if its really that smooth, you dont want a full oz at 60min. Just ditch it altogether and get your IBUs from late boil additions Also, a 40min boil is entirely pointless. you wont taste any of the hops you add there, but at the same time, wont get as much bitterness as a bittering addition at...

The trick to theme parks is to find a friend with a broken leg, or even an old air-cast. Then you can go up the exit ramps and get right on every ride

pitched my F1 yeast thing morning. I'm not doing a split batch or anything between it and Conan, the F1/C4 hybrid, or some other yeast since I don't have the capacity for 10gal. But it is a staple recipe I've done a number of times with little changes. I'm planning on using the F1/C4 in...

dry hop right before you keg bottle it. defintiely to not dry hop during the whole lagering phase

What style is it? Wild infections are usually souring bacteria, certain styles of beer lend themselves to sours much more than others That being said, I've salvaged a couple by adding additional souring microbes to weird beers I had going. Though granted, I wasn't 100% certain it got infected...

^ too late. I told him I'd give him 5 more bucks than that other loser

looks like you already convinced yourself. with pellets you get: - better storage / generally fresher when you brew with them - less space - more varieties (very hard to get imported leaf hops) - less wort loss - better utilization esp in dry hop

new study: scientists prove positive correlation between having cancer and getting chemotherapy

guess i got cancer then, as well as man ****s from drinking IPAs all day

There's also the option of collaborating with a local brewery. Anything you make under their roof they could distribute. I dont think you can get a share of profits, that part is a bit more hairy. But even if you just lugged all your equipment and ingredients there and brewed it with their help...

I wouldnt give it a second thought unless your LHBS has a reputation for leaving stale stuff on the shelves I just received some yeast from Finland and it took 2 weeks to arrive, during all of which, it was 90-100 degrees here in KY. Just make a starter, mine took a bit to get rolling (it was...

WLP565 and WLP566 are reported to be isolated from Dupont. They definitely have a myriad of stuff in their house culture but it sounds like 565 is the primary strain

Sleeping. Gawd. Norwegians, amirite???

literally any DME will work. It just depends on how you feel about some residual wort/beer from it going into your beer. Do you want a few mL of dark beer being blended into your golden ale when you pitch the yeast? I go for the lightest I can find at the store. Pilsner/extra light if I have a...

It always is weird to me when I read "news" that is all about something I became familiar with literally years ago. The newest issue of Brew Your Own magazine had a "new" kind of IPA on the cover. I picked one up thinking "oh great, what now?" Turns out they just wrote some piece on what new...

Got any more hops? When I do my biggest IPAs, I skip bittering all together. I pick up some IBUs from a late boil addition, and the rest from a flameout whirlpool

it definitely tells a story of what your predictive text dictionary is like Chic, Tamara expects, face to face, wee, aaaaa,

commercial sour blends are notorious for not working very fast, or sometimes barely at all. I always recommend pitching some dregs from some of your favorite sours to both speed it up and give it greater depth of character

I actually like it better than 3944 for wits. Its super fruity but smells like a dirty sock of fermented farts when it get going for the first few days. Dont be alarmed by how bad it smells. None of that will be in the final beers smell or taste

I always work out before or after lunch. Helps get the blood pumping again so I'm not drooling on my desk at 2pm like most of my coworkers
