So here's what I get while drinking on of my Cream Ales with the 'odd' taste. Smell: nothing special. nothing offending or what I would call odd Taste: sorry, I just can't place it. To me, it doesn't seem like I've cornered any of the 'off flavors' mentioned in How to Brew. My notes...

i've looked, and as best as i can remember, i guess i would have to say somewhere between the diacetyl and soapy. you guys might force me to drink one tonight and take better notes. I mentioned lagers becase all the ones i've done have ended up with the same odd flavors as my latest cream...

sorry, but I can't really describe 'odd'. Its like i can taste the beer, but there's something else on top, clouding the right taste out of the picture. recipe was: 7.00 POUNDS TWO ROW 2.00 POUNDS VIENNA 1.00 POUNDS FLAKED RICE 0.50 POUNDS CARA-PILS 0.50 TSP CALCIUM CHLORIDE 0.75 OUNCE...

stubbornman, I like your keg fermentor. I have 3 empties in the garage and have considered using the nicest one as a fermentor. I have some questions, if the OP doesnt mind the minor detour. 1,How do you lift that thing out of the chest freezer and 2, how do you know you've gotten all the...

Hi all. I'm not exactly a beginner, as I've been doing all grain brews for over 2 years now, but I have a nagging question. Every lager I've made, plus the last two cream ales that i've done have come out with an 'odd' flavor. I don't know any other way to describe it. In the past, I've made...

Hi all, I found these bottles for sale individually at a local Ross store. Not sure if they will hold up to carbonation pressure, so I thought I'd ask before I waste 33.75 oz of beer. I did a search for that particular brand on here, but didn't get any results. Here's a link to pictures of...

Ok, so this past weekend I made a batch of cider/apfelwein. 6.5 gallons total. I used 3 gallons of some organic cider (that comes in a glass jug, and has apple sediment in the bottom) and 3.5 gallons of Tree Top cider/juice. I steeped some cinnamon, allspice, and cloves in some of the juice...

i've made 11.5 for a total of 8079+11.5=8090.5

Dude, that's fu#@in' poetry.

Hi, I've been doing all grain for about 10 batches now, and I have a question for any experienced brewers. How important is it to get the correct ammout of liquid in the mash tun? When I brew, I get about 5-6 gallons of water heated up to 160-165, fill my mash tun about half full, add the...

I know this isnt homebrew, but I have a question. My brother in law is getting married soon, and i wanted to have a keg at his party. Does anyone know of a good place in the houston/west area to get a beer keg? I don't currently have a pump/tap, so i'd need to rent that too. thanks for any help.

I think Defalco's has a sign saying "get your CO2 tank filled here", but i could be wrong.

that's what I was thinking. Thanks.
