And that's why I use American Express: no preset limit and pay it off every month. Served my wife and me very well for the last 9 years of marriage.

Learn something new everyday, I suppose. I've come to the conclusion that 'Hooplehead' is the perfect term for 15-20% of the folks that inhabit East Texas with my family and me: the fat ladies with the virginia slim cigarette talking on the cell phone driving 25 under the speed limit, the...

Thankfully I deal with more idiots than a**holes

They've been playing it on Directtv 101...I've been calling everyone a hooplehead under my breath all day. Not sure why.

has a nice ring to it. Just sayin'.

Academy has some great prices on pots as well. You'll need to dig around a bit...it can be a bit of a disorganized mess.

Four no-chill beers here: Scottish 60/ extract: yeah, it's beer. No worries Centennial Blonde: No chill haze, not bad at all Mostly Dead Guy: Very smooth and complex, too dark to notice chill haze Pale Rye Ale: Just went into bottles Saturday Brewing a couple of lagers this weekend: we'll...

Boundaries are meant to be pushed; that is best achieved through experimentation. I don't think any one is going to quibble about a couple of IBU, gravity points, or SRM. If I wanted a commercial beer I'd go buy one and save the time :mug:

Welcome to TX and HBT

This is finally carbed and drinkable: it turned out very well, but the recipe isn't quite done yet. I like the hop presence a great deal, but it turned out black as midnight :eek: Finished at 1.016 Next time this brew is up:

Dark Munich is out (it was the Gambrinus 30 L). Weyermann 9L Munich (whatever you want to call it) is in.

Alright; the order is on the way from BMW. I'm going to go with option 1 and move the hops to 1.25 oz Perle (8%) at 60. WLP833 for the yeast. Brewing Saturday with a Vienna. Christmas and Thanksgiving beers on the same day at the end of August :rockin:

Or would I be wasting time? $25 on my local CL

And video.

My 30 quart pot cost $20 at academy sports. It's working for now. (Still wish I had a 40-60 qt pot though)

Is that the 'Snow Day Bock' that you just put up?

You aren't, by chance, running CFLs in those fixtures are you? They can do weird things on dimmers.

Upon further investigation, the Dark Munich is only good up to 30% of the grsit. Now there are two directions to go: Option 1 6.5 lbs Vienna 6.5 lbs Munich 1 lb Melanoidin 2 oz Dehusked Carafa III or De-bittered black (trying to minimize roasty/burnt flavors) 1.070 OG, 16 SRM...

Good question on the diastic power of the Dark Munich...I'll need to investigate that a bit, thank you. FWH is percived as about a ~20 min addition according to my reading (I also no-chill, so it makes the conversion easy :fro:). I've FWH'd a couple of beers now and been very pleased with...

I use a silicone oven pad for 'pressing' when BiaB.
