nothing?

Chicago is a great town, I would love to have some recommendations from you on beers to drink. The only brewery i recognized when I did a quick search was Goose island.

I have tried double wide IPA and the bourbon barrel Quad. double wide wasn't anything special and the quad I quite enjoyed. I've also gone to a tasting by the distributer at my local store. They only had about 5 beers, but only the quad stood out for me. Can't remember which keg my brother had...

You can't add photo until after 25 posts. Just host it on imgur.com and give a link for now.

I think we don't like to use regular sugar much because it gives off tastes to the brew. Are you checking your gravity before and after fermentation?

Yeah just some of the krausen most likely. Was it tan/brownish, and looked like dried froth?

Finally i won't have to worry about my LHBS's mill exploding while we grind ;)

That is hilarious! Nice thinking man!

Not just the people I know, but I enjoy discussing beer with anyone who happens to be in the beer aisle with me lol. You've got me interested now, I'm going to talk to my beer people at my store.

How's it taste? yeah call it a brown or something as long as you like it.

Have you considered brew in a bag method?

This beer is amazing. I need to get another IPA started for my kegerator and then I'll probably be making a clone.

Do you still live here? Your experience with boulevard is vastly different than mine. No one I know buys it, nor do we discuss it. They have some decent beers, my brother even had a keg at his wedding (again, in oklahoma).

Ok I thought so :) My story is similar to yours, but I grew up in BFE oklahoma and things like rolling rock and hienekin were what i worked my way up on. Then I went in the navy and Lived about 3 miles from portsmouth brewery in NH. I go to texas fairly often for work and when I'm there i...

This is how I see it.

Did we just agree?

yes

Glad to help even if I do come off snarky at times ;)

Looks like you've got a good plan going there. You may not need to wait 24 hours for Yeast. Just enzyme and yeast in one drop. You may also want to look into fining in secondary unless you plan on having a long secondary.
