each method of home brewing does have its own place in the hobby.
Even ice cold it just tastes like a rabid monkey took time off from playing in elephant dung to piss in my mouth!!
Chaucer's mead is an excellent example of a widely available mead...that tastes like the sweat off a mule's taint.
Dude, it's bedtime. I know you want to be teabagged, but that won't help you sleep at all.
do what Kahuna says and you'll be alright
Soperbrew: to me it's just another unused option on hbt
Soperbrew: kinda like the Search function, lol
The best soak for a carboy after a long week of fermenting is a long hot soak in the tub with mineral salts and some Mr. Bubble. Put on some Celtic folk music and maybe light some lavender candles.
What?
Or do what Kahuna says and youll be alright
Well....Dangit....Nobody else was going to put it here.
Gee, ya make sticky status, and then your spent.
Some two-row and some rice solids. As for hops, show the wort a picture of Hallertau for about 20 seconds. Then lager.
No great beer is rushed. Just look at Budweiser!
Lord knows I want to keep a handle on my nuggets.
If the woodchuck's p*ss tastes sweet he probably has diabetes
Don't do it for you, or McK, or even for the beer. Do it for future you! He's gonna kick your ass if you don't bottle some beer for him.

It's perfectly ok to be in either group, but you'll be hard pressed to convert a person from one side to the other.
Each and every one of those empty bottles is one of Gods creations waiting to happen.
C'Mon Slackers...get in her and wish our friend a good one.
I'm harvesting mine due to the outage. I could send you a mason jar of "yeast samples for analysis" that really ARE yeast samples for analysis!
i'd like to preface my comment by stating that I've done exactly 2 AG brews since conversion, and therefore am clearly an expert.
If I had a bogillion dollars, I'd make the coolest polished and chrome full tilt, gas powered a$$ kicker of a 44 magnum Big Block Tunnel Ram, Dual Dominator, scared children, wild women make'n, brew sculpture known to man...The type that that Turns atheists into Christians and Christians into Brewers, but I'd still have both a 5 and a 10 gallon round cooler with copper manifold for the mash tun.
I never try and seat an o-ring without a lot of lube.
My dad just told me this on the phone and I cried "Fish is not meat son, no one evers talkes about beating thier fish."
lynwitte - what does krausen taste like?
HOW ABOUT SOME MORE ECONOMICS? However, if we further consider opportunity cost, I enjoy brewing about as much as I enjoy recreational flying. I'm willing to pay $150 per hour to fly, then I must enjoy brewing at a rate of about $150 per hour. So, to quantify my benefit across 9 hours of brewing activity, I'm getting $1,350 worth of enjoyment per batch. My net cost per batch is now -$1110. At that rate, I broke even (at $7.99/six-pack) before I finished my second batch!
Well I was pretty excited to make my brew but those f'ers didnt send me any sanitizer!!!! I could not wait so I peed in a bucked and washed my equipment with it. I think things went pretty well. Has anyone every used this method? By my calculations it should work ok. Cheers...
Best advice is to get an opaque plastic primary fermenter. This way, you will never have to look at the process while it is underway. It's not always pretty.
I had to walk around for week with a string hanging out of my johnson.
The OP, it is one of his poll answers.....
What is scary to contemplate is all the gallons of dumped beer that new brewers thought was ruined for various reasons...
How many were dumped because the airlock never bubbled and they equate bubbling with fermentaion rather than a hydrometer?
How many were dumped for gaskets or arms in the fermenter without letting the beer finish out?
How many were dumped for an "off flavor" because they tasted it only a couple days after they bottled it and it was green?
How many were dumped because they opened the bottle and it wasn't carbed (becasue they didn't wait long enough?)
How many were dumped because they made a simple mistake and thought then that they caused one of the boogeymen of brewing...HSA, etc....
How many were dumped because they thought that wort and beer was so fragile that the mere long look by the brewer would cause it fall into nastiness like a soufle after the oven door got slammed.
Think about all the first time posters who come in here because of one of the afore mentioned issues, who asked before dumping...but think of all those new brewers out there who don't have a resources we have here...or like many of them, have discovered this place AFTER they dumped a batch....
My soul cries for all the yeasties who gave their lives to brewing ignorance....the acres of precious hops wasted....all the gallons of alchohol lost to the toilet and the drain....The Horror...THE HORROR!!!
The problem is not the bag but the size (or lack) of the bag.
He needs to upgrade to Wii. Nothing says "I love you" like a nunchuk in a strategic location.
The true definition of an addiction: not stopping even when a dog is having his way with you.
Not even gonna say where I saw this one;
Wow! I made it to the memorable quotes thread!
Though I fear that my good name is being unduly linked to Deviant Wii behavior...
Sounds innocent enough...
...until you picture what holding the Wii remote in your hand like a soda can and shaking it up and down really looks like.
Former astronaut Neil Armstrong was once asked if he exercised, and he said, "The good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats, and I'm damned if I'm going to use up mine running up and down a street."
I have led an interesting life
I've even published erotica, and once, on a bet and, briefly, AND annonamously, posted the kinda of pictures that Yooper has begged/dared guys to post...And based on the comments I recieved, though I'm no Peter North, I guess I'm no schlub either....
(This post will be deleted in a few minutes so don't DARE quote me on this.)
So Revvy mentions that he's posted porno pics of his junk on teh interwebz, and he expects me not to quote him on it? Bwah ha ha! Good luck on that one.
