I unfortunately can't remember for the life of me. Something tells me it was a Dogfish Head 60 Minute. My old boss who got me into craft beer said it might have been Sierra Nevada or something from Brooklyn. My ex-girlfriend seems to think it might have been Dogfish Head or Delirium. I guess...

Cool. Yeah, I usually take notes as I go along otherwise I forget a lot of things. On my most recent brew this past Saturday, I waited until the end to record everything but got nowhere. Being that I've only been brewing extract it isn't as big of a deal but still annoying. I was just curious to...

I'm curious to know how you all take notes when brewing. Do you normally write things down as you go about the process or do you do your brewing and then record everything that happened at the end?

You are correct. I did leave off licorice accidentally because I believe the tasting sheet I have lists star anise and licorice together since they are similar in flavor.

I'm glad someone feels my pain! I do have a feeling you're right though. I feel like there is no escape from the contracting world. Everyone I know who's in the business usually doesn't leave. If they leave their company, it's just to go to a different contractor. I do know I enjoy...

I enjoy playing bass guitar and I've been big into poker ever since I worked media relations for the World Series of Poker one summer

Brewing a California steam beer right now but decided to amp it up...originally had: 6 LBS Gold LME 8 oz Carapils 8 oz Caramel 40L 1 oz Northern Brewer (bittering...60 min) 1 oz Cascade (aroma...2 min) Decided to add: 2 lbs honey (30 mins) 1 oz Cascade (30 mins) Potentially: Apricot in...

You could always use Yelp.com when you travel. You can just search the term craft beer and the location you are in and it should come up with a list of restaurants, bars, and other places that serve craft beer. You'll also be able to see reviews of the places so you know what to expect and can...

Yeah, that's what I plan to do. I'll continue working and saving and if in a few years I'm still in the same job, that's when I'll move on. I mean, I'll continue looking for better positions now but if nothing comes about, at least I'll have saved and paid off some more debt. In a very ironic...

I'm a rare breed in that I really didn't party in college and I didn't pick a college because of its name but I did happen to pick a private one and that's my problem. I'm definitely lucky enough to be able to afford all of my student loan payments and other expenses but am left with very little...

That was/is my main reason for considering quitting. Not only do I think it will continue to eat away at me but whatever I skills I need to do what I want to do will be greatly diminished if I'm not working in my chosen industry. The friends part of this all really isn't as bad as I may have...

I really love the name of the beer! I can't wait to try this...it will be a great collaboration beer!

I honestly wish I could just do this. I'd love to live in a bunch of cities...never have to stay more than a year or two. When my student loan payments alone are nearly $1,000 a month I just can't afford to. I'm actually from Long Island and went up to the Catskills once (and have driven...

Wow, thank you ALL for the support! It DEFINITELY lifted my spirits! :mug: Haha will do! I should hopefully be in a much better place as long as I'm continually proactive and positive about the process! I won't hold it against anyone if I'm still in the same place, though ;) Nice to meet...

The local homebrew club and my 3 bandmates have been my saving grace friendwise but I definitely don't hang out with enough homebrewers! I gotta get on that! Thanks for the words and advice, everyone. It definitely does mean a lot. I know I can't quit and I hate that I probably sound...

Hahaha while it does suck not having friends in the area, I do at least have the local homebrew club once a month so that part is the least of my worries :cross:

Yeah, the loans are probably the most difficult part of the situation as they really hold me back. I really have no choice but to stay so I can pay for them. Too bad college degrees weren't like consumer commodities! I'd definitely return mine! Being in DC has totally made me realize that...

So, what’s a guy to do when he hates his job, gets absolutely nothing out of it, is living in an area that is quite expensive, has little to no friends in the area but gets paid enough to afford his nearly $75K student loans? That’s my current situation! I moved to DC about a year ago to be...

It's sort of weird. I do dream of owning my own brewpub (or chains if it became popular enough) but wouldn't actually want to do the brewing. I'd more or less like to be the one who thinks of the ideas but actually has someone else brew. I'd want to do more of the general oversight of the whole...
