Also, since St Patrick's Day I have a thing where I think its cool to dye beer green with a couple drops of food coloring. Drinking one now.

Not so much brewing related but my confession is I hope I win the NCAA bracket challenge AND the HBT giveaway control panel...I'm just that greedy
When I'm not drinking my homebrew, and I'm drinking beer, it's an Old Milwaukee Light.
Against popular advice...i tasted my sour wort after souring but prior to boiling.
That was Saturday....today is Monday and I have barely left the bathroom.
Don't taste the sour wort.
I'll confess....I've never used star san. I clean everything with b-brite and then rinse. Only had 1 infection since I started years ago and I'm 100% sure it was the cacao nibs. Maybe some day I'll use it but every time i get to the LHBS I see the price and just grab some more b-brite.
If this guy has a special place in homebrew hell, then I'm the Devil himself.

Yes this is true, you are Lucifer...or at least his little brother...lol.
If your taste is for the lighter commercial beers, what do you brew to get close to the style/taste?
Nothing.
My taste is for all beers... I can pick up a 30 pack of Busch Light for $16.99, there's no way I'd put in the time and effort to brew that.
I mainly brew American Pale ales that are really IPAs... ~6-7% ABV, 60ish IBU range.
That's cool. To get as close as possible to a BL type beer I brew Biermuncher's C Blonde and leave out the Vienna malt. After a month of cold storage it strikes me as really close to a light commercial lager...BMC friends really like it too. Maybe give it a shot one day...at the least it is very inexpensive to make.
This is all anonymous, right? ;-)
Absolutely. It's not like someone will put this on the internet.
I've never used a blowoff tube. I oxygenate with pure O2, pitch adequate starters, and ferment at the lower end of the optimal temp range. Never found a need for one.
I brewed last night and forgot to pitch the yeast until I got home from work this afternoon. I am not worried.
I did the same thing. Let starter wort start chilling in a sink water bath, then head off to work and forget it there. Pitch it when I got back.
I am a 5-Gallon BIAB Brewer and I "fly-sparge" with a measuring cup.
