    Custom pint glasses?

    I had these made for my SWMBO/co-brewer's birthday. She's a huge Braves and Chipper Jones fan so we did a Chipper Jones tribute beer. Since she loves to *ahem* collect *ahem* pint glasses I had these made.

    Do You Cook With Your Homebrew???

    We use beer to make homemade BBQ sauce for wings and pulled pork, usually our Dark Ale. We also used beer to brine a chicken. For this we used our sweet potato beer.

    Official Broken Hydrometer Count

    742 Somehow I lost the cap to the sheath. I was walking across the kitchen from the beer cabinet to the sink to sanitize. My girlfriend said something from the other room. I quickly turned to hear what she was saying, but didn't realize I was holding the hydrometer almost parallel to the floor...

    Brewery names--what's your story?

    My girlfriend and I brew together, and a baseball theme was the one thing we could agree on. She also designed our labels. All of our brews have baseball themed names as well.

    Favorite Yeasts?

    I used the S-04 in a New England Cider and it came out excellent. It was dry (8.25%), but still retained enough flavor from the juice. If I had to pick one strain it would be Wyeast 1056. I've used it in an IPA and a stout, both came out great.

    Sanitizing tips

    I use the hose in my kitchen sink and am also lucky enough to have a movable shows head that works as well.

    Bottling question

    This might be a stupid question, but how do you load the bottles in the oven? I can imagine doing it myself and knocking them all over like bowling pins.

    First Lager Question

    Thanks for the advice everybody. I definitely have a better idea of what to do going forward for lagering in the future. Have any of you lagered in the bottle after conditioning?

    First Lager Question

    Today was day 3 and still nothing in the airlock. I aerated the wort with a wisk and added 1tbsp of yeast nutrient. The lager looked like this, but lightened up after aerating.

    First Lager Question

    Thanks for the feedback. I has just bought the yeast from my LHBS so it shouldn't be that old unless it sat there for a while. Not sure what the temperature was at pitching. I left the packets out for a few hours so they should've been okay. I'll definitely do a starter next time. I didn't...

    First Lager Question

    I have been brewing for a few months now. All my ales have come out great, so I decided to try my hand at lagers. I built a "Son of fermentation chamber" style chiller. I brewed a lager and a pilsner on Sunday and slowly have lowered the temperature in the chamber. This morning it was at the top...
