So I got my package a few days ago, and man, I can't believe I waited this long. All I've tried so far is the Goteborgs Rape, and I really like this stuff. Apart from no longer having the sandpaper lip and the spit cups, the taste is great and I have no craving for the Skoal. Thanks JoeMama!

How about shredding some rice paper, you can make a Budweiser clone:)

So I finally went ahead and placed my first order (the american starter pack). I figure it's time to quit the Skoal, again.

The SWMBO lives in Hillcrest, I'm hopping on a plane in 2 hours and I'll be out there from 4/30-5/7, let me know if we're meeting up somewhere.

This. We're about due.

I force carb, but my pole has nothing to do with it.

Check out Milltown in Carrboro (it's adjoined to Chapel Hill), they have a great Belgian selection, as well as some good local brews. Other places with a good selection will local favorites are Tyler's (especially the Durham one), Brixx and Carolina Brewery (they make a few tasty beers) on...

Any pilsner. I just can't get myself to enjoy this style.

Happy Birthday fellow Lenape Alum!

Welcome. Generally, not that often. Beer is pretty forgiven. In over 60 batches, I've had only a few that have gotten contaminated, and I can usually trace back to to where that happened (not fully clean bottles, dirty beer lines, etc.).

Welcome! I'll be moving out there in about a year.

My girlfriend lives 2 blocks from there, so I'm laughing at that pretty hard.

I use Beer Alchemy, I'm pretty pleased with it.

Dancing in the Dark - Bruce Springsteen

I'd recommend a Viszla. Very friendly, great with kids, are naturally bird dogs and generally don't get too big.

I think I've often used Caramunich I in the stead of Crystal 40. There is some redundancy among the grains though.

Good job on your first AG. As far as efficiency goes, consistency is key. Getting a high efficiency is great, but getting the same efficiency every time goes a long way in terms of designing and brewing great beers.

No worries, it'll be fine in the carboy for a week with the gelatin.

I agree, leaving the beer on the hops for more than a few weeks can lead to vegetal or grassy flavors. Personally, I wouldn't do it, but if you want to try it in a few bottles, go for it. I would make sure you cool them for a while before you open them to make sure you crash out all the hops...

RDWHAHB. A little bit of oxygenation likely won't hurt.
