I found this too in the first couple weeks, but I do IPA's with a Lager yeast (SafLager W-34/70) and After a month it gets really clean. I think the grassy flavor either gets cleaned up or it breaks down over time. As to why I use Lager yeast, it tastes more American IPA-ey that way. The...

I can't say I've ever tried it, but if the bag holds on to the bits well enough it seems like it would be fine, otherwise you'll get lots of particulate in your beer.

I just pop the bag in my service keg when I rack to it and leave it. I made my last Pale Ale in July and it lasted on tap until a couple weeks ago, didn't seem to get excessively bitter and by then the whole keg was basically like the inside of your hop bag from an exposure stand point. I should...

You take your dry hops out of the keg before it's empty?

Lambic Update! Well after a long year the lambic has been racked into the keg and is carbing up at mad high PSI as we speak. Overall I detect a bit of a DMS like tone to it which I got out of a flailed Berlinner Weisse I tried a year prior. I plan on sweetening in the glass and I was amazed at...

It's still Sleeping, I plan on racking it once I get a free gas line in my kegerator. (Hopefully middle October?) It has a kind of DMS smell to it, but we'll have to see when it's keg time.

Umm I'm damn sure Calaggione, the Conway Brothers, Fritz Maytag, and Ken Grossman along with all the other craft brewers out there are also "out to make a buck and are set to increase production while decreasing costs" That's how Buisnesses work. And didn't anyone ever tell you why corn and...

Since you've decided to turn this around into an Ironic laugh at noncritical thinking, lets try some critical thinking. What evidence do you have to not Trust big brewers?

That's Leela she was awsome too.

How can you forget Peri? She was STACKED! (the fake american accent wasn't so hot though)

I think Matt really got on his stride for the Pandoricum finale, and the christmas special. I can't wait untill the 23rd!

He left to go do other stuff. He did a great version of Hamlet with Patrick Stewart, and there were roumors of him in The Hobbit but that seems to have been just rumor. Also he left with show producer and ressurector Russel T. Davies. Mostly they both left to go do other things. I also think...

I love every doctor in their own way. But Tom Baker is the esence of the doctor, although Tennant was BRILIANT! I usualy brew on Sundays to a DVR of the F1 race.

I never thought of using the Glencarin for big beers.(awsome whisky glass) I have lill 5oz snifters though. Makes splitting a 120 or some such giant beer in a 12oz bottle very nice between 3-4.

Well I do know most of the resturaunts and beer places around here use Libbey. You don't see a lot of flaws and they have some bounce so they usualy hold up good to mishandeling and dishwasher stress. I think they are cheap just on account of the volume, I can't think of one resturaunt back...
