Sorry JeepGuy, You are not being honest with yourself. The behavior she is displaying is not ok with you! Her actions are immature, disrespectful, and seemingly dishonest. Forget what "might" have happened and focus on the things that did happen that you don't like. Tell her how it...

Totally agreed. I also think this is one of those times where racking to a secondary is necessary. ;)

If a beer spilled in the woods and no one was around to drink it, was it drunk?

Congrats, Soon you will have the gift of more beer. For what it is worth, I have a 10 gallon upright cooler and I have made a few big beers (1.090-1.110). I tend to make more around 1.050 beers though. There are multiple compromises that can be made and still get what you want out of a 10...

Hello EyePeeA, I think it depends on what you want from your big IIPA. Check you the info on the White Labs page. http://www.theyeastbay.com/brewers-yeast-products/vermont-ale The Vermont Ale strain (Which I am assuming is your Conan Yeast) attenuates more if the temperature is raised at...

I hate pooping for free.

Hey mag357, Bouts of fatigue and depression can happen to anyone. It can take the joy out of the things we love the most. For me what really helps is getting outside in nature and getting my heart pumping so I can feel living again. That and having some quality time with the wife. Try...

"I'm drunk"

I can't re-use the new packaging like I did with the old plastic tubes. There are still plenty of inexpensive options for storing yeast, but I always chose WL over others because I would also get a "free" plastic tube. Oh well, roll with the punches and brew beer.

I brewed the single malt variation of this clone, but scaled down to 3 gallons in the last week of December 2015. I had an OG of 1.092 and got it down to 1.012 after a couple weeks of fermentation staying within the process outlined by CSI. I sampled the beer while transferring for bulk aging...

So the beer is finished. This was an experimental batch using this yeast. Half was left as the cream ale which you can see attached. The other half I added homemade blueberry extract at bottling. The attenuation of this yeast was higher than I expected. I kept a vial of it for possible...

What are you going for Marty? By the effort you put into getting the spruce and prickly pair I would think that you would want character of those ingredients to star in your beer. But by the hop additions it looks more like bitterness and hops will be the first impression. If I wanted a USA...

Here is a link to another innovative way for priming bottles with sugar. http://breweveryday.com/these-bottling-techniques-will-change-your-life/

Congrats on the upgrade. I am sure you will like having more beer. On the subject of topping off, I top off in the fermentation vessel when I do a partial boil. I boil a higher gravity wort knowing that I will be adding water in the fermentation vessel. One of the nice things about this...

Sure. Th attached photo an old water bottle. Ocean spray is another good large bottle. I use these for storage and fermentation.

Bienvenue, hopsngrains. Nice to see another Quebecois homebrewer.

I reuse 4 liter water bottles. I bought them at the local supermarket. The bottles are plastic (PET) water bottles. I think I got 4 of the water bottles for less than 5 dollars. You can also use the juice ones which are a little thicker plastic (but the juice costs more). When I am ready...

Another way to "concentrate" a light beer is by icing it ( Eisbock style).

Yeah, just before winter I do yeast maintenance. The garage fridge freezes and I have to move the yeast. So I get rid of duplicates and downsize to the smallest medium and move them indoors. I can`t seem to willingly discard yeast at the moment. How do you KNOW if you never want to use them...

LOL, I have done the same thing. That is one of the reasons I started saving yeast from the starter instead of the carboy.
