This poll should be: Is it gay to know the botanical association for your name? The choices could be "manly", "metrosexual", "gay", or "flamer"!

I subscribed to BYO back in August and haven't received a copy yet! I hope I get this one because of all the systems I've seen, I like Brutus 10 the best. I already have a deal struck with SWMBO... If I remodel our bathroom with a whirlpool tub, I can build myself a rig like this.

I chose the kegerator route because kegging is soooo much easier than cleaning all those bottles. I figured I would enjoy kegging some real tasty ales until I come across a bargain chest freezer for lagering.

Ask this guy...

In my youth I was a pot head, at least this bitter green budding plant is legal! :D BTW, you all twisted my arm... I'll dry hop it :mug:

5 for me 2548 + 5 = 2553 Gallons

I just transferred my first IPA into secondary today after 10 days in primary and chugged the hydrometer sample. It is an estimated 68 IBU using simcoe for bittering and Amarillo Gold for finishing and I was tempted to retest the gravity so I could taste some more :D I planned to dry hop...

I usually don't bash BMC often because it's still better than drinking water (at least you get a buzz). However, I think miller has sunk to a new low. My wife bought a six pack of MIller "Chill" this weekend (don't ask me why; I'm guessing she was louered in by expensive marketing). I don't know...

Damn! :mad: I just came accross the same thing when racking my wit to a keg. I definately didn't notice this coming out of the primary. I suspect the cause could be the 'HE' bleach my wife bought. I'm always very thorough and rinse with boiled water anytime I sanitize with bleach but maybe...

Trade your son for a conical and a kegerator ;) Kidding of course! I have a 3 year old son and a 1 year old daughter and I stick to drinking beer when they're around. Brewing is out of the question. Even if I could do it, I wouldn't enjoy it. They are just too demanding. Luckily, neither my...

I recently bought an old used one off ebay for $10 (I squeek when I walk). It came with a old leather case... it's got character. In preperation for my next brew, I decided to calibrate it with distilled water and test it with sugar water tonight. Comparing it with my hydrometer it is spot on...

My mom still tells a story about when I was 5... My babysitter walked into the kitchen to find me slurping the last of a 16oz bottle (stroh's I think) with a straw. The babysitter exclaimed "what are you doing?!" and I replied candidly "I felt like having a beer". When my mom got home she said I...
