... would be to lean the two pines flanking that center pine away from it... the pine trees would look vaugely W shaped that way.

First, is the beer done fermenting? Have you reached your target final gravity (not, has the airlock stopped showing activity)? If not, you should not rack to secondary. Was your houses interior temp 80? What was the temp like inside the house? If it were me, I'd leave it where you have it...

Everything I have read suggests that it is used in very small doses as a bittering agent. along the lines of half an ounce for 30 minutes for a five gallon batch. random side note, since it seems this thread is good for that... what were the recipes for the grui ales you've made, CBBaron?

quite the far ranging thread... quickly and succinctly answering the question of the original thread.... wormwood is a common bittering agent for gruit ales. gruit, for those who don't know, is unhopped beer. for what it's worth, midwest also sells mugwort, heather, juniper, and sweet...

i have a killian's one that looks to be pretty similar. it fit my better bottle perfectly, with just enough space to fill with water and drop in some 20oz gatorade bottles filled with water and frozen. used it for lagering, and was able to maintain a 40* temp pretty easily. the drain...

i especially like that you can see the stitching. the wings were also a nice touch.

i really love the look of it. I've got a couple of suggestions. Take them or leave them, it makes no difference to me. What matters is you like your label. Suggestion 1: Even with the white outline, the blue is kind of hard to read against the black background. It doesn't quite "pop,"...

i'd thought about doing that too.

THIS IS NOT what i've done for your logo. this is about 2.5 minutes in Paint. however, based on your posts, this is along the lines of what i envision. if it looks good, i'll go ahead and work from this. i just don't want to get all the way finished, and have you go "uh, not really what i...

i'm still having trouble getting consistant hydrometer readings for my OG. FG is typically fine and consistant, but i get something like a .005-.015 swing on my OG. I *know* that the problem is that i'm not getting the wort mixed with the tapwater (i do partial boil extract batches, at the...

as a fellow cornhusker fan, i'd be willing to give it a shot. other than the words, damn your eyes! brewing co., do you have any other thematic elements included from beer to beer (some people have named all their beers after trees (the bare tree brewing dude... uh, aekdbbop) or maritime...

i made a cherry chocolate stout to give as gifts for christmas. (i primed with cherry brandy and creme de cocoa, though it should have been the equivalent of about 2/3 cups of corn sugar.) i put one in the fridge about 6 hours ago, and cracked it open a few minutes. i went to pour it into a...

the building is drawn the way it is because the house we were living in was literally falling down. it looked like a good strong wind would knock the place down, and i wanted to kinda capture that feel. the house is drawn the way we remember the place.

hey guys... just wanted feedback on the bottle label design for my blackberry wheat. the idea is that on all my beers, the house will change, and the story on the right will change to tell some of the awesome memories my friends and i have of our time on Union Street. this one's pretty tame...
