I've been doing this for over twenty years. I'm old you know. We must have been separated at birth ;-)

What I'm seeing AND hearing is stupendous. Keep up the good work and enjoy yourselves. Anybody got a Big Green Egg? Got one for Father's Day. 'Course first thing I did was bread. OFS (outfknkstanding). Sell a kid, live in your car, borrow from Western Sky, or steal one! You fkn gotta bake bread...

That's somewhere in the realm of philosophy that is supposed to govern toilet seats. It's all too metaphysical for me. Makes me drink. RS

To All, Ok, ok. I get the message. You all want to work for your bread. I don't think it's going to be any better than mine, but go for it. No, I'm not trying to be a smartass. I don't cut corners, I just believe there's a limit. It's cool. We're all cool. Guess I'll go build a brick oven. I...

Can someone give me a very GOOD reason for secondary fermentation. What a pain in the ass. RS

Bryan, You're in my hometown. I live up the road now; Canton. Retired. Let me be the first to tell you, your worst batch of beer will taste just fantastic. You will never go wrong. I did a lot of brewing about 17 years ago but had to quit. Now I'm back into it with a son in law. Just bought a...

Just made a batch of ale after a 17 year hiatus. Kegged it. It's flatter than paint. All the ingredients were good, yeast new and very active, sanitation was job one. AC at 5.5%. Tastes ok. Comments? Suggestions? Ok, new information. Primed with 1/3 cup malt sugar, boiled of course. Kegged...
