Nice guitar! Looks a bit dusty though, how can you have a Les Paul just sitting around like that? Oh yeah great beer as well.

So today I was parked on the side of the road at a college campus and noticed my front licensce plate was ripped off and sitting on my winshield. On it also was a note from the university police that my car had been in a minor accident and the number to call. All the accident apprears to...

I have about 6 AG batches under my belt, and a decent about of homebrew in supply but because this is my first batch of a recipe I created myself I was very eager to get a taste. This was a pale ale recipe fermented with WLP001 and after 2 weeks in the primary and only about 5 days in the...

Yeah, you know I recently made my first batch of Apfelwein (should be ready to bottle in about 1 week), and it smelled bad like this too. I found it suprising that I had never read that about Apfelwein given the amount of discussion about it. It lasted less than a week for me and I actually...

Yeah well another reason why I am going to take a little break is because I am moving in about two months and it just doesnt make sense to have carboys filled when I move. Since I was a new AG brewer, I really wasnt sure if it was my process or the crush and now I have my process down I can...

That being said I do already have 15 gallons fermenting or conditioning, as well as another 3-4 drinkable gallons of homebrew right now. I have done 7 AG brews now and really feel comfortable in my technique, however my efficiency has not been very good (mid 60s). This leads me to believe...

I have used MoreBeer, and I am from NY and just had liquid yeast sent. Love the free shipping and the yeast survived the trip. I cannot comment on any of their own recipe kits as I have just ordered the ingredients I needed. Their prices are very good (esp. on hops) compared to the only other...

Hey everyone I had a brew day today and I got my grains crushed from MoreBeer.com. I had such a smooth brew day but my efficiency was low, only 68%, where I based my recipe on efficiency of 75%. I am trying to figure out why I missed and I am wondering about the crush, does anyone ever get...

The off flavors would just be in the starter wort, correct? If I decant most of it before pitching it wouldn't continue to impact the yeast as it ferments my beer.

I am just curious, I pitched my yeast into my starter a little early because I was in a hurry to leave and I would estimate the wort was about 90-95 deg. F. and the yeast was about room temp. I initially thought that was fine but there is no sign of airlock activity although it is early (only...

Well since it had been a few hours and I had no replies I started to put together the order on MoreBeer, and I noticed that they gave their current IBU rating for the hops and they differed quite a bit from what was programmed into BeerSmith, specifically the Perle. When I plugged in the AA...

Hey, This is my first attempt at creating my own recipe, and I am going for an American Pale Ale. I kind of tried to make this with some of the characteristics of Sierra Nevada Pale ale, although I am not necessarily trying to clone it. Any critiques would be greatly appreciated, as this...

Did you just buy the burner by itself and not as a part of a turkey fryer kit? I paid around $40 for the burner and an alum. 30 qt pot (I'd like to get a bigger pot at some point). Sure it would be nice to have a much larger SS pot, but for the time being my setup works for me! By the way...

Damn that looks good, I have a 360 though...

Haha, sorry I did not make it clear at all, but... Try a lager and grenadine!! Half cider/half lager with a splash of granadine, should look something like cranberry juice, I did try it and it wasn't bad!
