Ok, I saw the video and for me I disagree with the concept and premise, but as stated by McKnuckle, I want the best homebrew I can get. The yeast can take up to 2 weeks to clean the acetaldehyde and diacetyl from your beer and that is just one issue. Again, however, this may not bother most...

Well, I mean, for 1000 bucks and some blow I could get some people to take care of all that for ya. b^^

What did you find out about the difference between Cry and Lupomax? Was there a major processing difference, or perhaps just a quality difference in aroma that made your nipples hard?

Whoops, been drinking! XD

Thats a lot of dark malt in a stout to me, but perhaps you only need one dark malt (roasted or chocolate, blat patent, carafa III etc..) around 8oz to a pound and then use C120. Carafa III is not gonna help and Blackprinz is really just color and little flavor (as stated above). I guess I ponder...

Looking to try all kinds of experiments out with Cryo Hops... from straight use to dry hopping in SMASH beers. What are your guys' thoughts on em?

It could always be worse. A homeless man could of pinched a loaf in your kettle, your grainfather could have pulled a knife on you, and your wife could have even told the minions to HIDE your airlocks for fun. Be glad you got through it and prepare for the next HARDCORE BREW!

For me, I like my smaller one. I brew more often and experiment more frequently. That is a preference but if you are set on big batches, I say go for it, but at the end of the day I like to play around with stuff.... and sometimes myself. :D

I'd say I have to agree with the longer fermentation. I mean, just because you CAN do something doesn't mean that you SHOULD. Even cheap commercial largers and low brow ales need at least two weeks to finish fermenting unless you somehow reach that coveted 1.010 in SMASH beer format. The concern...

I use sugar frequently with beers but I need to explain. Turbinado sugar is the standard and I do it at about 15 minutes left in the boil when I use it, but I have subbed it out for a better option. Coconut sugar (specifically coconut palm sugar) is the most superior sugar to use outright in...

My yeast prices are still 4.99 to 6.99 for Safale, Lallemand, Mangrove Jack. Perhaps your area just raising the price? I did notice morebeer the prices are the same EXCEPT for the organic crap. But I had organic yeast looked at by a few biochemist pals of mine who I play table games with (and...

This is the first SMASH beer I am doing on Tuesday, I am attempting SMASH beers with a schmorgasboard of hops I have laying around. This goal is to try and do better taste profiling, for me, on some of these hops as I also have experimental hops and hops less ventured (like Belma, Idaho 7, Zeus...

Brewing this monstrosity, with the thought of putting it on Nitro. I got 7 lbs of free cocoa nibs so I vacuum packed em and am thinking of recipe ideas for em. This is a one of them based of my oatmeal stout recipe, which really, I may not need the oatmeal now that I think about it... could put...

Thanks for the advice, Ill keep you guys updated . :D

To be perfectly honest I got into homebrewing for the same reason. Now, to be fair, my expenses on hardware paid off after two years because I don't really buy beer from stores or breweries anymore, though a lot of breweries are in my area (17) and they give me free beer to taste what they have...

Sorry I have not posted in QUITE a while, but I have been really busy with work... and brewing.... and drinking. :D I brewed a barleywine to 26.6% I call The Jacktardius Maximus. It is my pride and joy, but that stays in my vault for now. ;) My itinerary is pretty massive going forward in...

Im the worst ******** to ask, because I only post and do light reading on Homebrewtalk almost exclusively. I just don't have much to say as I do weird brewing crap and a lot of experimental crap.

I know I don't post regularly and when I share recipes they are always mad science like creations that should be abominations, but they turn out amazing and I win awards for making them and I am a level 3 Cicerone so I have a pretty good idea about what I am tasting. With that said, I need to...

I'll be honest. I worked in a brewery and made many award winning beers. NONE of them were IPAs or Pale ales and I was brought in as the specialty beer guy. The irony is that my beers outsold the IPAs (hard to believe I know), but they outsold the IPAs because my beers were actually good and...
