Sounds pretty serious, lol!

I guess I'm more curious about the sanitation side than anything...I'd hate to find out sometime down the road that our efforts to sanitize were ineffective and had simply been getting lucky on making good beer. So, what I hope someone out there can answer is this: does a lower temperature on...

So how did it turn out?

So, how did it all go? I can't get my hands on the real thing all that well, and would love to have a great recipe. If anyone else has a great clone for this beer, I'm all ears.

Yeah, I searched around the site and couldn't find anything on it, so I decided that somebody needed to inform the n00bs (myself included).

Aren't almost all of Dogfish Head's labels the same?

Is anyone else familiar with the brewing network, The Brewing Network.com - Beer radio | The Brewing Network™ for craft brewers and microbrews It seems like a pretty good source of information, and better yet, they have video and audio you can download. I downloaded pretty much all the "Brew...

Oldschool's typically up when nobody else is....and sleeping when we are, lol.

The oats sank to the bottom when we filled, and after they had conditioned, they were still at the bottom (along with the yeast sediment).

Are you familiar with French Lick? I just moved back (worked in Oakland City, IN for the last three years). Where did you grow up?

I'm glad you said it as many times as you did. I hadn't read anything on suckback, so I decided I should look it up and learn what I could. Thanks for suckbacking a lot, lol.

Oldschool, cross your fingers for mellowing, lol. We can only hop that it turns out well. I guess if it doesn't, we can give some to the people that we don't like as much that want to try our beer....this way, maybe they'll stop asking, lol.

As far as methods to sanitize the oats, were we to try, what do people suggest? I think that boiling would change the outcome too much. I am curious about either steaming or nuking though....any thoughts? More on steaming and nuking or otherwise?

I brew with oldschool, and there was definitely a difference in taste between the two beers. We still have one bottle of the "dreaded oat beer", lol; I'll be sure to set up a double blind with a number of friends, as well as oldschool, and hopefully we can settle the problem. I think a lot of...

B-brite, 1-step, and easy clean.

I've noticed that on the cleansers and sanitizers that I use, they say that they should be mixed with warm water. If they are mixed with water that is ~60 degrees, is there any downside to this? I know it won't dissolve as well, but I guess I'm wondering if it still does its job or not?

I agree about the Sierra Nevada bottles, they can be a pain. The Samuel Adams are a piece of cake, but the easiest I have found have been Spaten. Most of the time, they come off as I lift the bottle out of the soak. I've even had them come off while they were in a cooler. I typically use some...

Be careful with the trading/bartering homebrew...illegal. Just watching out for you. I'm just curious, how much are you wanting for the bombers? Any swingtops?

You can pick up thread savers. It's just a metal piece with female thread that screws over the top to keep such damage from occurring. As far as my experience with burst disks, it can more easily than you would think. I had a 24oz tank for paintball in the back of my truck in a black bag in the...
