Got big into craft brews a year ago...and recently my buddy and I were dropping over $100 on beer every other weekend (damn bombers and those little 4 packs are expensive!) So when I found out the neighbor brewed I started talking to him a bit. He invited me over to watch the process and sample...

That would be great! From what I can see, we have the following: jnr1005 10 lbs (I can add 5 more if needed) redskinfan 10 lbs funnycreature 4 lbs islandlizzard 10 lbs So we are up to 34 lbs spoken for...need 16 more to go! And from what I can see...

So maybe we can get a list going? Do I do that or do you stonebrewer? I would be game for 10-15 lbs depending on if we can get the interest to split it. Sounds like we are up to almost half a bag...anyone else want in on DME for starters?

Any chance some of the group is interested in splitting some light dme? I am getting into yeast slants = starters = dme. My local store sells it for $5/lb so I would like to cut the cost, but have no use for 50 lbs of the stuff! I'm not sure if there is even a good way to split dme up, but I...

So I want to start doing slants..and just made my first vials last night with the agar mix. This last weekend (3 days ago) I used two WL yeasts for my brews and noticed some yeast stayed in the vial...so I tossed the vials with lids on back in the fridge. Can I use this yeast to slant...

Glad to know...I haven't put the clove in yet and was going to soak in with the vanilla/vodka mix..so maybe I will put in 1 clove to keep it light.

Just started 2 weeks ago with a buddy... 5 g OktoberFAST 5 g Amber ale 5 g Bad Santa 5 g PumKing clone Now lets just hope this stuff turns out... And damn, looking at the above #'s we have already brewed 10% of our allotted yearly allowance by VA law. Wait! I have a roomate that...

Martial bliss....until she catches on, then your toast. Hahaha. No offense but why do men think us women are that dumb? I wish ya luck though :)

Made the recipe on page 58 of this thread yeasterday. Not sure what the hell I did...but my end OG was way high 1.104ish. I may have boiled just a little too much, but I still ended up with just over 5.25 gallons. The wort tastes amazing, but I am a little concerned with the high gravity and...

Can I get 5 lbs of CaraPils if available? Not sure how much "some" is... :)

I have 3 LHBS within 20 miles, but have only been to 2. One is only 4 miles away and another 20. I find myself going to the 20 mile one for grains and using the closer one for other items. My biggest pet peve about the closest one is the lack of info on the grains. There are no prices...

OktoberFAST, a red ale, and Bad Santa. And after work today (yes, working on a Sunday...damn work for taking up my brew time but yeah OT!..) we will be doing a Pumking clone.

I read a post a while back about the CO2 tank being what made the guys beer taste off (something about the gas or the tank had a bad smell in it.) Did you replace or refill your tank recently and maybe the hoppy beers just hide the taste?

4 lbs of dried cherries (1 lb for my winter ale) and a mason jar attachment for my food saver to help store small amounts of grain!

Thank you! I would love to get 2 lbs of C120 if possible. I will be glad to take the 12.5lbs of C60... and I'm a she :D Is the C40 12.5 lbs? If so, add me to the list and I will take it just to have on hand. Just got started so I'm stocking up on a few things I see in a lot of...

I will take: (1) sack Weyermann Pilsner (1) sack Rahr 2 row pale malt *Is there any chance we might get 3 more people for a split on another bag of C60 again? I would love some of this, but not in a huge amount. * If you can find the buyers to split 5-7 ways like mentioned above, I...

Project Engineer for a Construction Managment Company. Wish I was a chemist...or had taken more science classes in college, would have come in handy with all this brewing :)

Cucumber Hibiscus by Magic Hat....sounded unique....tasted horrid.

I just started brewing so I don't have this issue yet, but I can understand the concept. I get the same feeling when I spend a lot of money on craft beer and a group of friends comes over and starts drinking it like its bud lite... On the other hand I look forward to sharing my creations when...

Going to brew a pumpkin and something for christmas this weekend...still figuring out the christmas one and then I need to check LHBS to see if they have everything.
