I'm planning on brewing the extract version of this soon, but the lhbs didn't have any munich lme, so I'm just going to replace it with additional pale lme. Obviously this will produce a different beer, but I'm curious in what ways. I plan on brewing the correct recipe in the future, but I'd...

OSU is going to cruise...hopefully.

it really is a great brew. i've given mine a few more weeks and it's getting really good.

great game between arsenal and barsa, extremely chippy, but it seems like the ref is in way over his head. i was really surprised by fabregas's mistake right in front of his own box...there's two minutes until the half, just clear the damn ball. Edit- van persie just got sent off on a terrible...

I always pull for Aston Villa but it has been a tough year....Champions League is starting to heat up, always one of my favorite times of year. FSC and GolTV always comes through with some good games (Barsa-Real game a few months ago was amazing). I think playing FIFA is what got me back into...

so i've had this in primary for 4 weeks, carbed it in a tap-a-draft for 3 weeks and tried my first glass today. I was worried about the caramel flavor as I had no thermometer when I was making the syrup, but it turned out great. The initial taste is great, but it's lacking something on the...

a few years down the road nobody remembers the ins and outs of the game. the only thing that really matters is driver, rodgers, and mccarthy all have a ring.

Honestly, I thought it was a great game. It wasn't pretty to the casual fan, but whenever you have two great defenses going at it, the offenses are expected to struggle. GB had way too many dropped passes, but that tends to happen when you try going over the middle against the steeler's...

put a minifridge in there and you have no reason to ever get up.

The first batch I ever made has been my only crummy one. The beer itself wasn't bad, but I used carb tablets that came with a kit...needless to say the entire batch turned out completely flat.

Yeah that is what I ended up doing. It came out a bit light, but it looks like somewhere between 280 and 290ish. I didn't even think to look at my thermometer until it was already getting to boil and then realized it doesn't go that high, so I just said whatever and winged it. I think the...

haha well i just finished so I guess I'll have to wait and see. The color looks decent. Guess I won't know until I try the beer. Just another learning experience.

crap, just realized my thermometer only goes to 220 and it's already cooking. i'm going to have to do this one blind. can anyone estimate how long it took to get to 290? is the color set at 290 or does it change when you get it down to 240? Anyone?

Just made my first batch of this. I'll probably let it go until June and bottle and drink it around October.

I'm kinda new but I don't post all that much. Basically I'm just taking in a ton of new information rather than doling it out.

I've always wondered how often,if at all, breweries get accused of ripping off another person's or another company's recipe. Though you can get creative, there is still a limit to the beer you can make with the finite number of ingredients, so it seems like eventually there would be some toe...

The time of year I try something sometimes has some effect. I've tried some heavier, darker beers that I didn't appreciate at the time, only to try it again in the winter and have my world turned upside down. I guess it also depends what exactly you're eating as some styles may complement it...

I just want to point out that the carboy is five gallons, so it wouldn't be ideal to use as a primary fermenter due to krausen build up and lack of head space, assuming you are making the standard 5 gallon batch. It does have the bucket which is perfectly fine to ferment in, it is just more...

I personally clean the with oxiclean and then dry them out and set them aside if I'm not bottling for a day or two. Then I usually sanitize right before bottling so that nothing has a chance to settle in. But aside from that, just watch out for any residue that develops on the bottom of the...

I've always done partial boils and topped off with water, mainly because I am limited to stove top at the moment. Some people use tap water, some use bottled water to top off. It all depends on your water quality and preference, but you would be fine either way. I've never heard of any...
