Thanks. It's a cold, cold winter in north/central Utah right now!

Thank you. I plan to rack to the carboy tomorrow and store at around 50 F for a while then.

I brewed and pitched an Altbier from Midwest Supplies on January 8. Instructions for the kit are here. My brew notes are here. Everything seems to be going fine so far, but I have a question about what steps I should take next with this beer. After doing a bit of searching and reading about this...

I'm trying to decide between EdWort's Apfelwein, and Brandon O's Graff (insipired by Ed's Apfelwein). I guess the advantage of Ed's is that it's easier (no boiling) and the advantage of Brandon's is that it's a bit smoother going down and doesn't need as long to condition? Ultimately, I'll...

Great! Good to hear. Thanks everyone. I probably should have posted this in the beginning/noob forum. I'm in that category. If a moderator reads this, please feel free to move it for me.

In your experience, does head retention suffer when using Whirlfloc or other refining agents? What about body, mouthfeel, and taste? I've read a lot about Whirlfloc, and it seems clear (ha) that it helps reduce or even eliminates cloudiness. But I was listening to the June 10, 2010 edition of...

My wife made fish tacos today, and I found myself thinking that Corona with lime would go well with it. I probably haven't bought my last Corona after all. Are there any ale styles that would pair well with fish tacos?

I bought brewpal, and it seems really nice. It can do a lot. However, I could not find anyplace in brewpal to indicate I do a partial volume boil and then add top-off water in the fermenter. I've read that partial boil effects certain things such as IBU calculations, so I assume the brewpal IBU...

Yeah, I think the answer is neither. At flameout is still too hot. Here is an older thread on the same topic with a lot of responses. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/why-not-boil-honey-76634/

That's good news. My wife and I enjoy his show. I hope that means he'll make new episodes. Drinking Made Easy is fun and all, but seems to be missing something Three Sheets had. International travel, obviously, but something else I can't quite identify that made that show better, imo.

I've read that liquid extracts darken in storage and when exposed to heat. It may be that online vendors are hesitant to stock pale liquid extract for that reason. Perhaps you could try a light or very light dry malt extract (dme) instead, such as this one...

It's not that I wouldn't drink a Corona. It's just that there are so many other beers that I'm aware of now. :) For old times sake, I'll probably ask for one the next time I'm at a poker table in Vegas, just for old times sake and because I know they have it.

Sound good. :) They sell fresh honey at Winco? I want to try making mead eventually. I wonder if that would be a good place to get the honey. I think my first choice though will be my friend in Logan who keeps hives on his farm property. I just need to wait for the right time of year to ask him...

If nothing else, you'll be covered if your wort chiller malfunctions. :)

Howdy neighbor! I like the "What would Jesus brew?" in your profile. Seems like anywhere I live in Utah (and I've lived in Orem too) I am across the street from a stake center and can see three churches from my house. Sometimes all you can do is RDWHAHB to survive here. :mug:

LOL...the one I'm talking about comes all the way from Lehi...but still part of Happy Valley. Seriously, there are a handful of us at least. :D

I used to think I liked Corona. Then I got into craft beers and it opened up my world. But when a certain friend of mine who likes Corona comes over to our place, I still buy it before he comes. The last couple times he's come over, I've had a mix of Corona and craft beers, and on his most...

I often drink beer while playing poker, so the Belgian Wit that is getting close to bottling is "Bad Beat Wheat" and the Altbier I made last Saturday is "All-In Alt". I've only made two so far, but I'll probably keep with the poker theme. I think the advice given in this thread to wait until...

I'd say you were on to something, except it sounds like this beer comes in cans.

I think that only works if you're 111 or younger.
