Deschutes can be REALLY bad. Typical wait for prime-time dining (5pm-9pm) Can be 45 minutes to an hour wait. Bridgeport can be that way a bit too, but not usually as bad. But thats for the main dining, you can always just walk into the bar and sit down if you find a table.

I live in Portland, And while I have been to both Deschutes breweries in both Bend and Portland, I like em both. Its brewed in Bend, yes... But the Portland location is one of my favorite brew pub experiences. Excellent Food, great service, best beer in town, and the location is really nice and...

You might be out of luck, but you won't know until you try it. I know my first brew I made some sanitation mistakes, but it turned out ok. Just let it ride and see what happens. Cleaning = Remove debris, and physical grim. Sanitizing = Removing MOST (not all) bacteria that might be present...

I wish they would updated Brew Pal to support the native iPhone 4 resolution. But for a newer brewer (look! im a poet), I find that Brew Pal gives me what I need to know.

Its amazing how much patience you will find you have after the first "panic" brew. I have found that i can easily let my brew do its thing without constantly checking in on it.

I find that when I used the yeast in a couple beer kits, the fermentation took a while to start showing VISIBLE signs.

Should I let it sit in the primary for a month, and then transfer it to a secondary for the second month and dry hop then?

What would you recommend dry hopping with? I'm a newbie. So what is the purpose of it? Would I just add dry hops to the fermenter?

I guess I should start another batch of beer just in case this one doesn't turn out ;)

That's what I was afraid of... So now I'm gonna have a red bitter IPA ;) haha

I was using the beer pal app on my phone and it said something to the tune of 108 IBU which seems high... But it also said I would be at 64 IBU if I did the recipe correctly.

Im doing an irish Red Ale The ingredients: 6lbs Light DME 5 oz Roasted Barley 5 oz Caramel malt 80L 5 oz Honey Malt 1 oz Magnum Hops (60 minutes) 2 oz Golding Hops (15 minute) 2 oz Willamette Hops (Post Boil) However... I added 2 oz of Magnus hops for the full boil on accident. How...

Haha! Gonna order 6! So then I can have Wort Squirter parties.

I used to live off Hereford and Oatfield. But now im right off Jennings Ave by McLoughlin.

I'd toast to that! By the way, You live in Gladstone. So do I! Nice to see some local homebrewers around me!

I'd say that would work the first 4-5 brews of a newer brewer. Just to make sure they don't miss a step. But once it becomes second nature, Drink up!

If I didn't have a blow-off tube on my porter, it would have made one of the largest messes on homebrew record. haha. For the first 24-36 hours I had krausen constantly coming out the blow-off tube. So its definitely my insurance as well. I put it on right as im getting ready to leave the carboy...

Perfect! Thank you.

Im new to kegging and I have been searching this site over and over, but most people here are doing something more complex than I want. Basically I want to do this: http://www.kegworks.com/product.php?productid=16419&cat=423&page=1 And i know I also will need some sort of tank to store...

Awesome, I really appreciate the advice. Im learning a lot quicker than I thought I would, but I love everything about brewing so far. Can't wait to keep going. And im glad I have this forum for advice!
