Catch yourself laying on the ground watching yeast go haywire in the carboy for 20+ minutes. It's like a huge, biological, beer producing lava lamp.

So long as you're having fun, that's all that matters. :mug:

Also, pardon my shameless, blatant promotion, but: Our annual BrewFest is quickly approaching and we're taking registration from anyone who'd like to enter. If you're interested, you can register on DRAFT's website. This competition is our annual "moneymaker" and usually ensures we have rent...

As the title says, I started brewing with the help of this site and Papa Charlie's book "The Complete Joy Of Homebrewing Vol 3". If all goes according to tradition, I'll be the President of my homebrew club, DRAFT come January. So, I'd just like to say "thank you". Homebrewers are a rare...

A lot of my new English Bitter. Beers like this make me wish I was set up for 10+ gallons.

<3 I need to revisit this sucker!

I'd do a partial mash, but just replace the 2-Row with a can of the lightest LME you can find. The MO won't have any issues converting itself.

Heya, Buckeye brothers (and sisters!) Dayton's largest (only?) homebrew club, DRAFT will be holding it's annual BrewFest competition on Saturday, September 14th. It's open to all styles and brewers from everywhere. You can register online at DRAFT's website. Also, for what it's worth...

Awesome!

WLP001, I'm sure US-05 will yield similar results.

And on that note, the keg is kicked. I need to re-brew!

Here's a pint of the Amarillo/Cascade/Simcoe batch. I took a growler to my last club meeting, people seemed to dig it!

I'm drinking a pint of the simcoe variation right now - it's really tasty! Again, it isn't overly bitter at all. I gave my BMC boss a bottle after he found out I was a homebrewer, now he's wanting to "donate" to my brewery for a growler fill. That said - I think I'll stick with the...
