So I just took my first gravity reading. OG was ~ 1.090 and its around 1.028. This also means I had the first taste that would hint what this beer is going to be like. It was phenomenal, I wanted to steal a whole half pint from the fermenter after the first sip. We'll see how it is when it's...

You should get a mash tun, after that a turkey fryer. Those are the 2 best things you could get at this point IMO.

But do remember this is a 10g batch.

This is probably what I am going to do if it's awful. Unfortunately they are the only place that has brewing supplies in the area, and they use interns to take care of home rew orders. They are primarily a brewery.

So I brewed a 10g batch of a bier de Garde recipe from the book brewing classic styles today. The grain bill called for: 23lbs 2 row 6lbs Munich 1.5lbs cara Vienna 2 lbs cane sugar 2oz black patent So the lady at the brewery didn't notice that the black patent was oz instead of lbs and...

I did this with some bittering hops. Just boiled chinook hops in water, and added the hop water later on. It turned out horrible, a completely different flavor that boiling it with the wort.

i just googled scottish eggs, and now i know what i'll be having for dinner on sunday. That sounds amazing!

I am officially stealing this name.

Ok, so i am brewing a batch of mexican light lager for a friend of mine. 5# 2 row 4# flaked corn 1/2# rice hulls 1tsp amylase enzyme 1/2 oz cascade(60 min) 1/2 oz cascade(flameout) Safale s33 Now i know these particular ingredients aren't to style, but he just wants me to brew...

Search for it, I think I have read 100 threads that are titled the same, and seen 1000 of them. This might be the most repeated topic besides the "oops" threads.

I think of it like coffee. The leftover grounds from the previous day aren't going to taste as good, but I'm not gonna throw the grounds out. If the LHBS gave me an extra pound of crushed crystal malt. I'll throw it in the closet until i need it. But before i bought my mill, the master...

Server/Bartender, and Real Estate Investor/Landlord. I also have been helping my brother get his photography business off the ground the ground lately. With all that, I feel like I have no time to brew, or finances to support it either. Dreams of owning a restaurant are dying slowly.:mad:

If you believe that some laws associated with vice are wrong, you can choose to ignore them. Don't be shocked though if you get punished for it though. As for discussing this kind of stuff on the forum, the same principle applies. A lot of people here are very scornful and believe such...

I would have used pilsner malt as my base, instead of regular 2 row. $0.02

Such talk is scornful!:rolleyes:

I fell on my dog who is laying beneath me because i was laughing so hard. You should put a disclaimer on that.:D

As far as bottling goes, I always regret not using a secondary. The larger yeast clump in the bottle always has my friends questioning the brew.

I enjoy a pale ale with some sweet orange peel and some flaked wheat.

+1, and congratulations......******** I'm jelous:mug: but seriously congrats.

Uh, wow, is this gonna turn into a "My drill instructor is harder than yours" argument? Crap like this is why I can't mention being a vet to anyone. Once again i should have omitted that part here. I don't think i have ever pulled the "I'm a veteran, you can't do that/say that to me" card...
