I should also mention that I find it silly that the MLS has resorted to naming things to capitalize off of the European success (i.e. CONCACAF "Champions" League, and "Real" Salt Lake, "Sporting" KC). :confused:

Looks like the game can be viewed online here. http://www.quiroz-solutions.com/

I'm a soccer player and fan, but really only somewhat follow the European leagues. I would be more of a fan, but I don't have cable, so I only watch the occassional match when I can for free online. I would say my favorite team is Liverpool, with Chelsea a distant second. I have to admit...

Thanks for the reply, Wes. Yes, that's very helpful information. I plan on having about 10 guests as well, so it's good to know that 15 bottles is plenty. I think my group will be a good mix of micro-brew lovers and non. I don't anticipate any excessive drunkenness either...:drunk: My...

Hi, I know this thread is a bit old, but I'm planning on a similar beer tasting party in a couple months. I read through the entire thread, and I was interested in how your party turned out. Cheers, Patrick

11.1 IBUs? I think this may be a typo.

Well, I'd love to provide details, but other than two weeks in primary, I don't really have any numbers. I'll just assume that that is my problem and be more detailed in my process next time. Actually, the current batch I have is pretty much complete. I'll try to recap them. Thanks...

I posted a recent thread about the bad luck I've had with my last three (yes, 3!) batches that turned out overcarbed. MOD EDIT [Threads Merged) It's sad that they're undrinkable and I had to dump them. Since I always drink a glass of the beer when I transfer from secondary to bottles, I...

Thanks for the replies, good to know it's not the elevation then.

I've kept our house around 73 degrees, and the beer tastes fine, other than being overcarbed. In fact, I suppose if I just left it out for a while after opening it, I could then drink it. Who knows? I'll open some more bottles this weekend and see what happens.

Hi all, Since living here in AZ at an elevation of about 4,000 feet, I've made three batches (5gal), all of which have turned out as gushers. I became suspicious of the elevation after the first batch, so I asked the employee at a LHBS in Tucson, who told me there is no effect. Second...

Wait a minute, please. Just because someone doesn't report all money on their tax return (cheating the govt.) doesn't have anything to do with how he/she would act in a situation involving individuals, children. If she wasn't willing to amend her return and include the income, then she...

OOps, I really should look at other threads before I come here and post. Mods, please delete. :mug:
