yeah, plastic tonic water bottles work great, and cheap too!

I fly for a living. I take my homebrew with me many times, and bring beers rangeing from 12 oz to bombers to belgians I bought over seas back home. I always pack them in my spare socks and use undershirts to stick around them. Never once have I had a problem, and never once have I had one...

don't know about that one, but if you're looking for a good IPA try the Can you brew it version of Green flash IPA, it's awsome.

Can you brew it did a show on moose drool. They said it was a spot on clone. Dont know about this one though

Kind of like me on New Years Day. Our local Brewpub let me have a big 'ole yeast dump from their lager (that's all they do). Used it to do a Dortmunder which turned out great. Anyways On NY day I made a light lager for my fathers birthday party. I may have mashed too low, but not positive...

I worked in the fisheries up in Alaska and this was my first "real" beer. Loved this stuff and have been trying to recreate it ever since. I think I'm on my 4th batch and it's turned out pretty good. 10.0 Lbs. American 2-row 0.50 Lbs. Crystal 60 0.50 Lbs Crystal 120 0.25 Lbs Munich...

Hands down, Dude's Lake Walk Pale Ale

Well, for me it depends on keg rotation I suppose. I have thrown batches out, and I have had batches win 1st and BOS. If it tastes like crap for me and I'm sure it wont get any better, if I need the keg, out it goes. good beer, bad beer, if I need it, I get it!

just FYI, you don't need to have the beer cold to force carb it, although it does help. It will need to get cold after though for serving and so the co2 stays in solution

have you guys listened to the Brewing Network's "Can you Brew It" They did a run of Deschutes beer. They didnt clone Mirror pond, but came close and with suggested tweaks, I bet it would be damn good. Their Green Flash was dy-no-mite!

Fire, I'm near Riverside Hospital. You should check out SODZ. Good bunch of guys, and talk shop like none else. There is another club that is near Marysville, I think OhioBrutus rins that one.

Loved this beer last year, but this years didnt do it for me. Not as hoppy in my opinion, almost like a brown ale. Thought it might be old, but wasnt

If you're giving these out as gifts for Christmas, why would you want money?

yeah, I know about the cold and snow. From Chardon originally. If you have the kegerator, why not just throw it in there? I know it may not be set to the coldest temp, but it'll do the job too.

I'm from columbus and did this 2 years ago with a schwartzbier. Took 1st in NHC 1st round for our region. Freezing wont hurt the beer, but may rupture the keg if it freezes solid.

yeah, all good advice. Make the starter. Jamil states that yeast is at peak knockin boots after 18 hrs, so 16 is close enough for brewing and government work. Pour the whole thing in.

from Zymurgy jan/feb 09 Dear Professor article "add 4 to 8 oz of aromatic and/or honey malt to your lagers. Also adding 2 to 4 oz of belgian special B to light lagers will give complexity that can bring out graininess." He also says use german grown hops, and use a munich type yesast.

There was a question about this in an old zymurgy mag a couple of months ago. same question but as it related to the grainyness in Gordon Biersch beers. Have to look it up, but papazan said to add a bit ___________ grain. I'll look it up and replace the ___ with the grain.

so, then, ummm....whats the question?

There's 2 LHBS in the columbus area, well actually 3 but 1 just opened up. Used to go for everything I needed. After doing a batch of doppelbock that cost upwards of $75 and when I asked about the price the response I got was "well you're using a half bag of grain", I started looking...
