Just looking to hear some of your thoughts on temperature control. I am not looking really at lagering techniques, per se. More, about your thoughts on fermenting. I am on my 6th batch and just keep it hidden in a dark closet. Probably not exactly the ideal temp for fermenting some beers (I...

My fermentation seems to be slowing down as well after a week. Its in the secondary (last night) and I haven't seen the lock bubble once. Didn't seem to be much krausen on top either. At what point should I decide whether to add more sugars?

Ummm... well, there goes my appetite. O, and El P, you getting ready for something good on your 500th post?

Hmmm... interesting. I know Sam Adams makes the strongest right now. I title that has flip-flopped between them and Dagfish Head two or three times. Is this guy a homebrewer?

Just what it sounds like, a cool website that offers an interesting perspective on standings. They use some rather complicated formulas to predict the probability of teams to win their division, win the wold card, or make the playoffs. It began with baseball, but they just added football...

I can't believe I am reading this post....

you see the new Bud Select commerical where they try to hijack the Sam Adams approach to showing their brewers and hops?

Soll es nicht sein "ich war Auslander". Dass ist richtige grammatik, nein?

Of all the homebrewers I have met, you seem to have the most methodical and precise preocess in place (from what I have gethered from your posts). Me? Well, I wouldn't call myself methodical, I like to, errrr, wing it.

I would imagine refrigetor temps are fine. Maybe not for 6 months... but, everytime I go to my local HBS their hops are stored in a regular refrigerator. Like most things, they can be stored fine at refrigerator temps, but will stay longer in the freezer.

Melbourne Australia, ehh? Been thinking of moving down there... there is a brewing program that I was interested in attending. But, that will have to wait for now.

I have actually been thinking of making a cider this fall. There is a nice apple orchard not far from my parent's place and we used to go there all the time as a kid. My parents still go several times during the autumn to get apples. My father loves to make dried apples, and my mom makes a...

Man, I went to brew with my budy and he was doing an IPA with about 5.5oz of hops. He didnt have anything to put them in. Needless to say, there was a lot of crap in the bottom of that beer. As for the clouds, no worry. I boil my hops in a bag, and still get some of that. It really does not...

Can't wait for that game. Guess I don't need to ask your thoguhts on it, but I really am interested to see how the OSU linebackers take on Young. O, and welcome to the boards.

My girlfriend just laughs when she comes to my apt and sees the stacks of boxes with bottles. Hell, if my dad's package store weren't 300 miles away, I would have a lot more. (plus she seems to make comments when I come online at night to check out this forum...:()

My Raspberry Chocolate porter came out amazing. Probably one of my best brews today. The raspberry flavoring became real tart which is in nice balance to the chocolate malty flavors of the porter.

Entschuldigung. Ich habe seit drei Jahre Deutsche nicht sprechen.

Wie viele Leute seutsche verstanden?

Not quite how I would have done it....but it depends on the beer you are trying to make. Generally I get my water to about 145 deg before putting the grains in. Then, I steep for about 45 mins at this same tmep - not boil. You want to remove it from the heat when you add the extract...

Found this recipe if anyone is interested:
