LMAO, I started the California last week and the Russian is just about at the two week mark in fermentation. You meet the dangdest people on here! :mug: BTW, The Russian was a violent fermenter that blew my bucket lid off. The hops plugged my airlock. When I put the California on I used a...

Once again, lots of good info. I have (for me) RI Stout, Black IPA(American Black Ale, IBA, or whatever the hell it is called...it's dark and hoppy with more malty goodness than a normal IPA), a Mr. Beer Lager, a Pale Ale, a California Pale, and a Brewers Best Traditional European Bock. As...

I am still taking notes but I am going to give the Heff a go(not to be mistaken with "The Hoff"). The Wit sounds good too. I will drink a Heff, but it is not my favorite and I have a feeling that I may get stuck with a lot whatever I decide to brew. Gonna talk to my brewing Bud tomorrow...

Last week I was experiencing a "violent fermentation" and switched to a blow-off tube...then the hops plugged up the air lock...then BOOM!! My youngest daughter was standing in the dining room (hardwood floors for easy clean-up) saying "Wow, dad, your beer got everywhere," and "I hope that...

Preach on brotha'!!!! :fro:

Wow! :rolleyes: Just offer the dude a nice cold homebrew and you are cool. Seriously though. My area of my state does not allow alcohol sales on Sunday...so I was wondering...can I buy a beer kit?:D

Good deal. i would not have guessed a true Heffe would inspire much interest. Very few of my friends share my love for IPA's so that was one i knew would have limited demand. Still, I will try the Heffe. I just wound't have thought...

I am brand new at this and let me tell you...it depends on the BEER...BREWER. As a young brewer my patience is directly proportional to the amount of MINIMALLY conditioned beer I have on hand. 2/2/a couple of days...Drink!!!:D Some math major out there could probably break down the numbers...

Keep 'em coming!! Thanks!

Relative owns the bar and has a homebrewers convention every month. As long as i buy food and pay the rental for the room it not a problem. Also, I get them started and then we head downstairs...he has over thirty taps and at least as many bottles.

It was just under 65 degrees so I let it go a little long. It tasted fine and the reading was good (would have to get up and get it and I am too lazy) so I am probably being paranoid. Also, there was no "spreading" growth pattern. I was very careful placing the frermenter and the bubbles were...

As a supervisor I want to have a "homebrew party" for my guys (and girl). They drink the Buds and Millers of the world butsome love new things while some are adverse to change. So, in the spirit of opening up new choices/tastes/ideas to them I have decided to have a "homebrew party." Myself...

Not sure if I am really this old or just this eccentric, but here goes: #1 Gordon Lightfoot Greatest Hits #2 Jim Croce Greatest Hits #3 Bob Dylan Greatest Hits Now, before any on of you whipper-snappers says anything my favorite workout bands are: Rage Against the Machine Disturbed...

My weekend starts and ends on Monday. Will be brewing an IPA from a Brewers Best Kit. August 1 is my AG start date. I have started getting the hardware ready, but until then I am doing kits. AG, can't wait!!! :rockin:

LOL. Now I really feel like the Noob I am. I looked at an "I#$%@" thread this week and the white stuff look of these worried the hell out of me. I have been primed because this was my experimental beer. I used an all Mr. Beer recipe and then did the exact same one with DME and SAFALE 50 as...

So, this is my third Mr. Beer brew, and my sixth brew altogether (three partials...two bottled and an Imperial Stout still cooking) and this is a first. So, I ask, with all the humbleness of a new brewer...is this an infection? http://www.flickr.com/photos/59500680@N04/5444058994/...

Doing a science project at the moment... I started with a Mr. B West Coast Pale Ale kit and no additional ingredients or equipment. It is bottle conditioning right now, but I wanted to do an actual taste test of the difference when using the recommendations on this forum. So, I brewed...

Since this is not a brewing issue I finally feel qualified to give my oppinion. So, let me be the first to say, okay! Great idea! The chain-pub that will soon be incorporated and take all free-will/ideas from would-be/wanna-be "good" beer brewers will be called the Snotgrass Pickle Pub and we...

That ^^^ sounds like the cats behind. I may be kegging sooner than I thought. I had no idea that you could do that with the kegs. My wife has been asking for a new fridge... STEELERS WIN!! :mug::ban::rockin::D

Thanks, Grid I plan on kegging sooner or later. At the moment I am really enjoying the process of brewing. Still, I have already seen a LIMFAC of my current plan. Not enough bottles. Of course, while my answer is to get more bottles by way of my favorite brews my lovely bride has another...
