Get some Three Floyds while you're there. I can't tell you any store names. I just know that Three Floyds comes from Indiana. Git sum!

I listened to an episode of the Jamil Show where they talked about fermentation temperature control. From what i remember, they said that the most important time for temp control (as it pertains to getting off flavors) is the first 4-7 days of primary. After that, just watch out for any wild...

Sorry, it's been awhile since i've bought S-05, I guess it's gone up. I was under the impression that folks wash and reuse more liquid strains than dry because of price/quality. Not saying the S-05 isn't a robust dry yeast - just dry in general.

Is there a reason that you are washing dry yeast.?Why not just spend $1.75 on another packet?

I think that the reason you see so many Imperials rated is because people tend to spend more money on a bomber of an 11% Imperial, so it is a bigger deal to them, so they want to review it. I have reviewed several beers and I usually review the beers that make a lasting impression on me. It's...

I'd go with the false bottom first, then the copper/pvc manifold and then the stainless braid - if i had to choose. Supposedly the false bottom is supposed to give you the best efficiency. My stainless braid just gave me 62% last brew day, boo!

World Market has a good selection of glasses. Also pubglasses.com - or google "beer glassware"

I will be brewing an american barleywine recipe this weekend. Just in time for NEXT winter!! Got some DFT Panagea, Sahtea and 90 Minute to help out brew day.

It's true, the Unibroue bottles are screw-top. I didn't notice until i had already shed their labels and the annoyingly hard to get off gold foil. You can use screw-tops for bottling, but you risk not getting a good seal. Better off using the pop tops.

Sam Adams Black Lager is probably my favorite beer they make.

Fermcap or get some Gas-x. All i have is Gas-x and i works like a charm. Just a couple of drops will do ya.

Did you control your fermentation temp? I made a pale ale that fermented at over 70 degrees and it tasted like a big ole banana/clove wheat. i have since started using a swamp cooler / wet t-shirt method.

We are still laughing our butts off at our office watching this. The ending is hysterical. And I do think he's drunk. Maybe I'm naive, but i've seen drunkards stumbling around like this. I think i've been close to stumbling around like this. Thank god there weren't any cameras then!

Hey Carolinaeasy, i, too am a South Carolinian and enjoy a bit of the ol' NASCAR. Going to the race is a really good time, too. I have a few suggestions: First, you should be able to actually bring in some beer into the track, so bring a small 6-pack sized cloth cooler or have pants/jacket with...

I found some last night at the grocery store for $4.99. I figured "what the hell?" - i used to drink BL back in the day. But, now i can't stomach it. But, this BLGW wasn't that bad. of course my expectations were very low. For the price point definitely acceptable, but not spectacular.

mmmmmmmmm, nipple sandwich.

yep, i bet your yeasties died in the scalding hot wort [takes hat off, places on chest, bows head in silence]

I recently brewed Midwest's Hop Head Double IPA all-grain recipe and decided on the fly to start hopping with 20 mins. left in the boil after reading the same thing as the OP. It's still in primary, but after a pretty intense krausen/blow-off, it is showing the signs of being a hop monster. It...

Thanks for the responses guys. I will feed it some more tonight and take it from there. Ed, I know that you're probably tired of hearing it, but I ordered the Bee Cave Pale Ale from Brewmasters and was extremely pleased in every aspect of my order. Thanks! And passedpawn, thanks for the good...

+1 on the WLP004. it's the way to go. i have an oatmeal stout that i'm enjoying right now made with WLP004.
