Mhmm. It's supposed to be a precursor to DMS issues, but I've had to boil with the lid on more than once during windy season and I've never had any issues with off-flavors.

Just wanted to give an update on what my label looks like now. What do you guys think?

It's hot as hell here, so I'll only do it if I have the space. My fridge only holds two fermentation vessels, and if I get impatient, I don't cold crash. Adding gelatin and placing the bottles in the fridge seems to work fine.

A bottle of Heineken that had been seemingly opened, pissed into by an asparagus-swallowing wallaby, then brought as close to sun as possible without it exploding.

I bought Miller for a buddy's wife one time and they were promoting it at the liquor store. With every 12 pack purchase, you were given a t-shirt. So, there I was, paying for Miller, with a "Great Pilsner Taste -- Triple Hops Brewed" T-shirt tucked under my arm. The cashier that I regularly have...

I picked up a case of this pretty cheaply. I'm going to drink one every 3-6 months.

From what I understand, nothing that can live in homebrew's Ph can kill you, so if it tastes good, drink it! I wish I could make anything close to La Folie in 5 weeks! :mug: I'm gearing up for a La Folie clone that will take an entire year!

If you followed all cleaning and sanitizing procedures, then it may just be green. If you'd like to check possible reasons for off-flavors, you can visit: http://www.howtobrew.com/section4/chapter21-2.html The "yeasty and bitter" is less-than-specific, but I think I know what you mean. Many...

Love this beer. I've got a bottle of it that I've been waiting to drink. Also, a bottle from last year that I want to try. I wonder how it has changed in a year.

Well, it doesn't bark constantly, it only barks when it's in front of the computer. I'm not sure what it is about it. She doesn't mind the television. I think it may have something to do with the fact that loud music is often blasting from my laptop. Although she seems to bark at it even if its...

This is pretty close to a Thermapen, from what I've heard, and it's pretty cheap. I'm sure the Thermapen takes much faster readings, but the CDN is a good starting point...

Yeah! I've made this beer a couple of times and the sweet spot is about 23-38 days. After that, the beer still tastes great, but the Citra tends to fade and it starts tasting malty, nutty, and piney.

My house pale ale. Sonambulo. Citra/Simcoe hops. It's a little undercarbonated. I wanted to see how it was coming along at 10 days in the bottle. :3 Oh, and it's delicious. Very.

Couldn't get her to sit still. She's not a fan of the computer. She barks at it constantly. I had to get her while she was growling at the screen.

That's an awesome glass. Great looking beers, too!

I can usually get 4 gallons of medium-gravity beer in a 5 gallon Lowe's bucket with no problems.

BIAB is really easy. All you really need to worry about is temperature control, which can make a big difference when mashing. When friends ask me about switching to All-Grain with the least equipment, I say just buy a good thermometer. I made two extract batches then switched to BIAB partial...

Dark Rye IPA

Bourbon County Rare. It was $55 the first time I had it, something like $200 off eBay, the second.

Damn. That sucks. I tried priming with Lactose on my first batch. I didn't know any better.
