I think statistics are just that. No one can tell you if you drink 2 beers a day your going to become an alcoholic and if someone told me that. I probably think there wasting time making up this statistic. My neighbor drinking 4 beers a day and has for 45 years and hes is healthy as a horse and...

Never had the shakes. Never hungover. **** I get up at 5:30 during the spring/summer to go fishing. I think people take this subject to far. I appreciate your feedback but 2-3 beers a few times a geeek isn't going to kill you. If you're an alcoholic you're probably not brewing your own beer...

Chadwick good post. I agree with you beer is art. At least good beer. I do drink 5 sometimes on a weekend but it's usually over a 6 hour period. I really love drinking a few good ones while I'm bottling or brewing. Playing vinyl records and chilling with the wife.

Tagz you obviously didn't read my post very well.

I have an internal clock that after about 5 beers I hit a wall. I honestly get sick of beer at that point. I haven't been drunk in a long time. Sorry to bring up such a touchy subject guys. I respect everyone's views and if you don't drink a beer everyday or you have more then I do I honestly...

I agree Pre66. I know I am not an alcoholic and I don't feel like I am in danger of becoming one. Do I like good beer yes can I stop when I want yes. I think a lot people over react to alcohol. Do think everyone has there own limits and you do need to respect beer or any other type of alcoholic...

Sometimes I don't have any desire to have a beer. I went 6 days just last month I woke up and felt like ummm no beer today and then if followed for the next few days then all the sudden I wanted a beer. I guess I haven't really ever thought about it. My wife thinks my drinking is fine. I mean I...

Ummm I have also had my doctor tell me 2-3 beers a day is ok for you just as long as you can control it.

I just started brewing around 2 months ago and I am curious if you guys have this problem to. I have a lot of family members and everyday people I meet who think I am an Alcoholic because I love beer. It really upsets me because I think there is a difference between appreciating beer and being...

its a 3/16 line. And I don't have a tower everything is sitting inside the refrigerator/keggerator

10 ft brand new line

I let it sit it the keggerator fridge so probably 38 degrees. I screwed up but oh well I will just pour it and let it settle. It still taste awesome

Yes I did do that

I just kegged my first homebrew last Tuesday it is a Belgian blonde. I let it sit at 30 psig for 3 days because I ended up having to work late a few days. Anyways I am almost positive I way over carbonated the beer. I first pour was pure foam. My question is how to resolve this issue. Last night...

Actually this is what I found out it was default at 30. I set it to 75 and actually got 82% so that's good. Can't wait to try one.

I am planning on doing a partial mash this week and I am using brewtoad and brewers friend to calculate my recipe. There both way different on the ABV. This my attempt at an Irish red Ale it will be a 5.5 gallon batch My fermentables are 5 Lbs of LME-Maris otter light 4 Lbs of American 2...

I am going to brew an Irish red beer and decided to do a yeast starter with my white labs liquid yeast. I got a set of instructions from my home brew shop that I shop at and it says to use 2 cups of water and 1/2 cup of dme and boil for ten mins cool down to room temperature and pitch the yeast...
