Thanks for the link. I have been looking for some good descriptions of different malts. I have some books, but nothing with to much detail. Am I to understand that the prefix "cara" is short for caramel? Would this mean that this is a style of malting barley? Is the difference between these two...

Helles is a german word for light. It is a style of lager that is similar to a pilsner. Check out this description: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/style/21/

Yea, I ahve been dumping them too. But, it seems like there ought to be something cool to make with them. Perhaps bread?

What do you guys do with your spent grains? I always have put them aside and just think to myself that I could do something productive with them. I know most commercial breweries send their grains to be used as cattle feed. But, what do you guys do? Any recipes for any sorts of food to make...

I have not yet ventured into AG yet, and am only brewing with extract. However, I downloaded Promash just because its a great program. Lots of fun to work with and play around with. I have been putting together all sorts of recipes, and some AG that I want to do (eventually). The real reason...

If anyone else is interested, I have gotten confirmation from Sam Calagione that they are indeed opening up in a couple weeks. I am so damn excited. Not that I need to, but I am thinking of getting a PT job there just for the fun and love of their beer.

Can someone either explain the difference between these two types of malts, or point me towards a resource that may? My local homebrew shop was out of Munich malt... just wondering what the difference is and if these are totally different or not. Thanks.

Everytime I open a bottle of my own brew it is a dream come true. Now, the day that I pour that beer our of a tap behind my bar in my restaurant, that will just be damn friggin cool!

Ahh, back to the discussion. Speaking of brewing and Katrina - I read a post on BA about a brewpub owner who weathered the storm in his pub, and is serving free beer and allowing his place to be used as a shelter.

Crap, no one is boiling anything here? I am taking advice from a bunch of fakers! damn, i knew something went wrong with my last brew

$5.87 in GA. Prices are still going to be going up. Check out this link though, this worries me. At Least Ten U.S. Airports Face Closure Due to Jet Fuel Shortages...

That is good to know! Thanks...

http://gaswatch.energy.gov Check this out. Stations and companies that are absurd in their prices can be reported. I guess the Energy Dept is going after places that are charging extreme amounts. I heard there was a place in GA selling for near $6!

Yea, for regular gas at a no name station. The premium there was 4.09. I filled up a couple weeks ago for 2.79, and I had paid a little more than some other places, so I had resigned myself to paying 2.85 or so. And then I start driving and start paying attention to the prices and was astonished...

GAH! $3.79 this morning!!! And that was at the cheap station!!!

I found this post on BeerAdvocate.com I cannot seem to find any other reference to this. Anyone know if this is true! That would just be awesome!!

Ahh, I remember last time I fell into that trap. Agreed. Besides, it is not a point I would feel strongly enough to engage into a debate. Your self restraint is well noted, however.

Will we all finally realize that we should take the damn stuff from our own country. Drilling in Alaska will not mess up the beutiful forests, and it will not only give us more oil, but force the prices in the MidEast down.

Contrary to popular belief, removing beer from a cooler to store at room temp will not have any effect on the beer. (this is of course assuming you don't leave it in your trunk for a week in sweltering heat. ::shudder:: I still have that tast in my mouth)

You just store it in a refrigerator? About how long will it last?
