Frankly, up until reading that website, I didn't know the problem even existed. If I wanted a beer for at camp, I just carried one. While I agree that it is probably not worth the trouble/expense, I'm still left wondering if it's possible... I'm a little leary about the guy's carbonation...

Let me preface this topic by saying this was not my idea. I just stumbled upon an interesting website last night, and haven't been able to stop pondering this problem ever since. The website is: http://www.patsbcb.com/ I am in no way affiliated with this company. In a nutshell: Pat and I...

Have her research 'pump and dump'... (basically, storing breast milk ahead of time then pumping out the alcohol milk). That will buy her a couple hours of worry-free beer-drinkin' time. Then you won't have to worry about ruining your beer with post-fermented boiling, or drinking super-sweet...

"Urban Hiking" Walk to the bar, walk to the store, walk whenever. You can easily walk 2-3 miles in an hour. Try walking for those short trips instead of driving. Go walk around the mall or the grocery store with the old lady. It's easier to do if you give yourself a purpose. If I called...

It may not be good for beer anymore, but it can sit on the shelf with swizzle stix or pencils.

I recently moved to the Pacific Northwest from the Midwest, so I'm slowly (but surely) trying all the new brews I find at the grocery store. Tonight, it's Kona's Longboard Island lager. While I don't know what the style guidline is for 'island lager', this beer is exactly what I...

I do the glass-collection thing too, mostly shakers but whatever the brewery/bar sells. Most commoners aren't going to notice the difference between a pilsner served in a pilsner glass and one served in a regular pint glass. So I just let people pick their glass. The smart ones will pick a...

I use citrus-flavor hops in my Heffewiesen too. You get that orange slice flavor, without actually using an orange slice on the glass. Frankly, I don't know why more people don't brew it like this. It works great. You guys at least make starters... I usually take the lazy-man approach...
