+1 to the Palo Santo. One of my favorite beers ever, though don't think it really counts as a brown at 12%. Worldwide Stout is fantastic as well but no idea if you can get that in California.

Love the old video games so thus this was born edit again: Having problems with the new flickr, should be fixed

I'm not sure it's acetaldehyde, mostly because I've never tasted anything that I knew was acetaldehyde. Don't like apples so aside from green apple Jolly Ranchers I don't have a great idea of the flavor in my head. After trying it for the first time I basically searched this forum with the...

Not sure if this should be in the yeast forum or here, let me know if I need to move it. About 2 months ago I brewed my first all grain. I did a Nut Brown kit from Northern Brewer with dry Danstar Nottingham Ale Yeast. Haven't used dry yeast in a long time and just rehydrated them as per...

+1 to just asking. Usually people don't say no if you volunteer to bring beer. If they have other kegs then just make sure there is an extra trash can. That and make sure to bring the gas/picnic tap. Earlier this year I went to a wedding with homebrew and the best man built a jockey box that...

I agree that the gallon seems a like a lot. I'm sure that it varies based on the type of juice and the amount of sugar in it. Some people on here have used extract and added it to the bottling bucket to taste (between 2-6 oz per batch), should be able to do the same thing with juice. For my...

Had a Brother Thelonious Belgian Abby for the first time yesterday. Freaking amazing.

I've read that the acetaldehyde flavor can disappear with age but does cooling/carbing the keg pretty much keep it in the beer? Last batch tastes like cut grass, undrinkable. Usually leave 3-4 weeks in the primary but pulled off after 1 week this time. It's a light brown ale (OG 1.042) and...

You can't really buy a 240 extension cord, at least I've never seen one, which makes me wonder about the safety. If you do want to buy one try a dedicated generator supply store or maybe an RV dealership.

I did the Northern Brewer Kolsch Kit back in the day, turned out good. A lighter beer and not too hoppy.

I did mine with appliance paint and it turned out great. Make sure you do at least two coats and if rust has been an issue then I would suggest priming it, aside from that it's pretty simple

I know this thread is a little old but I wanted to post my finished product since I basically copied everything that Bobby did on here. Prior to this project I had no experience soldering copper, just electronics. After a couple of tries I figured it out the the majority of the joints came...

I'm a little late to the thread but I'm just inside 610 at 290. If you guys want to try and figure out a meet up/brew day let me know and I'm game.

HEB is a south thing, but Central Market (really nice grocery store) does have an amazing beer selection. Certain ones let you make your own six pack. I lived near the one in Fort Worth during college and if we had nothing to do we'd go get six beers we've never tried just to see what random...

Had a beer fridge in the garage when I moved in. Finally got tired of bottling so... The lines are actually insulated now. Some left over blue moon from a recent bbq. Easily fits a 1/2 barrel with a corny and the CO2. Could not be more happy.

After I checked the specific gravity last night I just shook the hell out of it and today I'm seeing some air bubbles. Not sure exactly what happened but it looks like it might be on it's way now.

Thanks for the quick responses, It is an extract brew, I'm not sure of the pitching temp so it may have been a little warm (I'm guessing that's where my problem is), it's been in 70-75 degrees since then. It's a liquid yeast "White Labs Pitchable Liquid Yeast" either the WLP001 California...

I started a batch last week and there has been no fermentation as of yet. I've been keeping and eye out for air bubbles and have not seen any. I was hoping that I just didn't have an airtight seal, but I tested the specific gravity today and it is at 1.050, which was the starting point...
