Now that you mention it, there was a slight monkey urine flavor there. Spider Monkey to be specific. :D

I have three more batches in various levels of fermentation and I'm not hard up for good beer. I can just walk to the liquor store up the block for some Stone or Lagunitas. My point is that I'm gonna wait another few weeks before officially breaking into the batch. Better to have it in it's...

If you could describe "green beer" flavor how would you do it? I poured my first glass of South English Brown Ale tonight. I couldn't wait 3 weeks so after 11 days I opened my runt bottle (the last one filled before running out/3 quarters full.) I was relieved to hear the sound of C02...

I kinda regret it now. Look how clear this is. This was a sample off the top of the carboy at bottling time, so hopefully when I racked it to the bottling bucket I kicked up some yeast because this is pretty clear. It tasted great but it seemed to be missing some of that yeastiness of a...

Not a bad idea. :fro:

Anyone have a line on blank 4 & 6 pack containers? Call me petty but I hate to have my brews wearing another breweries logo. I don't know where to look. Thanks.

I my %&@# :eek:

Wow, I didn't realize how spoiled I am. Here in LA, most restaurants I go to have at least a couple micros. I'm shocked if a place doesn't, and that means I'm not drinking. I lived in SLC before that and didn't realize how great it was with all the brewpubs and Brewvies (movie theater with...

Thanks for the science, Revvy. That's awesome. I thought that might be the case. As far as the records, what do you want to know? They are circular, with grooves, and get this, they aren't read with lasers. ;) I've been collecting my whole life. I still have a couple of my Sesame...

It's an amazing smell.

It was an extract brew, so maybe the extract got darker in the boil. It sure tastes like hefe though. I'm stoked.

Racked to secondary. It seems a little dark but it looked amberish in the glass. OG 1.045 now 1.012. I tasted the sample and it was amazing. Definite banana esters If it gets better from here, ah man, it will be good. My only fear is secondary contamination, but I scrubed it well...

Scary Nixon sticker. The others are way cool.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

I read here, from various posters, that a hefeweizen is better young. Is this true and what's the recommended shelf life if so? 6 months? Not that my beer will last that long. :tank: I'm a green brewer so that's why I'm asking. Edit: Sorry, I meant for this post to be in the General Beer...

After making this label in class, a bunch of my friends said they would most definitely buy it if I brewed it. Then I found out it's illegal to sell home brew. Dammit. In reality, the only beer I've ever enjoyed was micro-brew. That and Pacifico, but that was in Mazatlan with a six foot...

I like it in black and white. Real nice.

I decided to go with this.

Maybe your wort hasn't mixed with the water well enough.

I drink Pacifico when I want to do the lime thing. My dad is from Mazatlan, home of Pacifico, and I lived there as a baby. Kind of a local, nostalgic thing. It kills Corona by a long shot. Last time I was in Mazatlan, I saw a flat bed delivery truck with cases of Pacifico, and the delivery...
