    Did someone/something sh!t in my beer?

    My first thought as well. What's the yeast and the temp?

    Dopplebock Ale

    Something super clean that attenuates pretty well. My vote goes for Pacman if you can get it. Keep that fermenter as cool as you can. Isn't there a high gravity Belgian yeast out right now as one of the special editions? That might be interesting on the cool side as well.

    How to tell if a brew batch is safe to drink?

    You're beer is safe. The worst that will happen is it will be too sour to drink. (here comes some one with a useful cut-n-paste reply about the safety of homebrew in 3...2...1 :D). If you're new to homebrew, take it easy once you start drinking them to (a) make the batch last a little longer...

    Wife's reaction to new brewing hobby?

    My wife's reaction? Bemused indifference. She gets a day to skedaddle to the big city once a month and visit with her mother (who gets to play with the kids) and I get a day alone to quietly contemplate brewing beer. Works out great for both of us. We just celebrated out 9th anniversary and...

    Do you have your strike water dialed in yet?

    Are you stirring the water in your HLT before taking the temp? When I have my burner going there is a difference top to bottom in temp that will throw everything off. Stirring in the HLT seems to help. Never missed a temp by more than a degree. (I use a spreadsheet for my calcs)

    Pitch stout on Dead Guy cake?

    You could always just pitch a small portion of the slurry. Check the Mr Malty Pitching Rate Calculator for the right amount (use pitching from slurry).

    Looking at going AG

    Green Bay Rackers--Mash Calculators <-- use the Can I mash it? Calculator to determine how big your cooler should be. Look up a few recipes you would like to brew and use those grain bills. (note also that many coolers won't hold their rated capacity since the lid counts too ;) ) Or, since...

    Whats your favorite food with a beer???

    Pizza. It is possible to drink beer without eating pizza, but to eat pizza without drinking beer? Are you mad?

    Motherf*ckin' Cake Shows!

    Ice Road Truckers fails because nothing ever happens. Oh they drive around on slippery crap for a couple of months but it's mostly low shots of trucks passing and that same under the ice shot repeated ad naseum. At least something happens every once in a while on Deadliest Catch (it doesn't...

    Who rides a motorbike ? check in

    Snafu: I love my bike. Nowhere near 48k on her but I just commute on her mostly. Broke my clutch cable about a year ago which made for a very exciting then very boring morning. Voltage regulator went bad in the first 500 miles but no worries getting it replaced. Gobs of power and torque...:D

    State Fair Beer Competion -- Blind Tasting?

    1.50!! :eek: I bet you could walk on that stuff. (That makes the Mr. Malty calc give some interesting answers!)

    Do brewers get drunk alone?

    Wait a sec...wheels spinning...so, let me get this straight: it is somehow wrong to get drunk alone? Man, all those country songs have been lying to me all those years. :mad: hMGpGZvr-G0

    Who rides a motorbike ? check in

    '05 Victory Hammer. 1st bike, 4 years old. I knew SWMBO would only ever let me buy 1, so I got the one I wanted the first time. Most memorable experience? Having the paramedics call SWMBO on the way to the ER after that B***H pulled out in front of me coming out of Walmart.

    No Chill Results Thread - Post your good or bad notes here.

    Do yourself a favor a leave near boiling wort out of the carboys (glass or BB) :eek: I don't even airlock mine (I use an bucket)-- I just stick a thermometer in the airlock hole and let it go. When I'm feeling adventurous, I use some sanitized foil over the hole. If you have one of...

    What's your occupation: Engineer or Non-Engineer

    Why does everyone keep asking that?

    What's your occupation: Engineer or Non-Engineer

    Engineers are much more interesting than those who are jealous of them ;)
