More often than not, my beers get compared /likened to Fat Tire, especially pale ales, browns and IPAs. I will try to head this off by explaining a little bit of what the flavor profile is supposed to be like before I hand them the beer.

I brew a lot of BM's Cream of 3 Crops, which is the most popular amongst my guests. I don't call it a cream ale because would think it had some of cream in it.

Well, if you use 500g of dried extract, it'll increase the abv a little bit but you won't be able to tell the difference. If you're interested a higher abv, you might as well look into a regular recipe kit vs. a hopped kit like Coopers.

Although I've never brewed this one specifically, I ran the numbers and it looks like it should come in at around 4.1% which is on par for the style. Note that you're going to be using 1700g of the wheat extract +500g of the light LIQUID extract (afaik, Coopers doesn't make dry extract) + 300g...

i'm confused by this statement. why would a tap not get used? for a while? just kidding. it happens to me all the time. i want one.

Geez, I don't think I've brewed anywhere near 25 styles. 1. American Wheat (a). Cherry (b). Raspberry (c). Peach Ginger 2. American Pale Ale (I brew this most often) 3. American Brown 4. IPA 5. Porter (a). Regular Porter (b). Coconut Porter 6. Altbier 7. Blonde (a). Kolsch (b). Cream Ale...

tmoney answered the first 2 but this last question, I would say that it depends on what hops you're using, how much and how prominent you want the hop aroma to be. I've done it in as little a 5 days to leaving it in the keg until we've drank all the beer from the keg.

me neither

How old were these kids? I had no problem taking my son to restaurants until he turned 2 and we often go to places you mentioned. Up until then, he didn't mind the noise or anything that went on around him. When he turned 2 earlier this year, he got fussy and he couldn't sit still for more than...

looking for friends as well. I'm bcity.

I live near Palm Springs and the weather here can get into the 120's in the middle of summer. My house stays in the mid to upper 70's and I use the same method as Hellosluggo, but I don't use a shirt or a fan and I only use 6 bottles changed out twice a day (once before I leave for work and once...

I don't brew in my garage so none of neighbors know what my setup looks like. A few of them know that I brew and have seen the kegs. I bought my house at the top of the market and most of the ones that were here when I moved here have lost their homes so now I have new neighbors. Good bunch of...

I'm on version 2.0 of my keezer and it's nearly perfect for my needs/wants. The only thing I would change is to get a bigger freezer but I simply don't have room for that.

I got my 6-pack for $5.99 from a discount grocery store so I knew exactly what I was getting (or I had a suspicion that it wasn't going to be a great beer). I get the warning. But it's definitely not the worst tasting beer I've tasted. I would still classify it as an IPA.

I like to try out new stuff, so when I'm the only one drinking, I drink commercial stuff. Plus, I love sours and I haven't mustered up the courage to brew sours. All in all though, I'd say I'm about 90%.

Yikes. Am I the only Asian here?

here's a start: clicky

Growing up, we always had fake trees, so as soon as I was on my own, I started getting real trees. Three years ago, my wife talked me in to getting a fake tree and I'm actually enjoying it a whole more than a real tree. We might go back to getting real trees in a few years.
