    Free Online Beer Chemistry Course

    I believe so. The "Janux" platform is being touted on campus as OU has never taught an online course through this platform. I've taken a couple courses online. Some use actual video lectures and handouts while others just use a Flash-driven slideshow and interactive menus to teach.

    Free Online Beer Chemistry Course

    I may try to keep up with this course. I'm actually AT OU right now, but I don't have the chem prereqs mentioned.

    Autumn Seasonal Beer Imperial Pumpkin Pie Ale

    I fermented in my apartment's guest (clean) bathroom. It was around 66-68 ambient air temp at all times. Turned out great.

    Winter Seasonal Beer Holly (Christmas Ale)

    Bottled today after a shade over 3 weeks in primary. FG came in at 1.012 giving me around 8.3% ABV. WLP002 was a beast. The beer was very clear during siphoning. I scaled back slightly on the ginger, it was a bit overpowering in the sample I tried. I think it was mentioned previously in this...

    What are you drinking now?

    Finally found Pumpking. Didn't think I'd be able to find it. Even though I overpaid for it, it was as good as the hype made me believe.

    Autumn Seasonal Beer Imperial Pumpkin Pie Ale

    Cracked a bottle at the 2 week mark today as well. Carbonation is perfect. Still a bit spice-forward, but a great Fall brew. Everyone who tried it was very impressed. Formed a great, tight, foamy head, dissipated pretty quickly but left a great pumpkin pie aroma. I'm going to leave the rest...

    Oklahoma Only Brewers Group on the HBT!!!

    Anyone else entering FOAM Cup this year? I have a Christmas Ale I'd like to submit, but seeing as I've only been doing this for a very short amount of time, I'd like to hear some feedback from any other OK brewers who have entered competitions. More than anything, I just want the feedback...

    Autumn Seasonal Beer Imperial Pumpkin Pie Ale

    Opened a bottle only a week out from bottling because, why not? Beer still needs to mellow but it is turning out great. No booze burn or alcohol nose, but distinct pumpkin pie and spice. I could knock back a few of these pretty easily. :drunk: Can't wait to try this again in a couple weeks.

    What are you drinking now?

    Oh, I know! I wanted to start sweet and my availability is a bit limited as I live in the middle of a state with very restrictive alcohol laws. I'll keep my eyes out for your suggestions!:mug:

    What are you drinking now?

    Lindeman's Faro Lambic. Seeing if I like sours. Starting with lambics, which is turning out to be way too sweet for me. Guess I'll try the Smoke Stack Saison Brett soon.

    What are you drinking now?

    Rogue Northwestern Ale with a great homemade meal. Not sure why, but I always come back to this particular beer when I know I want a really solid red ale.

    Winter Seasonal Beer Holly (Christmas Ale)

    Great. Wasn't sure if sitting on that 002 yeast cake would impart off flavors after sitting on it well after it was fully fermented. Sample I took yesterday looked like it had flocculated out really well. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, 002 is a really a great yeast to use with...

    Are y'all racking to a secondary, or just leaving it in the primary?

    I just started homebrewing again recently in the Moore area. Just discovered Learn to Brew a couple weeks ago. Would be nice if some other OKC homebrewer could give some feedback on my brews.

    Brewing big beers via BIAB...

    I just finished a 1.075 holiday red ale BIAB pretty easily. I had a grain bill in excess of ~16 lbs (added an extra lb of 2-row) and did a full-volume, no sparge, mash. I achieved around 78-79% efficiency. Not sure I'm one to give advice because this is only my second all-grain batch, but as...

    Followed tutorial to a point for a Christmas Red Ale. Ended up with 79.X% efficiency. Really impressed.

    Winter Seasonal Beer Holly (Christmas Ale)

    Brewed this today. This was my first attempt at a no-sparge BIAB and only my second all-grain attempt. Way easier than my first attempt. I had about .5 inches of room during mash, which help keep temp steady during the entire mash. I didn't lose a single degree, which impressed the hell out of...

    Winter Seasonal Beer Holly (Christmas Ale)

    After reading every page of this thread, I decided to make this my holiday beer for 2013. Picked up grains/ hops for this today. I'll be doing a full-volume BIAB for this beer on Sunday. I had the grains milled twice and put on another pound of 2 Row to help efficiency. I went ahead and got...
