Nah, I don't keg yet so I just *gasps* leave it in the bottle.

You didn't answer the question, sir.

Am I the only one that likes to crack open a homebrew in the shower? Trying to figure out if that is weird or not. Sorry for the tmi.

Blue Moon is one of those beers that has absolutely nothing off-putting about it, but nothing exciting about it either. I would never shy away from one, but wouldn't seek it out either. I've even been known to...looks around for beer snobs...put an orange in it. : )

I realize this has been talked about a lot, but can someone give me an actual parts list for the ball valve assembly? Will be using the 10 gallon Rubbermaid drink cooler from Home Depot. I am planning on buying a false bottom, not converting the plumbing tube. Or maybe not? Does the plumbing...

She is just extremely cheap (maybe frugal is a nicer word?). She grew up really poor so she isn't used to being able to spend money. Also, she despises the smell of boiling wort and hops. I wasn't trying to portray her as a witch that never lets me do anything fun.

I should have noted this on the first post, I have an extremely cheap wife that does not support my brewing hobby, so I can not purchase another primary at this time. Am I the only one with a wife that hates this hobby?

So, I am seeing more and more that veteran homebrewers shun the secondary fermentor, and maybe one day I will, too, but here is why I always use one. There are two reasons, and it's actually more of a 1a and 1b. It all comes down to my set up. I have a 5 gallon carboy and a 3 gallon...

Well, that's what I get for not doing research and assuming things. I should have made parameters before posting. The point was supposed to be like BMC and worse, or something that is priced higher because of perception, but actually isn't very good like Corona and Heineken. I am surprised at...

I'd put Yeungling in that category. Anything below 70 on BA. Not sure if it is, but I'd imagine it's close.

85.

Yeah, Sam Adams doesn't belong in this category at all. Without looking, I think Boston Lager is like an 87 on Beer Advocate. I might be wrong.

Mine is about 15 miles, which in St. Louis can be 20 minutes or 45, depending on traffic.

Oh, I forgot all about Black Crown. That's a solid BMC. Pricewise here though that and New Belgium are the same price so that's an obvious choice.

Yeah, The Beast is my cutoff. Literally the only beer I've ever had that I wouldn't drink if it was free. I'd need to be making some money. Lol. I can handle Natty, Keystone, Bud Ice, whatever. Not The Beast. More power to you, though.

I've actually never had Genny. I've heard decent things about it for the price, though.

I would probably go Budweiser, PBR, Coors Light as my top 3.

This doesn't have anything to do with homebrewing, which I realize is slightly inappropriate on this forum. But when you get in the situation where you are out of homebrew and the bank account is looking slim, what crappy beers do you guys like? Or hate the least... PBR, Natty, Keystone...

Any tips on hop varieties on an Oatmeal Coffee Stout. The recipe I have put together right now is Cascade for 60 and Willamette for 5. Comes in at 31.2 IBUs which is in the range I want. Just wondering what your thoughts are on those flavors mixing with the coffee, chocolate malt, and oatmeal...

I'd say just take a break and come back to them later. I find that if I drink IIPAs and nothing else for a while, all other beers kinda taste empty, which isn't a good thing because I love a solid Blonde Ale, Pale Ale, Kolsch, (insert any light bodied, moderately hopped ale you want). That being...
