This gives me hope. Mine is in its 1st week of bottle conditioning. It tasted like (decent; dare I say: good) beer when I bottled it, but I'm not out of the woods yet.

I wouldn't worry about unboiled water in the wort. I had something similar happen to me and didn't have an infection. I needed to take a gravity reading. In order to do that, I had to remove the lid on the fermenter bucket. I could not remove the lid without some sort of prying tool and the...

Keystone Ice. Headache in a can. I drank one and though it tasted horrid, then being the rocket genius that I am, I drank another one. I had a splitting headache all day after that.

Miller owes me more than a dollar. All that time wasted, clutching the turlet bowl on sunday mornings from drinking too much of that stuff the night before. Emotional damage from all the awkward one-nighters and waking up with farm animals. I passed out on a couch that my housemates had loaded...

The band that was supposed to show up. I think it went something like this: Store Manager: Hey guys, as soon as you finish putting up that drywall, I was wondering if you guys could help me out. You see, the band just called and they're all sick with the stomach flu. So, I was wondering if...

It seems like time is the universal healer in the beer world. Congrats on your first! My first is still in secondary. I'll be bottling next weekend. Now I need another beer.

NO! If I ever get to a point where I start disliking beer, please kill me. Seriously, WTF? It's like being a mechanic and hating cars. Dammit! I think we all just got trolled.

No, but I drove my Chevy to the levee. (sorry, first thing I though when I saw the thread title)

Sounds like it'd be a sum'bitch to sanitize.

I don't know what the best debut album ever is, no one knows. So, allow me to submit an obscure entry: Clutch Transnational Speedway League: Anthems, Anecdotes, and Undeniable Truths

It took about 36 hours for mine to start. I was worried at first, but when I woke up the next day, I thought the thing was going to blow off the top of the bucket (well, not really, but it was pretty spectacular) I heard it can take even longer, depending on the freshness of the yeast.

Sperm Whales Make Better Omelets

You're ridin' it, dude!

My first brew day was 4 hours soup-to-nuts. (Extract w/steeping grains)

I won't post just to post--for no reason--because I'm not a post whore.

I'm an engineer. The primary reason I got into brewing is because it's so analog. I spend my days working with high-tech automation technology and brewing beer seems to get me out of that head-space and into something I can get my hands on and have something to show for it. I'm sure it has its...

SWMBO stands for my brewing practices as long as I clean up after myself.
