I love them!

Update: yeast settled to the bottom of the glass. Taste has improved. Woot.

So I just went to pour one of my brews and due to lack of paying attention, I ended up with a ton of head. So naturally, when my awful pour started to settle, I poured some more in. I go to take a taste and cringed a bit because of the bitterness. I then realized that by pouring several...

Thanks! The font is called "The Cowboy Font". Below is a link. http://www.typenow.net/files/T/the_cowboy_font.zip

Due to lack of time, I used a kit again for this one. Here's what the recipe is. Should put you somewhere between 3.4 and 3.6 ABV. 3.3lbs Plain Light LME 2lbs Plain Light DME 12oz Crystal 60L 1oz Black Patent 1oz Willamette (bittering) 1oz Willamette (finishing) 1 Packet Standard dry...

Thanks! I love the ol' geetar... :rockin:

Well, I do play guitar but only for fun. I'm just a big fan of music, and figured it would be an appropriate theme to incorporate into my labels. Thanks for the kind words! P.S. Just brewed my Red ale! :ban:

I definitely would've been too scared to try a lager for my first. I just brewed my first as well, so unfortunately I dont have much insight. I'm hoping someone comes along and tells you that if you let it sit for a few more weeks it'll be delicious : ) Good luck!

The real deal at Homegrown is the half-priced lunch if you sit @ the bar. $3-4 for a sandwich there is a steal. Also going after 9pm most weeknights is awesome for $2 drafts. Any draft beer (Dogfish, Guiness, Blue Moon, etc) $2. I spent way too much time there last week haha. Not sure if...

Forgive my newbie question, but if a recipe calls for DME, can one easily sub LME? Also, regarding the wheat malt extract, what is considered light? I browsed several online retailers, and i'm having a hard time distinguishing which wheat extracts are light or not. Is it the % of wheat vs...

Yeah I'm going to pick up some label paper soon. I agree with the simple labels. I feel like I'm going to have a seizure when I look at Flying Dog labels, for example

Hey there, So I've had some time to waste this week and my LHBS is only open a few days, so I have planned my next few brews and made some labels for them... basically modified versions of my first label. Below are all of them so far. Obviously ABV and tasting descriptions will be changed...

Haha I was very tempted.

Thanks for the pointers guys. I did actually go pick up a handful of beers I've never had (Rogue Chocolate Stout, Dogfish Midas Touch, few others) to keep me busy. And I'm pretty sure I've decided on an Irish Red for my next batch. Of course, my local store is only open Thurs-Sat. so I've...

I was afraid I'd get yelled at for my impatience. Glad to know I'm somewhat normal haha.

hahah I appreciate your concern. I think I gave it a day or so after the airlock stopped bubbling before I bottled. Again, I know it was rushed, but I was a bit anxious. I am brewing in Delaware. Temperature upstairs in the house (where the beer is) is in the high 60s. No bottle bombs or...

Hey guys and gals, So, I'll be the first to admit that I am an impatient person when it comes to stuff like this (wrong hobby, I know), but I brewed my first batch last week and HAD to try it. Fermentation finished within 4 days, and I bottled it shortly after. It's been bottled for about 5...

Yeah, that "t" and the capital "A" annoyed me too, but I dig the font. I'll play around some more in photoshop when I get a chance.

Thank you all for your comments! I've quickly become obsessed with this forum... it's almost as addictive as this hobby...
