little, glass savages. So I'm doing my best to defend myself as more and more home brews burst out of hiding and join the attack. In the span of several racing heartbeats...

Wow, some great fights tonight. Not sure how I feel about that main event, especially after the three knees to the wumpy of the other guy. :ban:

So I was working on expanding my taste-library of different beers, before I started brewing. I guess I always had a taste for more. But since I've been brewing, I've been even more concentrated on rounding it out, plus more knowledgeable about what is actually out there in the first place...

Any predictions?

What a great hobby. Anyway, I bottled my Witbier today, after three weeks in primary. I'm using plastic buckets as fermenters, so it's always a trip to see what everything will look like when I open it, based on the style and yeast, etc. It sure tasted good, though. And I'll be bottling my...
