I'll be web casting my brew session on Sunday 8/3/08 starting around 8am Central. I'll be brewing a Belgium Wit, this is my first recipe that I have designed so wish me luck and hope to talk to you guys tomorrow. Here's the link for the "BrewCast" http://www.mogulus.com/jimbobsbrew

I had a bottle at New Year's and there is a tag on the bottle that describes the process a bit. I bet it is a lot of work. I'm working on getting someone to brew with me.

LMAO...I didn't even think of that I've actually tried one and it is really good...unlike the above pictured can

I used to have neighbors who let their dogs crap in my yard. So I started collecting it in a bag that I left on the side of the house. When it was full enough (within a week) I set it on the hood of their car. A few days later they asked me if I knew who did it and I said "Yes" and walked away...

Have a good recipe for one? Maybe a Hoegaarden Grand Cru Clone?

Thanks, I found that last night. I'm definaly going to do this sometime soon.

I've done a bit more research online and I agree that they should start horizontal and then slowly move to veritical. I've emailed a buddy to see if he would be interested in joining in this brew.

Currently on the AHA website in there is a small article on Champagne Beer. I've been thinking about doing this for a while now and was wondered if anyone has tried it. I've attached the link below and also have some questions. http://www.beertown.org/homebrewing/index.html First, question...

LMAO...I can't remember off hand but I think it was about 4-5%. One thing you can do to bump the alcohol content is by some kind of booster. You're local Homebrew shop probably has something like that.

You guys have made some really good observations and I appreciate the help. I'm really going to put some thought into this as I have not commited and bought an AC unit, but I do have the mini-fridge for free right now. I like the glycol solution idea. The nice thing is I can start off slow and...

The problem here is going to be an oversized AC with an undersized space. Please correct me if I'm wrong but would an independent thermostat prevent that?

I have banged carboys so hard I knew they were broken. Sure enough you hit one just right and it cracks. That sucks man...I feel your pain

I'm up in LBK a lot for work and my family is still up there. Next time I go I'll see what i can do about send you something. I should be up there sometime at the end of August, I'll drop you a PM and let you know.

That's a very good point...I'm dealing with that now in my kegerator..any suggestions? UPDATE: So last night I got a full 2in of insulation cut and roughly installed. I'm going to add some canned foam to seal things up and will install the insulation permantly. I hope I can do that...

LMAO...Not really, it was an easy boil out and had been there since early yesterday evening. Where I was a DumbA** was I didn't think about the berries cloging the airlock as it rose.

No..No...No, call back just packed up and came home and cleaned up the mess. We both had a really good laugh about the wife is a good sport. I will say however that she was on the edge of being mad, but me coming home to clean up made it all better. As far as stains, no stains, I do however...

Phone Transcript: JB: "This is Jimbob" JBW (Jimbob's Wife): "Hi Honey hows work going?" JB: "Oh you know, pretty busy...been working on..." JBW: "There's been an explosion here." JB: "What?!?!...Where?!?!?!...The House?!?!" JBW: "Yep in the kitchen, you have some work to do...check your...

Well after putting quite a bit of thought into this and reading that article. I think I might change my plan and go with the AC unit. I stopped by a pawn shop on the way home and checked out a couple. One thing I didn't think about with these is that they recirculate room air, rather than cool...

Right now this project has cost me $30 (at least since the start)...I'm not including the cost of building the bench 7 years ago. I'd like to keep this under $100 which I think is feasible considering I'm going to get a couple of thermostats and some misc. parts. My thoughts right now are...
