Yesterday, gave up the Eroica for dead. Moved the free Willow Creek hops (thank you @Greatlakeshops!) which were in a container into their spot in the raised bed box.

Who’s making the Dynamite Rabbit? Or… Tim?

Just reiterating what a lot of people already said here. Apple juice without sulfites or preservatives is a good base. If you are shooting for a specific volume like 5G, throw in your fruit, then juice to top off. Add pectic enzyme and metabisulfite for 24 hours before you pitch yeast. Check...

My LHBS is South Bay Brewing Supply in Torrance (across the street, literally). I used to buy from AIH, but stopped when they were bought and they f'ed my account. Sometimes, Steinfillers in Long Beach for local needs. If someone is having a wack-@$$ sale (like free shipping for everything)...

Hmm, maybe this is what led to my WCIPA fascination...

Since someone else resurrected this; a relatively clear idea of amount per gallon is helpful. I entered my last RIS in the National Comp because the beer share I sent it to was super-favorable. I got panned for body more than anything else. As I am allergic to lactose, maltodextrin seems to...

I'm a teacher who is also fascinated by your very topic. If I get too pedantic, feel free to DM me a "Shut the **** up" message, but I love this stuff (and teach it). Based upon archaeological research and historical records (Egypt, Israel, Sumeria, etc.), we have been cultivating grapes for...

Congratulations!

Added 2oz of whole-cone Centennial to my SMaSH Pale Ale. Chilled the starter for the future Pilsner.

Yesterday while putting away the Pilsner starter for a future Brewday.And later while putting together dinner.

My LHBS guy was willing to double-crush for me, then eventually solid me an Evil Twin so I could do it myself. Sorry, I didn't see that later you already talked to them about this. Ignore me.

That is an amazing deal.

When Maya Angelou spoke a few years back here, she said something akin to, "There are only 26 letters in the English alphabet, and there are only so many ways to put them together." She was both lamenting at how difficult it can be to create new work and also remarking on her own Imposter...

Starting to see a pattern.

Standing over a grill is thirsty work.

tomorrow will be work. Today there is beer.

I wanted to thank everyone for their input on this issue I was having, so here is the update: Yesterday, I used my @wilserbrewer bag resting on top of the bottom support, off the coils/bottom in the RoboBrew. The malt pipe was relegated to the floor behind the brewing table. Heated strike...

Chasing a sub-5%, really hoppy, pale beer (whatever you want to call it), that isn't b***-puckering bitter or overwhelmed by crystal malt, is my constant motivation. If I could buy it on the regular, I wouldn't be brewing in my garage.

I'm just echoing here, but with liquid or dry, I do starters so that I can save some for next time. After about a year or so, they move out of the "tasty" range and then I buy again. It takes away the variables of old or heat damaged (unless it's truly dead).
