Oops, Wisconsin.

I am looking for, or to start a brewing club in Madison. Thats about it, anyone else from around here?

That is pretty cool actually. That mash tun is AWESOME! I wonder what it tasted like.

I can't find that drain pipe? Where did you find it?

Looks like we have a good starter going here...

Wow........

I guess with all the sanitation and proper care for yeasts, I was expecting to mess them up some how. These yeast in this growler havent been sealed from the outside. But now that I think about it, its not that surprising, you are right. If you can culture and use yeast from a bottle of beer...

My future roommate, whos previous landlords were apparently not able to be contacted, so now he has to bring in someone who has to fill out an application to co-sign for him, its going to be another week before we can move in because they have such absurd standards. They are a college rental...

So I have been playing with yeasts, cooling them, making starters etc. I recently made a starter from a vial of trub from my Oatmeal Stout. I just made a 1L starter, moved it to a larger container, added another 1L of wort. It was just experimental fun learning. It has been sitting in maybe .5L...

Funny thing actually... I have never had an ESB. I was going for a Pub Ale, easy drinking malty style bitter. I just say ESB because it was intended to be stronger than an ordinary pub ale/bitter. I really have no idea what I am talking about still, but I am learning! Thanks for the input!

Like I said, I have no idea what the ingredients actually taste like, I was just going off the little bit I remembered and the help of the LHBS. The caravienne does seem very out of the style, but thats ok, live and learn, theres always the next ESB. Thank you for the input orfy, I will take...

This is my second recipe I have made, my fourth AG batch, the previous three as my sig says were Oatmeal Stouts. I made this with Beer Smith, I still don't know a whole lot about the ingredients, so I just threw it together at my LHBS... 7lb Maris Otter Pale Malt 1lb Biscuit Malt 1lb...

:off: Where do you all get those really cool awesome wooden stirrers?!

Wooo, grats on the bottling! It will be great, don't worry, when those tops go pop, the smile on your face... Great!

Im a fan of StarSan. Cheap, easy, lasts long, works fast... I see no reason to use something else.
