Sierra Nevada Torpedo Deschutes Inversion I've also been drinking New Belgium Ranger quite a bit lately

Rogue beers. I love'em and all but 10.99+dep for a sixer is dumb. I only live an hour and a half from the brewery.

Rogue Old Crustacean, Stone Old Guardian is pretty damn good too as long as they have some age on them. Although not a big beer I have to mention Deschutes Obsidian Stout, absolutely delicious.

I once found a fly in a can of Busch Light.

Chilling because I have no wort chiller. Takes forever.

I have just bottled about 2 gallons of a wild SMaSH. I used 4.5lbs MO and .55oz of Pearle (8.0%). I had an OG of 1.063 and an FG of 1.012. So far I am very pleased with the results, there is a mellow sourness at first that yields to the malt character in the finish. Very good IMO so far, we'll...

8849 + 5gal Bee Cave Brewery Kolsch = 8854

I would say go ahead with the test batch. My landlords operate a dairy and I frequently have cows, and everything that comes with them, just on the other side of the fence. I just bottled my first beer fermented with wild yeast and I am very excited about it, it has a slight sour character at...

I have recently captured some wild yeast and would like to give it a go. I was thinking that a SMaSH recipe would be best because of the simplicity it would be easier evaluate the yeast. I would like suggestions on what to brew as I am still fairly new to brewing. I have the following hops on...
