:( Ha all my beers are still in ferm stage. My bottles are running low.

I'd like to try that too, except its 15 minutes down the street from me and for whatever reason, I can't get stuff from them. It sucks.

Asheville is teh ****. I like Green Man IPA. I went by Pisgah Brewing a couple weeks back, and was surprised. Too bad we don't have anything cool like a little brewery in a warehouse or steel building like Pisgah or French Broad.

Thats cool, I have a ton of family in Ringgold. Are there any good breweries/brewpubs up that way? And I haven't had Terrapin's Monk's Madness, but I like the Monk's Revenge, ;) though not as much as Stone Cali Belg. Those Stone Brews are excellent, and your DFH collection is on point.

That is quite the list my friend, judging by the local brews from NC, I assume you are somewhere near Asheville. I've got a bunch of homebrews in the fridge right now: 6 Bastard Clones 12 1st try Pale ales 2 Too young Russian Imperial stouts but I've got a few aging: 2 750ml...

My favorite breweries in Asheville are French Broad and Pisgah. Bruisin ales is a must-visit. They keep an up-to-date instock list on their website, dwww.bruisin-ales.com check it out. I like Barley's Taproom the best, and Asheville pizza is good. There are several excellent breweries nearby...

Also no guru, but I brewed a pale ale also lately and had a similar issue. Mine had a banana estery nastiness initially and after bottle conditioning it for a couple more weeks, the yeast cleaned up and its very good now. So maybe its nothing that you thought it was, and its too young or the...

I just did my first as well. I took an Old Brown Dog Clone and adapted it to close to a Dogfish IBA. Hopped it and added barley and caramelized brown sugar. Probably overly complicated for the first OG. I don't know how well I did since my hydrometer rolled off the counter and smashed. I'm...

I really like that idea. I found one down the street for $50. I'm sure I'll get the bug like most on here and be converting it into a keezer when I get that advanced. Thanks all.

Thats exactly the information I was looking for. I'll pick up a cooler soon and maybe I'll be building a fermentation cooler once I get the hang of All-Grain.

Oh and I have a "fermometer" or whatever. Its on one of the primary's. From what I've read, they aren't too accurate, and I'm sure they'd just tell me how cold the wet towel is. But I might be wrong.

Yeah I'm new to brewing, but not forums. Only NOOBs fail at the search function. I've seen a bunch of different things with the towel and fan, I really just wanted to see if anybody is brewing in mid August like me, and knows that this trick should work. I dont want any more banana beers. Go Dawgs.

Ok here goes.... Up to this point, I've "brewed" two batches, the first one was the quick and dirty no boil prepackaged wort by "The Brew House," and the style was IPA. It fermented vigorously, apparently at too high of a temp, even for Coopers dry yeast, and after a couple weeks in the bottle...
