As long as you don't have to move far away for the position, then there is not much harm in taking it. You can always use it to resume-build and switch employment if a better oppurtunity comes up. I have friends that are in software and are having a hard time finding work. I am in a different...

2 pints in 2 gallons probably wouldn't do it, but I know I have used tap water and gotten band aid results before. Even after boiling; I assume Central PA water just has a high concentration of Chloromines ( for me, maybe NJ has the same issue). Switching to bottled water solved my problems (and...

Also, in many cases (such as partial mashes and all-grain) you are looking to boil off water! Sometimes it is neccasary to boil for a bit before additions just for boil-off.

I am drinking a regular IPA right now that has a similar profile to that, with no oats or black malt. Hop Schedule: 1 oz Chinook @ 60 1 oz Chinook @ 30 .5 Centennial @ 15 .5 Centennial @ 10 .5 Centennial @ 5 1 Cascade @ flame out With this schedule, it is not all that in-your-face...

6 or so batches in, no infections. But I did sanitize during my first batch with bleach (before reading through most of this forum) and got some seriously band-aid flavored beer. Not really an infection, just gross beer. Considered marketing it as Absolut Band-Aid.

I am glad they moved it to Thursdays. 10pm on Sunday was no good for me, and I have only been able to catch clips of it on their site. I must say, the beer hip-hop is more than a little amusing.

I brew in a small apartment as well, and I will echo the suggestions to take out the trash ASAP. The grain smells really good for a short perod of time, then it gets pretty nasty. If you use pellet hops and strain the wort before adding to the fermenter: those get nastier, quicker.

Beer snobs can play beer pong too! :D It is head and shoulders above BMC, and is a satisfying session lager. If I am going to have one or two beers with dinner I generally won't reach for a Yuengling, but it is great for drinking while watching a game, or out at the bar. Easy to order too ;)

What O.G. would I be aiming for to add to this? Do I try to match the gravity of the original wort? How does this sound: -3lbs of light DME in 3 gallons of water, boiled down to 2.5 gallons -hopped with the same schedule as the previous wort -old wort gets shaken up and poured into a 7...

So, transfer the current wort/beer to a secondary, and pour a very dry beer wort onto the yeast cake in the primary? Let the primary ferment out, then combine them? Or just pour it right over the current beer?

Is it possible to add a highly fermentable wort to the primary, to counteract the load of unfermentables?

I did not realize that victory was so unfermentable! Is there any way to save this beer? It basically tastes like mostly unfermented wort, and from what you say, it will likely never ferment. Is there anything I can do with it other than dumping it? Could I brew a thin, higher alcoholic...

I told myself I wouldn't post a newbie 'is my beer ruined?!' thread. I just wanted to lurk, not worry, and have a home brew. The advice I have gotten out of this forum and it's search function has been a great help, but I don't think this one will work itself out over time. I am using DB's...
