Theres an oktoberfest lagering now that required an enhanced double decoction. In the future I'd like to try doing a split batch one with decoction the other smash to see what changes in the glass.

Lots of excellent advice and suggestions here. So a bottle shop shopping list: (milk stout) (Oud bruin) Rodenbach (red) Goose Island(ipa) Victory Prima (pils) Troegs Perpetual/nugget nectar/pale ale (ipa/I amber/ale) Nosferatu (red ale) Lagunitas wtf (american strong brown ale) Bells...

These replies were all way better than I could have hoped for. Really. LMFAO First two were extract, next ten were all-grain. As for asking my friends what to brew, well that's a lost cause since the answer is either going to be miller, bud, or heineken. I do actually like beer but my...

Nothing conclusive either way so far. The ginger ale was so carbonated as soon as you popped the top the bottle would empty itself with an 8in fountain. Thats the heineken bottles both with and without parafilm. I'll check out a few of the stouts conditioning now to see if theres a difference...
