I've never smoked extract, but I know a guy who can get it real cheap...just sayin' Hops, on the other hand... : X

I'm gonna second GuldTuborg on the big beer thing, I've really been surprised at how many people like a nice crisp Tripel even if they don't think of themselves as "beer people", just because it's something they've probably never experienced before. Brew it now, brew it right, and let it age...

You're probably right...I made some changes and here is what I actually ended up purchasing, based on your advice and what LHBS had available 7.0 lbs LLME 0.5 lbs Special B 250L 0.5 lbs Domestic Chocolate 350L 0.25 lbs Light Roasted Barley 350L 0.25 lbs Belgian Special Coffee 175L 0.15 lbs...

I haven't yet made a porter and I have some Pacman on hand that I need to use up soon, so I've been planning my recipe out tonight and I wanted to get a little bit of feedback on it. 7.0 lbs light LME 0.5 lbs Chocolate Malt - British or Domestic, undecided (does it matter?) 0.5 lbs...

Tengger Cavalry - Blood Sacrifice Shaman Mongolian metal...I can't remember the last time I had my ass kicked like this!

Thank you all for the information. I am also kegging/force-carbing so the high flocculation is desirable. What I'm not sure of is how to estimate the density of the yeast slurry, and how much of it may or may not be yeast. My theory with pitch rates is "just make sure it's enough" and I have...

I harvested some Pacman yeast from a bottle of Rogue Shakespeare Stout, just dumped the dregs into a growler that had 1 cup DME and 4 cups water boiled etc. It grew up pretty nicely, I think, there was a nice yeasty layer on the bottom of the growler after a couple days at room temperature. I...

She beat me. I'm smitten.

AHHH yes. Just about to hop in the shower for the date. I'm really not worried about a damn thing. We're gonna play scrabble and she may not know what hit her! If I'm back here way too soon, then things didn't go well. Here's to seeing you all LATER!

"Jeg elsker beer." Do the rest in English, you're solid.

This thread is an odd mix of discouragement and encouragement. Now I'm not sure who to believe other than myself! I really do appreciate all input though, regardless of what side of the fence it falls on. I'm going to go pour some saison, to remind myself how AWESOME of a brewer I am. :mug:

Learning is free, so I have been devouring beer knowledge left and right. Ingredients aren't free, nor is equipment, so I'm really more limited by what I have than what I know. I have a scientific degree and I eat up science like nobody's business, and when it's about brewing it's even easier...

I have never tasted apfelwein before. If you could send me your recipe, a list of the equipment you used to make it, and your address, I will certainly consider purchasing some of your apfelwein for a very reasonable sum. IF you can give me OG and FG readings, as well as the type of apples...

There is a chance greater than zero that I will receive a request for an interview for an actual brewing position. I'd be kind of nervous for any interview, but considering brewing is my absolute passion, I'm a little more nervous than normal. Here's the thing...I've only brewed 25...

And I suppose the part that makes it a "drunken talent" is that I'm as engaging as a cardboard box under more regular circumstances...such results are very typical though, so I might have to say my drunken talent is endurance running. Okay like 3 or 4 miles, and I hate it the next day, but...

I'm a regular casanova when I'm drunk. Went to a wedding with my gf at the time, left with another girl's number...and my gf. That wasn't the last time, and now that the gf is ex-gf, I need to capitalize on this talent more!!
