Drop it like its hop!:mug:

How about some wood chips? haven't tried yet but plan to...

I was in my LHBS, and they had a Cascade from either Argentina or Australia... I can't remember which. The label said something like "no citrusy aroma". My question is, can you really call it a Cascade?!

offering free hops is cool no matter what! I'm too far though.

that is a great idea! But before I get excited, I must remember that SWMBO has laid down the law. And shes right, there's no room for more equip in the apt. Especially with a little girl on the way!!!!! (1st) I like your ideas about the hops. I'm thinking that I might eliminate the...

Good to know... thanks the price is high, i agree. But I can walk there, and the owners are pretty cool. I think a lot of the price is due to the location and size. Thats what the DME is for ;) thanks again for the advice

thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try when the mac version comes out. I just picked up the book "Designing Great Beers" and was all excited to do the math.

08-08-08 SMALL BATCH IPA #3 I realized that all previous calculations were for 1 gallon, when actually I ended up with 2. So.. it gets even more expensive: Ingredients bought $: 10 lbs British Maris Otter Malt $19.00 1 lb German/ Weyermann Caramel Wheat Malt $2.25 1 oz. Centennial...

My first AG started as a clone of DFH 60 min IPA, from the recipe in Mr. Calagione's "Exteme Brewing" book that was converted from extract. OG 1.067 and transferred to secondary at 1.015, using almost the exact grain bill as stated in OP. The only major difference that I can see is the recipe...

5 for me, that makes 6040

I asked my LHBS, whats the best way to start a siphon? one of the answers I got was to attach a smaller hose (came with the kit), suck on that, pinch the siphon hose, then remove the smaller one. It worked great and I don't see anything wrong with this method. I couldn't find anything...

I poured my first carbonated brew today. I felt euphoric before the first sip. Then SWMBO commented, saying it "has a good smell, tastes really good and has great color". I told her, "Thats the nicest thing you ever said to me!" #5 is it for nOObs like me. :mug:

After many shots of 151, I passed out on the toilet in the bar's only restroom. I locked the door so they had to break in. From what I'm told there was a line of (pissed off) people who saw me with my pants down and my head in my boxers. I don't think I took a **** in there... :confused:

thanks for the helpful info and reassurance. My LHBS was closed that day, but you're right, so far they've been great.

great advice, thanks! And it gave me an excuse to try one. 4 days in and not much carbonation at all - so looks like I'm golden. Tasted OK, for a flat beer!! thanks again

Hey-O! What an awesome web community! Well, my wife has been tolerant so far of this great new hobby (addiction?) but if the bottles break I may have a choice to make. I just bottled my first batch, following a homebrew shop's recipe as best I could. But after reading How To Brew, I'm...

google search: mac brewing software. Clicked on the link for HBT because it didn't appear to be a software company. I tried out BeerAlchemy, then came back to browse the forum. Awesome!
