A tight tourniquet is a great way to summon the Stranger!

Read up on batch sparging. Just use your cooler/mash tun for the mash. Drain into boiling pot when conversion is done then divide your batch sparge water in half for two separate sparges. I usually use around 185 degree water the first time and the mash will end up around 169. Then the second...

I think you should put it on a smoker for a while and do a Smoked Placenta Porter. Or stuff it with hops and brew a IIPA. Good luck!

It really pisses me off to hear about Him making beer in the White House and it is illegal in here in Mississippi. That is just wrong. Dont forget about Oklahoma and Alabama either. Let see Him do something about it.

How does a blind man know when to quit wiping? just curious

I leave them in also until the keg is gone also. I do however suspend the hop bag midway so technically it is on the beer half way through. I would not be afraid to have it on the bottom of the keg. I've never noticed any off flavors.

I just did a Wheat and Rye beer that was dry hopped in the keg with citra and amarillo. Came out awesome. I used .75 Amarillo and .5 Citra

People who pronounce the letter 'g' with word ending with ing, ong, etc... You know, it is Forrest Gumpish. Cant we all get alonGUH?

I hate: waiting in lines people who's jaw pops when they chew untangling coat hangers running out of toilet paper people who spray instead of say spastic childeren Nancy Pelosi

Carbonator caps work good also for bottling small amounts. You can find posts in here to make them for cheaper. http://www.enstore.com/brewstock/shop/item/the-carbonator-cap

You better buy another freezer for them, hops multiply in the freezer. I have a feeling you will wearing out Hops Direct.

I was thinking that this was an American Wheat style like Widmer with a cleaner yeast profile, which the S-05 works well for that. Try it sometime with your wheats if you havent already. I do really enjoy the Bavarian hefe yeasts also. The flour thing was just for a visual and not needed at...

I'd recommend using S-05 yeast at 65-67 degrees. I'd mash 152-153 for 75 min and make adjustments for a 90 min boil. Ive had good results with wheat beers done with s-05. It however it wont be cloudy unless you toss in a tablespoon of flour at 10 min to end of boil. You really do not need the...

Just tried it too.....very tasty! First time I've had a Pils with that much aroma. I'd like to make something similiar when I get my lager fermentation temp situation in order. This beer tasted like like they sneaked in some cascades for aroma. maybe its just me.
