    Never had a NEIPA

    there is a fine line in playing golf and drinking beer. There is a buzz zone that keeps one loose and still accurate. but it is a small window and i usually over shoot it.

    Never had a NEIPA

    I would say two hearted is a great example of American IPA. rich malt and hoppiness and they compliment each other. I look at beer similar to cooking. Each ingredient should not over power the other, but there again there are some dishes that say this is garlic this and one would come to...

    Never had a NEIPA

    like blue cheese. some love it some hate it. Not a big IPA fan overall as the many out there are never great or to style in terms of traditional IPA. NEIPA sub genre is fairly new, and people do like them. Although I have never tried one. With everyone's taste being a little different is...

    My $15 pint of beer today

    yeah the living wage. as far as the tip% i dont get out much so i am usually generous. probably not 20% unless the service is fantastic. either way i complain when the general can of beer hit the 3.50 mark and with subpar craft beer i think they are out of hand. i assume they rent the...

    Complicated Immersion Chiller

    i bet it cools fast. I like the simplicity of immersion chillers and wish i had one for my keggle when doing hopped up beer. The therminator I use is very efficient but it did have its growing pains.

    Brewing right now over shot gravity by 6 points - help

    Yep no worries as stated. Only a problem when short even then dry malt extract is nice to have on hand.

    Need help kicking the bottles

    is this more of a household "financial" squirm or more of a this is what I feel squirm. If in a tight budget, then probably not best to do. If because one does not like it that is a different ball game. I am not one for marital advice. to find a balance is tough. But ask your self this...

    New post a picture of your pint

    Tried to see how much special B I could get away with. And would not go more than this malty pale ale on the low-mid range ibu. It's nice rich with bitter finish.

    Broken Glass Carboy Horror Stories Compendium

    many years ago the best ones seemed to be made in Mexico. They had the least amount of air pockets and heavier thickness of glass. those 15 gallon demijohns are scary but never had an issue with them as long as lifting with the basket. still have the glass but for short ferments i will use...

    What is the most expensive steak?

    yep. Not sure how big retailers do it but people i know that have purchased pure wagyu comes with a certificate of authenticity; of course i am not sure where they purchased it from so i don't know the full aspect. Here is the difference between Japan and American

    What is the most expensive steak?

    both responses are fair enough. just make sure everyone knows that the Wagyu name/breed is purely out of Japan and only can get it from Japan. Most stuff sold in U.S. is half breed which still has remarkable marbling but doesn't compare to pure breed Wagyu. it's the marketing scheme that is...

    How long does it take to keg

    i agree now days the total expense of kegging would be a high cost. i was lucky and salvaged a bunch of pin locks from scrap yard at 8$ a pop. the cost of equipment now days has almost doubled for most things since i started. with cleaning kegs i do a very hot water oxyclean ran thru the keg...

    How long does it take to keg

    also note time considered after every bottle drank and rinsed out then washed. reusing bottles is great but the amount of extra water used is actually more wasteful than kegging. additional fridges now days are very efficient to run and are a mute expense in my opinion. saving the planet one...

    How long does it take to keg

    by your self kegging is way more efficient. using two people for bottling would equate to one person kegging probably still faster kegging. disregarding the cleaning of the fermenter as this would need to be done in both situations. as fast as my 1/2" hose will transfer to keg is how fast...

    Beer Smith - strike temps way low?

    using their default keggle setup was spot on for me. Love the software; but only utilize it for recipe building. brew day is still on paper logged in a binder. if i had a printer maybe would just use the software and print results for logging. I am old fashioned and i know my paper notes...

    Simplifying brewing

    bottling is not terrible, but get a bench top bottler. my dad found a bench top from the 50s i cleaned up and used to bottle the 130 gallons of cider in my profile picture. of course i have moved to kegging. the up front expense and space is the hurdle. but i have left a kicked keg for a...

    New post a picture of your pint

    Moose Drool is still their best beer and since it was probably one of the first semi local beer for ND it has a place for me. will have to look into brewing next. The vague memories of 5$ pictures at local Vets Club will be tough to beat years ago.
