I saw it in stores last week and then I reread the newest brew magazine and saw it in there. Anyone make this yet? I'm curious.

In Dallas definitely check out peticolas' velvet hammer, it is a fantastic beer. Heard their Royal Scandal is even better, but I cannot speak from experience. Lakewood has a good IPA and deep Ellum brewing has a nice farmhouse, if memory serves right. Rahr and sons most popular beer may be the...

Yeah, I don't know why I wrote that in my notes as 00024, it is oktoberfest marzen 820. I knew that it would be way to high to ferment, I just wanted to see what the high temps would do. Honestly it's not terrible, as I said, but I was more just curious if people had tried bottle lagering and...

I meant lagering, not lathering, although I might as well have lathered it as well.

I made an amber with white labs 00024. Fermented around 65 in a swamp cooler in Texas, it's hot here. Primed with coffee and priming sugar. Been bottled 3 weeks and it strangely isn't awful. I'm just curious if I leave it in the fridge for a month or so if it will lose its fruity characteristics...

Check Craigslist, people often times save their empties and give them away by the case load. It's all a crap shoot on how clean they are, but if they're free it's not a big deal to toss a couple of nasty ones. A lot of people are getting smart though and asking for their bottles in exchange for...

Keep going man. I brewed my first batch and went and bought three more fermenters the next day, now I always have something going on and it's awesome!! Congrats and keep it up!!!

If I happen to make an anchor steam type beer by mistake it might just be one of the best days of my life. I'm looking forward to experimenting!

Guerilla, victory was one I was looking at, for sure. I really enjoy rye but I have a few apprehensions about using it. I've only had one beer where the eye really was the star and it struck a good note with me, but I don't know if I want to use it this time around or not. They said that a...

Sweetcell, I'm not really sure if I want to lager or not. I kind of don't mind experimenting in all kinds of ways. I may end up just letting it go in the 70 range and see what happens. I really just want to try and see what I can get with different ingredients and temps, just have fun and...

I'm doing my fourth extract batch and I want to experiment a little bit. I have two vials of yeast left over that I got as a precautionary measure, oktoberfest lager and Hefeweizen ale, both white labs, and I wanted to experiment a little bit and make two random batches with maybe an extract...

Ok. That's kinda what I thought. I had tried bleach earlier and I wasn't getting anywhere, and it looked like a hard water stain that I get on my shower walls, but I wasn't sure. I'll try that. Thanks a bunch!

The works, okay? Is that sort of on the same lines of clr?

Okay, thanks. That's what I was hoping for. Appreciate the help!

Hi all, I recently got some stuff on Craigslist, which included 3 glass carboys. They were in a barn and hadn't been used in a while and needed a good deep cleaning. I have cleaned one and it came out spotless but the other two have what appear to be water lines near the top that is difficult to...

Awesome, thanks for the info. Also, I need to find out about this dingy bar...

Thanks Yooper! I saw that gelatin was used and I was also interested in keeping the beer vegetarian since several of my friends are vegetarian. From the UP? My wife's family is from Negaunee and Ishpeming! Maybe you can help settle a debate we have often: who has the best Cudighi? Cheers!

I just started brewing, a week and a half ago, and just yesterday I upgraded to 5 gallons from one gallon and got two extract kits from Austin Homebrew supply (Roggenbier and an Oktoberfest). Im really interested in sticking with the German purity law and I was curious where Irish Moss fits into...
