Mc brown, welcome. I'm in Lafayette as well. You will thoroughly enjoy the hobby

glad to know I'm not the only crazy spreadsheet person. :)

I like beer. Same as I like seafood, and meat. Sure, there is some beer I don't like, same as seafood and meat. Everyone has their preferences and just because they don't like one thing or another, doesn't mean that they aren't a beer drinker, or a meat eater, or seafood eater. Some people may...

Very cool. I'm an alum and live in Lafayette. I'd like some info on this. Thanks,

Agreed with the above. Brantley Gilbert is decent too (from the few songs I've heard), but he is more rock I would say.

OK, I did a search but couldn't really find much info. My buddy ordered some stuff from Midwest Supplies and He also ordered me a Liberty Cream Ale kit. I'm at work and can't check, but I don't think it came with the regular dry yeast pack. He does have the yeast that came with his Belgian...

I agree with the comments of having them get the ingredients for you and help you brew it. Giving a few beers away to friends is one thing, but brewing a full batch of beer...not so much. I don't just give friends $30-$40...at least not until I win the lotto.

I don't have a truly set schedule yet, but evenings seems like the most common for me. I also enjoy having some friends over to have some brews while making brew. Really, its kind of like sitting around a bonfire, except in a garage and the bonfire is a kettle. Every once in a while you just...

I would be curious to see if drinking a non alcoholic beer would have the same effect? Even though there is trace amounts of alcohol in it if I understand correctly.

plan on brewing an irish stout this evening :)

I went to the local recycling place last Sunday and there was a dumpster full of glass brown bottles. They also had a dumpster full of greens too, but obviously I didn't worry about those. I picked the ones I could see right on the top layer and left there with 71 bottles :). I plan on making...

+1 for oxyclean and let them soak. Most come right off. the tougher ones just require a wash cloth and wipe the residue off. I heard somewhere that oxyclean once mixed is only active for about 6 hours. I usually just let mine soak for a few hours and go for it.

Bringing an old thread back. I'm in Lafayette. Been to Great Fermentations a few times. The knowledge is great for a beginner like me.

To me, it makes sense that the fermentation would generate the heat. Your freezer could be at 67*, but your fermenting beer could be 71*. What is the external temperature where you are at?

It's very addictive. Just started a couple months ago. 2nd batch in bottles and going this week to get 4 cornies, another bucket and some more kits to hold me over. Gotta get the pipeline filled!

and welcome!

I believe you have to first get an oxydization layer on the aluminum. I would read about it more before you do your first batch. i think it is just boiling water till it daekens I could be wrong though.

welcome to the community!

Where at in IN? I'm in Lafayette.
