<more devils advocate> hmmm - interesting. So, what if you think of it as two different courses entirely. They are taking a science, to fulfill their Gen-Eds. That science just so happens to be physics. Also what we have to take - but what we have to take is labelled "Physics for Engineering...

Hahahahaha :) <devils advocate> We have this thing about breadth of education in American schools - and it's actually useful. Look at the number of technical innovations that have come out of our top institutions when compared with the number of similar innovations that have come from...

LOL. That might be the direction this is headed. Although honestly his knowledge of beer styles and appropriate tastes and appearances is much more advanced than mine, and it certainly helps to know what you are shooting for. I'm learning though, and trying to research as thoroughly as...

I knowww, I'm totally behind. It's been the end of semester finals craze this last few weeks, and my brew buddy has been out of town. But we have another date planned. Trying to decide exactly how we want to do it. Thinking of doing a honey wheat, and then separating it out into a few different...

haha, ok, I'm down... Give our beer a few more weeks to condition, it's only been in the bottle 1.5 weeks now, then we can arrange it :p by the way, I'm trying to keep myself from drinking the beer before it's at it's prime, so I'm sitting on the couch researching physics and drinking...

ok, we will certainly try that next time then! Thanks for all the advice guys. When we have a descent brew made we'll have to meet up with all y'all san diegans and get some real opinions on it... we're like proud parents right now :)

Love it!!! I had it at stone the other night, and I reallllllly wanted to take a growler home, but the store was closed by the time we finished with dinner and I thought of it... It's like drinking an herb garden. LOL :) But honestly, along with Ballast Point's Sculpin IPA, it's got to be...

hmm, that sounds like a good idea... should I be worried about making the temperature too cold? It's really only a slight after taste, and I don't want to lower the efficiency of our yeasties!! (:p) I think we're going to try a bunch of different small batches next to sample, and try some 1...

Actually, no - our final gravity was about 1.15 or 1.14 the sweetish after taste is the bananey - the sweetness other than that is only a litttlllee bit more than what would be expected for an amber. I'm thinking of buying one of those blanket thingies to help regulate temperature for the...

Well, we tried our beer last night, and, well, it tastes like beer!! It's got good color, clarity and carbonation, - a little bit on the hoppy side for an Amber, which I think is good. It does have a little bit of a sweetish after taste that's on the banana-ey side that's not so pleasant - from...

I'm trying this one next! :D

I don't know whether this is the case still or not, and someone that actually lives in Canada now can chime in, but my family is in Canada, and I've spent a few summers there - last time I tried to open a bank account and get a debit/credit card, they didn't have such a thing. Literally, their...

plastic leaching into the beer... anyway, we'll stick with glass carboys :)... they just look awesome too!!!

Yah I've been thinking of buying a spare fridge for brewing. If we really clean out the closet we are using right now it would probly fit. Money is kinda tight right now, u know, college student budget, so probably won't by the equipment for force carbonation right away, but I'm sure we'll...

Interesting, thanks for the warning! We'll be careful. Maybe we'll go with different bottles, since we haven't bought them yet. :D

Haha, Murphies law of home brewing?? We already had boilovers, and bubbling over! We are using a 7 gallon glass carboy as a primary, then a plastic bucket for bottling. We're about a week into primary right now. I think we will skip secondary, and just go straight to bottling, in a few...

I always forget there are alternate interpretations for that... since I use it for pretty much everything! for exp. recently, at the bank, they asked me to choose an online ID for my online banking. I said "swinginchandra". The guy setting up my account gave me this look like I was a lepper...

I live on the PB side of La Jolla! Go to Mesa College... ------- (by the way, my username refers to swing dancing... just thought I'd point that out to start off with... y'know :D ) ------ edited to say: I checked out, and registered for, your home brew club! Cool!

Hey Everybody! I've so enjoyed reading these forums for the past few days!! Last sunday I started my first home brewed beer, a German Amber Ale! Thanks to searching HBT, we were able to rig a blow off tube for the carboy when it started foaming rather enthusiastically out of the airlock...
