While I've not had a Grolsch, I have had a few beers er the yeas that necessitated having a DIFFERENT beer just to get the schtank outta my mouth. Tony

What about using a tea infuser, one of the larger ones? Same principle. Tony

My first thought was infection of some kind, wild yeast or the like. Even the distilled water can get bacteria if it has been opened. Sanitize, sanitize. Tony

So THAT'S what I've been doing wrong. I must have missed step 20. Dag! Tony

Easy solution... Throw away the pot and get a new one. Sounds simple, but the hole is there making more than problems with leaking... it may also flake or rust stuff into your wort. Tony

Could be aging... time=money. Tony

Where do you put the primary carboy? Tony

Oldest trick in the book for a long-time kitchen guy... Two drops of bleach in about 1/2 cup of water. Boil the pot on the stove until it's almost gone. The crud will cake right off. Tony

Oxygen is important to yeast at first, but then becomes an enemy. Agitate, pitch, hydrate, agitate, leave it be. Tony

My father has just been through this with a rare form of cancer that presented as a tumor on his hand. The cancer spread to his lymph nodes, but no further. He is undergoing radiation therapy now and the extra growths that were found following his surgery and recovery have reduced in size...

That's a really nice label, dude. My wife is working on a label for mine... she's pretty talented, but I don't think she'll be putting skull and crossbones on my label. :) Tony

I read the original post about this beer... and I laughed... you could turn this into a short story. The label looks great AS IS. Tony

I'm looking to buy two Better Bottles, but can't seem to find any conclusive information about exactly what else I need to complete the setup. Can anyone provide a little guidance on what accessories I need with these bottles to set up a primary and secondary? Assume for the moment that I have...

Hi drinker, I'm in Shepherdstown, the eastern panhandle. Not too far from you, actually. Thus far, I've drank what I've brewed. I'm brewing another batch tonight of stout, a favorite of my wife's. Tony

I've long been a fan of micro-brewed beers and the intricacies of flavoring, body and taste of good beer. Over the holidays, my brother-in-law gave me a Mr. Beer kit, and I brewed my first batch for fermentation just before New Years. About two weeks ago I bottled the batch and all has gone...
