Sounds great man - One of the best excuses to drink a homebrew @ 7:00 in the morning lol

hey that's a good idea man - like your brewing log, only online and with some pizazz. I need to get my html skills together & do somethin' along those lines.

Pabst Blue Ribbon. Keystone - Light or Ice. Miller High Life. Michelob Ul.. nah, what am I talkin about lol? Bell's Oberon is a lil somethin I've been gettin into recently. But for my favorite all - time: Upland Wheat. It's from a little craft brewery in my town. Check out...

I'm thinkin, I've basically narrowed my options down to two paths: and they go alike this: 1) business school @ IU w microbiology minor - I think that I could kick some serious ass on the business side of the spectrum, and if I took one of the courses in Chicago or maybe even UC-davis and...

well, it's like this - I've been studying music, but I'm changing my major and I want to eventually build a craft brewery. I'm thinking business school with a minor in biology would be a good choice? Maybe I could take a semester off and do one of the brewing programs. Thanks for the input guys...

Well I've got a lot of syringes layin around the house - they're all pretty dirty tho :rolleyes: ... that Fermtech thief looks pimp, I'm gonna roll to my HBS & see what's the deal. lol thanks for helpin out guys!

HFS man those pots at Zepole are cheap cheap cheap.! I'm definitely hittin that up (thanks for the link!)

Thanks for the info! I'm holdin it down at 75 degrees right now but I'm about to move it into my basement, which is right at 60. I just used a wyeast liquid tube w/out a starter, and I pitched it at around 80 degrees. (I desperately need a wort chiller and I waited until 4 in the morning but...

#1: pay attention when brewing lol. I was breaking my new batch of wit up into two boils, because I have 2 small kettles but not a big one. So, I get a nice rolling boil and without thinking, I dump all of my DME and honey right into the pot. (I was supposed to add half of my ingredients.) I...

well I live in a college town, and it's probably the same in college towns all across the country - wait till school gets out and everyone moves, and mini fridges are guaranteed to pop up in dumpsters all across town. Just dive in!

welp, I'ma have to do the damn thing today then. Thanks! Oh, and on a somewhat related note, to sparge a grain bag should I just slowly pour some boiling water into it? Or does the water have to be 'sprinkled' into it somehow? holla back

So can I split my partial-mash recipe down the middle, spend all day brewing 2 batches, put 'em together, wait for them to cool then pitch the yeast? I'm tryin to go all grain but I need to wait for a new credit card to arrive so I can get a larger kettle :D

Oh f'sho! I'm at IU and I've been rollin to parties with a few homebrews (my first batch of IPA, decent but nothin' too special yet), and everyone's like 'this beer's the bomb!' I know drunk reviews aren't the most accurate, but it's a start lol :D

I was wondering - what do the brewmasters get degrees in? Chemistry? Biology? Or are there actual brewing schools out there? In short, how does one go about getting his foot in the door of the industry?

Thanks a million! that sounds just about perfect - I think I'll head to the farmer's market & get some fresh honey :D

So I've been buying a bunch of Grolsch 4-packs because of their cool self-capping bottles, but I was wondering - does anyone know if they will last for long periods of time? Or will the rubber wear down after a few batches? I'm feeling optimistic 'cause they're like 2 bucks each and I hope I'm...

Yo so I want to make some belgian whit, cause damn. It's the bomb. The problem is, I don't have a quality recipe for it. I'm goin for the coriander/orange peel vibe, so if anyone has a recipe that they enjoy, I'd really appreciate a reply. :cool:
