Just put my citra wit beer in secondary on Friday. It was in primary for 6 days. Last time I made this is was cherry. Perfect beer. But didn't take notes on secondary length. Any suggestions on how long I should secondary this thing? Simplest recipe. Only 10 lbs 2-row and 10 lbs German wheat malt.

My worst beer I ever had was called a "Riebenbach". Supposed to be like a German lager. By far the worst/cheap beer I've ever had. I spit it up.

So I was doing some thinking today about what hop I would be, and I would definitely be an Admiral hop. My justification is that as an Admiral hop, I as well was introduced to beer in 1998. The Admiral has a great variance of around 13-16% Alpha Acids, not quite the highest but great for...

Update to the date. Long story short... She "didn't wake up to her alarm" and bailed on me.

All, I wanted to give an update. I will be meeting with this girl tonight. Oddly I have a good feeling about it. I will try and sneak a picture of her for everyone. Trust me I am just as interested as all of you in what she looks like. Wish me luck! I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers!

It's never too late to start a lifer...

That is something a UCLA Bruin fan would do...

I am not sure you have any idea of what you are talking about. You have no credibility. You've never had a mug so you wouldn't know what it's all about. You are just a no lifer cup Johnny pencil pushing life hater.

It's ok man. It happens. That's why I take it on vacation. I work with too many of those types. As well as with people who I feel may be out to get my mug. Is that paranoia justified?

I understand and do know the feeling of a true lifer mug fear. I have had threats too of theft, cleaning and possible creamery. I had decided to lock this in with my cabinet when I leave work and take the key home. I have forgotten a few times and the anxiety is over whelming that someone may...

Hawaiian brewer has a good point here. So instead what I have decided to do...is invite her to visit me. Then she will pay for the gas.

I want to provide an update on the girl that I did the drive by on. I have no remembrance of what she looks like except she was a brunette. I know she is thin because she does ballet apparently. Or at lease that's what she told me. I have to hope that I can trust myself about judging women's...

Recently I visited a friend in Venice Beach, CA and got super drunk. I had taken some time off drinking for about 5 days. Needless to say I got drunk really fast. It actually saved me quite a bit of cash so I didn't care. At the last bar I capped my night off with a Dogfish Head 60 Min IPA. That...

I used to never secondary the beer. I thought it was a waste of time and a risk of infection. If you are very sanitary then you shouldn't be concerned with it. Now that I am kegging, I secondary from my carboy to the cornelious keg and even a tertiary from time to time. I really don't care for...

The Raconteurs are an amazing band to listen too on Brewday

The last three brewdays have ended up with a higher OG, eventual FG/ABV than my target. It is usually approximately 1 - 1.5% higher than expected. The beer doesn't taste bad, but am tired of the rocket fuel. I have tried following recipes to the word, but regardless it still happens. I do all...

Where do you get your ideas at? Tell me you didn't see this in a movie somewhere and try to incorporate it into your real life... Hoping and praying that one day someone won't call you on your guilty conscience of the movie name. Affably, Logan

Just kegged My highest ABV yet at 8.8%. A rye IPA. So jacked up for it. Gonna get schmammered!

I added to the boil 5 minutes before. It recommends using 4 inches of bark. We used 6 inches in a 5 gallon. It's an experimental batch to figure out how to handle it come Christmas time. Excited for the outcome. Unfortunately as of yesterday the fermentation was progressing very slowly...

I used it inside a stout.
