100% is pretty average. It seems some businesses have forgotten the goal is profit, not sales. But back on topic. If I had a LHBS I'd probably do most of my shopping with them. Between 10-20% probably is reasonable. Anymore though, local prices are pretty competitive with online stores.

When do you brew? Do you need extra time to do other things?

Hamburgers don't look great. Where did you get the meat?

How big of batches are you brewing? 5 gallons yields ~50. I have four kegs. All full is ~200. I like to have at least two kegs full plus something fermenting.

It's a Scottish. The ABV is too low to be a Scotch Ale.

I think most people get "green" flavors because of poor fermentation. Poor pitch rates, uncontrolled fermentation temps. It then takes time to age them out.

Must be Big Sky.

Watch out for dogs?

Took a nap. Kegged a brown. Now if I could get a 3 month vacation I might get something done.

Are you controlling fermentation temps? If the 200 billion isn't completely fresh you'll be starting with less. A starter would be a good idea. Are these your recipes? Recipe development is another place to look.

I like my freezer with temp controller. My only problem is I need a 2nd for lagers. :)

It will just age slower I think. I'm not sure of the science. I know St. Bernardus does their conditioning at cellar temps. I'm guessing because once fermentation is finished hotter temps just degrade the beer. Anyway, my aging consists of kegging and carbing then letting the beer sit at...

If anything 2 months is long. I would also try to store colder (40-50).

I rarely brew IPAs. My last brew was a brown.

Don't worry it gets better!

I buy 3 lb bags. Clip a corner just enough to pour. Then roll it up and close with a clothespin. Store it in a plastic container meant for dry goods. No problems.

Looks fine. Looks like krausen that hasn't dropped.

I mix it up a 1/2 gallon at a time. I do keep a spray bottle around which last months. It's easier for me to not have to store gallons. Anyway, the 32 oz bottle is going to last me a long time even mixing new batches most of the time.
