I have: Cali Ale I and V Irish Ale Hefe From bottles: Bell's Pacman I keep a slurry in a pint bottle in the fridge, so trades maybe needs to be a local swap.

You have a tough battle ahead as a write in candidate, but it can be done. If you Can still get on the ballot as a 3rd parry do it absolutely. You need PEOPLE any friends that will help and your district brew clubs, bars, and liquor stores would be a good source of volunteers...

I don't know if that's enough time to dry by Sunday. I will try though

Just because you don't like it does mean it is low quality beer. Take your favorite homebrew, and I challenge you to make two separate batches with 2 requirements 1) they have to taste EXACTLY the same, 2) you can't mix any parr of one batch with the other, unless your harvesting yeast. Now...

37, started brewing at 19 for 3 years, stopped for 4, brewed for 4, stopped for 3 and been going somewhat steady for 5 years now. So 12 years experience.

I need some spent grains. I play Olde Tyme baseball and use the grains to fill the bases. Our game just turned into 3 so we need some more bags. I you put em in a trash bag or bucket, something to keep em cleanish and free from bugs. PM me and I'll come pick em up. CHEERS!

Call a welding supply, they should have a ton of bottles. Not surenif it's a rental, exchangemlike the Blue Rhino propane tanks.

Alright, I stand corrected, I meant Bock :p

Let me know if nothing happens

Lookingto continue my brew tour of classic styles. I never have had a Boch, does Amberbock count? Hahahaha, so would like to pick up a six pack of someone's Boch so I know what I am l shooting for. Who makes a true to style Boch that I could use as a sample?

Never underestimate your ability to impact change in yourself; stop over-estimating your ability to change others. If your friend took up knitting and REALLY enjoyed, chances are, you probably wouldn't be interested in trying it, let alone talking about it. That doesn't mean he would enjoy...

Thank you for this recipe BierMuncher!!! I had a blast learning about hot break from this recipe :), and cracked the first two bottles this weekend, SWMBO promptly put down 3 and was Father's Day was a real treat ;)

I found, very quickly, that macro-beer-onomics :) is similar to micro. Where Yooper is talking about IBU/SG ratios, and the balance between flavors and tastes in a single beer. I found the same applied to my beer cellar rather quickly. After about 2-3 years into brewing, I had 10-12 cases of...

Your .007 difference could even be a temperature difference. You pointed out the issue you had, keep a note of it and mash in at target temp next time, see what happens. Pretty sure your beer will be just fine though. I agree with leaving it alone and proceeding as is. CHEERS!

That is why he said microbrew :cross: start planning your next brew. Plant some hops. Make a kegerator or keezer. Any of those will get your mind off your fermentor. Forget about it for 6 weeks.

Can I be an All Hops brewer then?

Don't confuse airlock activity with fermentation activity. The only way to know for sure is a hydrometer reading. Stirring up my just be releasing CO2 that dissolved in the wort during fermentation, or a myriad of other reasons. Be sure to get gravity readings. CHEERS!

Since it is a hobby, don't forget to subtract out your hobby costs, the money you would be spending regardless of whether you were brewing or not. On the the flip side I highly recommend tracking expenses, we track brewery efficiency, financial efficiency is also a good indicator of good or...

My experience with a gushing situation like yours, reinforcing what Homer said, is poorly mixed priming sugar. NOT to try to discredit Revvy, as his avatar shows, he the Jedi-master to my padwan. So do not hesitate to answer his questions as completely as possible. My experience: gushers do...
