This is awesome. Like others I have some suggestions as well. Possibly making the taglines actually case sensitive instead of all caps. Also, and this may be just me, but I use Letter size paper (8.5" x 11"), not A4 and the printout cuts off the bottom of the last 2 labels. The ability...

Unfortunately we have family obligations that weekend, so I am going to have to pass this time. Z.

I had a blast meeting people and seeing how others do things. Everything was good. I am even working up the courage to make my next batch be all grain. I'm thinking something simple like a blonde or a steam beer. Z.

I am really looking forward to this, but I don't plan on brewing anything. Just helping/watching/learning.... I do plan to bring some type of food like substance, but don't know exactly what yet.... Z.

My kids have a soccer game @11:30, so I'll be by after that. Z.

I just use 1 qt. whole milk and 1-2 tbsp from the previous batch. Heat the milk over the stove to almost scalded, cool to the temp range shown on the thermometor/spoon from the yogurt maker, add the starter and add it to the maker. It sits overnight, usually 10-12 hours and it seems thick...

Along these lines, I want to brew a strawberry blonde as well. What I was thinking of doing is following the recipe for a standard blonde into the primary, then splitting it in half and putting 2.5g into secondary with the strawberries and either bottling or a separate secondary for the other...

Does the liver actually regenerate? I didn't know that...don't know if I'll know that tomorrow either....:drunk:

1046 + 2.5 = 1048.5. Although I left out the hops....not sure why exactly :drunk: Z.

I LOVE Arcadia Ales Cocoa Loco Stout. Chocolate, Molasses, and Lactose in a stout. It is delicious. Z.

I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. I was thinking maybe secondary, or in a pinch a primary if I wanted to brew something and didn't have a spare carboy. The 'dirty' aspect I figured would be taken care of between a hot water/soap bath, and some sort of sanitizer or other (iodine...

I got a plastic water bottle from my dad. It's still got the label for the water company that originally filled it, and all my dad did was put pennies in it. I know it needs to be cleaned and sanitized, but otherwise is it ok to use? I think it's #2 plastic. The bottom lists that it is NSF...

I might have to steal this(with permission, of course) and modify it for use on *my* Graff batch. I think it's *that* good. Congrats on the familial addition. I am in a similar boat with our 4th due in October. Z.

I see a lot of recipes calling for specific branded extracts: Muntons Light LME or Briess Amber DME or Blackrock Dark LME. Does the branding really matter, or is LME LME as long as the color is the same? Also, does branding matter for grains? Is Briess Crystal 40L the same as 'generic'...

It amazes me how talented you are. These drawings look awesome. Z.

Can you tell me some more about this? I plan to brew a batch of steam beer shortly and was just planning to let it condition the same way I have my other batches. Also, I should bottle condition at 70deg? I've just been conditioning at fermentation temps (~64deg), what's the reason for the...

I am looking for a recipe for a chocolate stout like Arcadia Ales Cocoa Loco Stout. It's got Chocolate, Molasses, and Lactose in it, and has an ABV of 7%. I have looked at some recipes but haven't seen any that I thought were similar so I am wondering if anyone has had it and found a close...

That's awesome! I so wish I had even 1/4 of that talent. Z.

This may have been asked before and I missed it, but how long should you keep a brew in primary and secondary? I have seen recipes that specify it and ones that don't. If a recipe doesn't say, how long should you leave it? Z.

I REALLY want to at least come and watch, especially since I can practically roll over and land in Rockford (being in Sparta and all). It's on my calendar. Z.
