I would conveniently "forget" to bring any homebrew to this shindig. Unless there is someone there that you know will appreciate it, i wouldn't waste a good beer on a party like that. Unless you want to bring some just for yourself. folks would probably approach you and ask what you're drinking...

yes, i just found these today and downloaded a bunch. I have an hour commute each way. Brewcasts are a life/sanity saver!

+1 I buy my equipment from them as well as some of their AG recipe kits. The Belgian Tripel (with 17 lbs. of 2 row!) is delicious as well as their Hop Head DIPA recipe. I'm bottling their Bigfoot clone this weekend. They just rock. I can order on Monday and have my ingredients in-hand by...

I've been super impressed by Victory. They have a great lineup of big beers and the prices are GREAT. I really love delicious inexpensive beer. Victory rocks!

But, i'm not making Coors Light Ice. Just good old AMERICAN FROST-BREWED KEWRS LIGHT (clone).

Wow! I hope he didn't have to swim out to that iceberg to get that frost! A lot more than his label would be turning blue from that trek! I was just going to harvest some of the frost that flies off that mysterious silver train that goes through my town sometimes. It's so strange, after it...

OK, i am in the midst of making a Coors Light clone. And I really want to get that frost-brewed TASTE. I wanna get this puppy right - I need a beer that is both light AND refreshing. So, I thought about adding the frost to the boil - maybe at flameout so it could help chill the wort...

Just had Anchor's Old Foghorn - quite delicious - put a few aside for aging. Can't wait for Bigfoot '10. Brooklyn's Monster Ale is also awesome.

I saw some Michelob bourbon-barrel aged something in the grocery store. I think there was a pic of a snowman on the six pack. I haven't been able to find a review (or a correct name) for this beer. Obviously some sort of seasonal. But i am intrigued.

When you boycott a bar because they don't keep their lines clean or they serve their beer in incorrect glassware.

Great beer! This will make me look forward to Christmas even more than the presents.

That looks fantastic. The hop schedule is impressive! Isn't it funny watching BMC'ers get on their first high ABV beer? We once had company that discovered that she liked belgian tripels. After she slammed 3 in the span of about an hour, she spent the rest of the evening passed out in the...

LOL - what he said.

Sorry, to clarify, DME used for carbonation creating smaller bubbles is only a theory that i have heard tossed around. Never done it myself. I believe the OP was interested in using champagne yeast to increase head retention and get smaller bubbles. I was merely offering up an idea...

I am under the impression that the champagne yeast is used if/when the regular yeast poops out. I don't have my numbers here with me now, but I took a couple of hydrometer readings and knew it was done. So i bottled it. I don't really think that the secondary is really necessary at all. Maybe...

I made a tripel back in September that is drinkable now. i'd say if i give it another month or two it will be sublime. It was in primary for about 3 weeks and then secondary for another 3. I didn't do any champagne yeast. (My OG was 1.080) I wouldn't do the champagne yeast unless you do the...

i just read a thread about this very question on another site. Everyone seemed to agree that aging in the can is great. The inside of the can is lined somehow. Plus no light can get to it. I have put two Ten Fidy's away in the cellar. I'm looking forward to consuming them at a much later date.

Well said. I personally would rather have 1 or 2 double IPAs or RISs and call it a night. I'm just too fat and old to drink 6 of anything other than water. I also brew mostly higher gravity brews. They last a super long time and since i bottle, it works out quite well. :fro:

Is that kind of like the "Monet" Girl - looks hot from far away, but up close is a mess? Just kidding, great book by one of my favorite authors. I want to read the kid's book he wrote about beer. Sounds cool. Beet beer - sounds gross.

When i was in college and extremely broke I took my last $3 and purchased two 40s of King Cobra. I laid them on the floorboard on the passenger's side, hit a sharp turn and the 40 hit the metal track that the seat sits on. Long story short - 1 inch of nasty malt liquor to clean up out of carpet...
