Ok thanks I'll give it a try.

So I brewed a dark beer, all grain. Beer smith calls it a porter, I used 2 row 8 1/2 lb and 1 lb chocolate malt with the intention of learning grain flavor profiles. Safale us 05. I kegged most of the beer at 2 weeks and bottled a 6 pack w priming sugar. At 5 weeks the bottles have a nice clean...

Mr. Mister

I have a chest freezer that I use in the same way and I have to keep a bag of damp-rid inside or I get moisture buildup. I haven't tried this fridge yet, but I figured it would do the same thing.... Just Speculation I guess.

A friend gave me a fridge, which I intend to add the stc-1000, and I'm wondering if there's a way to disable the freezer so I'm not wasting energy and/or gaining a moisture/ mildew issue in there?

I'm in north east Texas. Going to Yagas beer fest the weekend of the 19th but I hope to catch the next meeting y'all have!

Yagas beer fest is next weekend. Suppose to be lots of craft brewers there. Anyone going?

Thanks for the great guidance. Got the yeast book this week and looking forward to getting some education.

Remember there is some things that you have to have so previous notions: dyacetil is something that most homebrewers that I know can´t pick up in small doses, tannins on the other hand are easy (some dusty mouthfeel in your gums), just read read read and taste taste taste. This is from another...

Thanks for the diagram. I was having the same issue.

I'm on their email list and they are about an hour n a half away which isn't too bad. I've never attended a club meeting, but I plan on doing so. Sadly (sarcasm) on the 19th I will be at the yaga's chili quest and beer fest. So I'm shooting for next month.

Thanks I'll check that out

Know of any brewers classes available close to the east Texas area?

I haven't gone so far as to take notes. I'm trying to just get a handle on this, ie a starting point. I can see though how those suggestions make sense.

Ok, I haven't checked out beer advocate yet, but i stopped on the way home. Got a Snpa, new Belgium fat tire amber ale and new Belgium black ale. I started with the amber. I could taste a good balance of hops and malt. Drank about half a beer and switch to the Snpa and still tasted mostly just...

Thanks I'm gonna check that out

The big ole town of Texarkana

I like that suggestion, but this is a small town and I'm not sure I can find those specific beers. I see alot of Sam Adams, shock top, Sierra of course, turbo dog and used to see Pete's wicked ale but it seems to have vanished. Any good styles you can suggest in the event I don't find these?

Second that

I agree with this. I'm doing all grain and I've been tasting the grains as I make mash. I started with a batch of all 2 row us, next batch was a 2 row with crystal 60, next was chocolate malt and so on simply trying to understand the different flavor profiles.
