Oh. I was not worried about getting poisoned. A sealed keg, filled with fully carbed beer is just a big ole can of beer. It was still plenty fizzy and smelled fine. I just really did not need to see if it was really stale or not. I've drank plenty of bottled brews that had "aged" to questionable...

I had three kegs that were partially filled (Not that it matters but they were a 5% stouts, a 5% Blonde ale, and a 6% APA) They had been on gas for service when circumstances forced us to remove them from their home in the kegerator and into a back room in the shop. This room is neither heated...

I ONLY drink the beers that I brew . . . . Unless I screw up and run out, then I ONLY drink homebrew made by my friends . . . Unless they are home and won't open the door. In that case I ONLY drink the finest, freshest, top line craft beers . . . Unless I am not near a place that has those...

You could always brew a simple Bitter or Mild first, then dump your RIS directly on the yeast cake. I have never failed to get a very vigorous ferment this way. Admittedly most of my RIS experience has been with brews of 1.090 ish, and a finish in the mid to low 1.020's has been the rule for me...

I just walked to my kegerator - AND, I walked back!!!!!! I may do that several more times . . . otherwise known as REPS! Inevitably I will take a side jaunt, or as i like to call it "a kidney cleario" . . . Then back into rhythm. A bit later I may take a quick break for some upper body stuff -...

I don't think Ron has been on this forum much the past couple years. He is still active on Food of the World he might be able to answer any questions you might have there - or maybe he'll shoot back here for a bit! http://foodsoftheworld.activeboards.net/

That's kinda personal ain't it??

ALWAYS go to the grocery store hungry ALWAYS go internet shopping drunk It is the ONLY way to be absolutely sure you will get all the good stuff.

Think the name is fun - close your eyes and envision the graphic art possibilities for the cans!!!

I didn't really "add" him - but it did turn out a good Bitter, and I do have a lot of chipmunks around the yard . . . . How do ya add that as an adjunct on Brew Smith?

Well I see replies recommending you brew something else, and I see reasons why you should not do it, and I see a few negatives - All the normal stuff! How about a great big reason TO BUILD THIS BEER: Because you want to. There, that part of the discussion is closed, cause THAT is the only...

LOL - The silly things you all worry about - a little dog hair! HA! I posted on here once some time ago, that I often brew out on the front porch, and overhanging the porch near my boil pot is a large crab apple tree. I once walked away for a while while the boil was building, knowing full well...

In Michael Dawson's book Mashmaker he includes a recipe from an 1871 document that states the specs for an IPA for the colonies. Dawson suggested that if you were feeling adventurous and authentic double the amount of boil and dry hops and age it a year. The original Dawson version is 70+ IBU so...

I am an old guy here AND a gun manufacturer - And occasionally a candidate for at least ASSISTANT village idiot.

WELCOME! NW Mi eh? I stomp those same general grounds myself

Welcome!!! Plenty around here to learn.

It's threads like this that make me miss the wisdom of Bracconiere! Betchya he would have had a thought or two on the topic :ghostly: I can't say I care all that much about style guidelines, as I have zero interest in having my brews judged by arbitrary taste buds (Remember you do not know...

I have been looking around on and off for a clone of this little beer too. I was wondering if you ever ran onto anything? Recently, at a club meet I had the pleasure of trying a blond ale that was not intended to be a direct clone of No Yeah - but we all agreed the brewer came awful close...

Beer seeds - some really pale, some really dark, some in between. Single celled members of the fungus family. Pressed flower petals. Bee vomit. MMmmmm - tastiness will surely follow! I believe this box is intended to become an extra-stout, and a spiffy cream ale using honey instead of corn or...

Marginally relevant - but then again most things Tesla truck are:
