    Didn't Rinse PBW Well Enough.

    I kegged a beer after using PBW and then sanitizing the keg. Hit it with the gas and when I purged the release valve blew out some PWB. I think I may not have rinsed the lid. Thoughts? I don't think it will be a big issue, but wanted to check with you all.

    How Annoying is it?

    When all your taps kick at the same time? I've got two and they both kicked tonight. One keg full to replace, an two lagers not ready so need to brew for necessity. Was hoping to do winter beers this weekend, guess its more pale ales and blondes.

    Favorite Westerns

    Well lets hear it. Nothing like having a few beers and watching a great western. For me personally, I love The Wild Bunch, The Searchers, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, and Winchester 73. Currently watching One-Eyed Jacks.

Which is odd to me because I used San Diego Super Yeast and White Labs California Ale WLP001. Both should ferment out clean. So I checked...

    Adding Dextrose Corn Sugar to a recipe?

    For IPAs and Pale Ales I have heard this is done to dry them out. I believe Pliny does this. Any thoughts? Do any of you do this regularly? Experiences? Thinking of doing it with a large all grain IPA this weekend.

    So I want to grow my own hops, like every good home brewer should, but I need to know from the dog owners here. Do the dogs go after them? Do you fence them off? What do you do?
