The other day I was at the grocery store with my two boys. After loading the groceries into the van, my five year old pushed the cart back into the cart corral by himself, as I walked beside him carrying his younger brother. An older gentleman walked over to us and congratulated my son on being...

That sounds like a beer I would happily drink. Let us know how it turns out!

I usually limit the Crystal in my ipa's to a half pound or less. That being said, I don't think a pound is too much, just less than I would use. I like the pound of Vienna. I usually do either some Vienna or Munich, and a pound seems like the right amount to me. More late or dry hops wouldn't...

+2. Massive agreement.

Watching football. Zero interest. I'm not big into sports at all, really, but football in particular has no appeal. Of course almost all my friends, relatives, co workers are big fans.

This is something I'd like to do someday, but I know it probably won't happen for a year or two. Still, kudos to you for trying to get it started. I hope it goes well!

I haven't listened to Page France in a long time...thanks for the reminder! Anyone mentioned Pinback yet? I've been listening to them again lately - they'd fallen off my radar for a few years, and I was happy to hear they've continued making great music.

I use one, and have no issues getting a good crush. It's fast (with a drill), effective, and cheap. That being said, I've never used a roller mill. Maybe someone will give me one so I can do a side by side comparison...

"How's it going? " "Living the dream man. " "Sorry about your ****ty dream."

I'm currently fermenting a triple that I'm adding Riesling to. It'll be conditioning for quite a while though, so I won't have results for quite some time.

I just ordered Sorachi ace and Motueka (among other things) from http://www.graintoglasshomebrew.com/. Should be delivered today. This is my first order from them,so I don't have much to comment on, but shipping was pretty reasonably quick. Apparently fireslayer types faster than me.

What a waste of time.

Put in another vote for Surly. Furious, darkness, bender... I'd be perfectly content.

I'm a fan of gin and occasionally enjoy scotch, but have been delving into good Irish whiskey lately. I also would really like to try some genever sometime, but haven't found a liquor store in my area that carries it.

funny, I've been planning on doing essentially the same thing - hoping to play the sour grape notes off the fruity flavors from the Belgian yeast. I'm doing a three gallon batch as an experiment. I'm curious about what recipe and yeast you used. Keep us informed how it goes!

Hey all: I've been reading about electric systems for a while now, and am starting to get a grasp of what I'd like to do for my own system. Since I'm not someone who has any professional electrical experience, I thought I would be wise to see if there are any issues/problems/complications...

With mine, I wasn't getting very much liquid at all. My ambient temp was probably closer to 68. I warmed it up to the mid 70s, and almost instantly (within about 5 hours, actually) the liquid level increased dramatically. I'm assuming it was too cold for the enzymes to do their job. A taste...

In. And thanks. Cool idea!

I've got a test batch with basmati going right now, since that was the rice I had on hand. I can't give a comparison to other types of rice, but it seems to be acting the same. Everything is liquifying and there is a distinct fruity/alcohol smell to it.

Sorry I won't be participating in the swap. Being stored too hot for 2 months while we were between houses, moving to a new place, then living through a partial flood of the new house, mine did not make it. Or I screwed something up somewhere (thought I tried to be awfully careful). Either...
