So, I set about to make another batch of Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde in anticipation of the upcoming Summer months. I made 2 major errors. 1stly and foremostly I bought Argentine Cascade hops instead of US Cascade hops. I did not know these things existed. Luckily I noticed the packaging...

What do you mean, "add"?:confused:

Someone on here just poured spent wet grains on a cookie sheet, cut them with the mouth of a glass and baked at 350F for a few minutes to make dog biscuits. He said the dogs loved them. I'd say something similar could be accomplished for the felines. No idea what thread that was in, heck, may...

Better bottles are BETTER because they don't allow in oxygen which ruins your beer. But, that is just my understanding. To answer the question, NO, I haven't tried them, I was told not to.

Yeah, it looks like a boxing glove on the left side of the picture. The imagination runs wild with thoughts of what takes place in this room. Trampoline beer pong and the loser gets karate punched by Schumed's daughter.

Is that Karate Kid standing in the background? :)

To make doubly sure that it doesn't resemble real bacon in any fashion whatsoever.

Yes, very profound. It will take a great deal of reflection and introspection before I feel comfortable supplying a cogent response.

Brewer's yeast is included in cat and dog foods because it is a natural pest (flea and tick) repellent once it is metabolized in their bloodstream.

This is because pigs eat most anything. One should avoid using the feces of an animal that has been eating non-vegetable matter (aka meat, fat, lard, drippings, eggs, etc). This type of manure can be used once properly conditioned but it is inviting disaster. Stick with the excrement from grain...

Faulty Imbecile Logic

Different sized containers absolutely carbonate and condition on different schedules. That being said, my experience is this schedule also affects the overall nature of the conditioning. That is to say, a beer conditioned in a 12oz bottle will never come out identical in flavor/body/etc as the...

Wow, GD and Avery are both in Colorado so I can't imagine how it gets to the East coast but not the West. Founders is in Michigan so that is a bit more understandable.

Thanks to the OP I LOL'd and coworkers wanted to know what was so funny. I have to say I've never had it that rough and I wish you well in your future endeavors. I have had many a complex hobby prior to getting into brewing and I think a good deal of the traits cultivated in those hobbies...

There is conflicting evidence that suggests squeezing can introduce unwanted tannins. The same evidence suggests that there are no fermentable sugars to be derived from steeping specialty grains. That said, I squeeze mine well with no noticeably bad effects.

Depends, how long is a string? Seriously, take your spigot with you the location you are going to get the elbow and check for fit before purchasing. 3/4" was the correct fit for my spigot but we very well may have different spigots.

I am going to SD in a couple of weeks and I am going to try this Pliny. Based on the hype I should leave the bar with a sticky stain in my lap. Based on this thread I may just leave with salty tracks under my eyes. I love the Maharaja as well as Avery's Dugana. I'm also a rabid fan of Founder's...

Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde is an awesome light beer that can be worked into fairly low calories and still maintain good flavor. Read the whole thread to find different recipes and work out your own version in some brewing software...

Depending on your source for H2O2 you get different additives for stabilization. Many of these stabilizers are metals that bio accumulate. Have fun drinking that.

I use a pvc elbow as well and I can't imagine anything working better. Disassembly and cleaning are a snap. I did have to cut the elbow to match the height required by the pre-drilled hole in my bucket. It works so well that there is literally no moving liquid left once done, just whatever trub...
