This is also a good point. I have taken our kids on a brewery tour as well and didn't think anything of it. Of course that was in Wisconsin where kids can go in bars. ;) The first time I went to my LHBS I had my 2 year old with me and after I walked in I stopped and said, wait can she be in...

Also I should note that I remember when I was somewhere between the age of 7-9 I asked my Dad for a taste of his beer and he gave it to me. I thought it was awful. I also was the "bartender" when our family would come over I was mixing drinks for Grandma and Grandpa, I can still remember the...

My middle daughter has asked if she can brew with me lately. (She's 9). I am certain her desire to brew with me is all about just spending time with me. Although in the day and age of overly sensitive people I did take pause about saying yes immediately. I look at it as cooking and teaching...

Agreed. I love to learn and I was really curious when I read your post. I was pleasantly surprised when I hit the FG. Oh the wonders of HB. :)

I thought the same thing when I tasted the sample. I'm looking forward to trying it out in a few weeks.

Good information to know. I swear I learn something new on here every day.

I opened a second.. just because and this one had a more typical head on it, this one is much more cloudy though and carbonation still isn't what it should be so I did take them all out of the fridge and they are warming up. So odd how the same batch can be so different in two different...

Here are the pictures of the temp and hydrometer reading. Now looking at the picture it looks like it's closer to 1.014.

I brewed everything as posted. Nothing changed other than my post boil gravity wasn't as high as the original recipe indicated due to poor efficiency. Want me to take a picture of the hydrometer? I swear I didn't make this up. ;)

Thanks for the help. Everything you said is making sense. I'll grab it out of the fridge let it warm up a bit and see where we go from there. :)

I married a man stuck in a 12 year olds body, so everything I say I feel like I need to justify. Old habits die hard. I'll have to go dig up my notes on this beer. The beer was in early carbonation stage, so I think what I am reading is probably accurate, bring it up from the basement and...

I would say it was about half way there. I hadn't thought about that. Maybe I should open another one and inspect it further. :) For being so young it wasn't half bad, I can't wait for a few more weeks. :) I'm a pretty clean person that being said I have kids that do the dishes sometimes...

Great information. I didn't realize you could mail in an entry. That makes things much easier. :)

Thanks so much. I'd love some good feedback.

Ok Ok before the joke start I know how dirty that title sounds. Now on to the problem. I finally moved my tripel into the fridge today. I brewed the Tripel on Oct 10th, let it sit in primary until Nov 1(at 65-60degrees) until I racked it to bottles and just today moved it into the fridge...

I have been thinking about doing a competition but I wasn't sure how they work. Do you have to go there? From your post it doesn't sound like you do. IS there a central location where you can find different competitions? TIA.

I'm getting ready to rack this and the FG is 1.013 (with correction for temperature.) I grabbed a taste and it surprisingly is not overly sweet. I'll update more once it's done bottle carbing.

The last IPA I brewed went through a similar change around that same time period. After another week it was fine.

I was messing with this recipe some more today. Tweeking slightly with your recommendations. 12 lbs 0.4 oz Golden Promise (Simpsons) (2.0 SRM) 68.7 % 1 lbs 8.0 oz Borlander Munich Malt (Briess) (10.0 SRM) 8.6 % 1 lbs 8.0 oz Victory Malt (25.0 SRM) 8.6 % 16.0 oz Caramel/Crystal...

Thank you. My mill will be here in a few days so I'll give it a try. :)
