I posted a recent thread about the bad luck I've had with my last three (yes, 3!) batches that turned out overcarbed. MOD EDIT [Threads Merged) It's sad that they're undrinkable and I had to dump them. Since I always drink a glass of the beer when I transfer from secondary to bottles, I...

Hi all, Since living here in AZ at an elevation of about 4,000 feet, I've made three batches (5gal), all of which have turned out as gushers. I became suspicious of the elevation after the first batch, so I asked the employee at a LHBS in Tucson, who told me there is no effect. Second...

So, I just heard of this organization, and it looks pretty cool. I like to run, and I like beer! Anyone participate in this in your local area? Or has anyone else even heard of this?

Anyone notice a difference in the quality of different brands of DME? I previously used a no name brand (at least not labeled), but now I've got a new store, and the malt is Briess. Brewing with the former I never had any boil overs, even after adding hops. However, with the Briess, it...

This has gotta be an HBT member I was looking for "Lazy Boy" recliners, and saw this as one of the entries. WTF???!!! Notice how many bids---0! Shocker.

I think this one tops the one of the old lady suing the McD's over the hot coffee.:confused:

I know the news is criticized a lot these days, but I have a different gripe than others I hear. I hate it when the news covers worthless things like American Idol. Those interested in that will watch the show! Since when did that become "news"?!!! I also hate what seems like a daily story...

If you couldn't have access to drink any of the good stuff, would you drink BMC or not?

How many of you are brewing good AG beer without the investment in a brewstand? I'm thinking of going into all-grain, but I don't know if I want to purchase one, or if I'll even have room for one. Is it viable? What methods do you use? How safe is it? (I'm thinking of lifting the wort...

I know that a lot of us here are students of some sort. I would assume that there are a lot of Chemistry majors here, but I keep finding more and more Finance or Business majors as well. Anyway, I've got a Bachelor's degree already in Accounting and Business Admin., and am now studying...

thinking of moving to this area. Interested in the city where I can use public transportation, preferably near the downtown area. I like the older (hardwood floors, etc.) areas of town. In KC, I used to live in midtown within walkin distance to Westport (clubs, bars, etc.), as well as art...

You know how once in a while you'll get stuck with a skunked beer, sixer, etc.? The last time it happened to me, I ended up throwing out the remaining five beers of the sixer--:mad: . I later thought that I should have just tried to return or exchange it. Has anyone ever done this? Do the...

A bit lucky...sort of. Wonder if this event will help him overcome his alcoholism? http://www.cnn.com/video/partners/clickability/index.html?url=/video/world/2006/12/16/davies.uk.train.track.sleeper.itn.itn :drunk:

What is the proper way to use this stuff? It only says use 1 tsp per gallon, but I have read conflicting ways to use it. Do I add it at the beginning of the boil, towards the end, or after pitching? I know many brewers use it with a yeast starter, but unfortunately, I haven't got the...

For those who bottle, and reuse commercial beer bottles, who leaves the lables on? I don't bother stripping them, as it is the product inside that is important to me, I don't make my own labels, and I end up pouring them into a pint glass anyways. I read a recent post that included a criticism...
