that is pretty sweet

Time to fire up a PM Irish Red!

I started brewing in medical school, wish I did sooner. It is basically a combo of biology and organic lab from college...but awesome

About to sparge on my Oktoberfest-Ale partial mash. Gonna use some some wlp080 cream ale yeast...i guess that means i need to bottle or keg my cream ale too so I can wash that yeast!

I am at a cross-roads right now on my GE mini fridge...started to bend freezer down to the back but worried about possible line breakage-there is a slight crack right now, but from comments in other threads it sounds like it could just be the paint. Do I 1)abandon attempt, bend the actual metal...

Shipyard Pumkinhead...had it a couple of years ago and was absolutely terrible. And I do like pumpkin beers like Dogfishhead and Schlafly, and of course my own. Never again.

I have an oatmeal stout kit from AHS i was thinking about turning into a pumpkin stout-mainly because its almost august and haven't made any beers for the fall yet. Have a couple of cans of pumpkin-haven't decided if i will add to mash or boil (I do partials), plus some spices at flameout. Other...

I plan on harvesting some wlp080 cream ale/lager blend from my cream ale and using that for a oktoberfest ale. Gonna try to go for it this weekend-have not used the yeast before this batch. Theoretically should be good if I keep temp in low 60s, don't know if any others have tried this. US-05...

Hey cincybrewer, wanted to check with you as I am I thinking of starting to keg (I inherited two ball-locks), and happen to have the ge wmr04bapbb fridge that you said you've converted. You said you had to bend down the freezer, move the thermostat, and cut some of the shelves-which shelves are...

During the first year I brewed I was bottling straight from the spigot of the bottling bucket and didn't know any better. With all of that splashing I def had some of the cardboard taste, but even so it usually wasn't until 3-4 months of conditioning-so I feel more minor things that happen...

Same thing happened when I started to use a swamp cooler this spring. On other threads people have had success with not actually using the adhesive of the thermometer, simply taping it on the fermentor and that way you can take it off easily whenever you want to prevent damage. Of course you'll...

Yeah I am waiting until the hvac guy comes tomorrow to fix my A/C until I brew another batch. Swamp coolers for now!

Thanks for the info, and glad to hear the WLP080 preformed well both with and without a starter. I guess we still don't know what yeast the OP was planning on using, as well as his targeted OG. My recipe is shooting for 1.052, if I plan ahead enough ill prob still make a starter, but if the mood...

I was wondering this myself. I'm about to make a cream ale using the white labs cream ale blend (I think wlp080 off the top of my head). It is a ale/lager blend and didn't know if the starter would end up favoring production of one of the yeasts. Actually I was probably going to make a starter...

Like others have said, My Old Kentucky Homebrew on story is a good store. I would go there more but have been unable to resist austin homebrew's sales as of late.

hahaha that cracked me up...I may need that at a jimmy buffet concert...juuust joking

Sorry if I am hijacking this thread, but have a similar question. My cousin and I are going to be supplying the majority of the beer for our family reunion this summer. Both of us bottle currently but he is going to get set up to keg. He has a bunch of corny kegs he is lending me. Would it be...

I will have to agree NHL>NBA...but that will change if my blackhawks can't come back down 0-2. Unfortunately I will be enjoying my homebrews with the internet audio...don't have Versus! Derrick Rose is a beast though, go bulls.

This is a shot in the dark on your aftertaste problem, but definitely minimize your oxygenation post-fermentation. I was bottling directly from the spigot for TWO YEARS! Luckily about 6 months ago I got more serious about my brewing and happened to read Revvy's bottling tips, and picked up a...

Everything sounds tasty, would be a good excuse to get a 3rd (or 4th) fermentor to get a few of these going-though all would be great summer beers if I don't finish in time. I will see what comes in the AHS kits and maybe swap out hops to get more of certain characters to use as bases. Somehow...
