Well, we tried it last night. We wanted to get some Bud Light so we could try the bittering extracts on a neutral base but all my Bud Light in the basement already has some dry hopping in it. ;-) So we went with our mildest beer, Dirty Blonde. The results: First off, the company we were...

Well, we moved about 10 bbls to secondary on Saturday and brewed up 10 more. It was a long, but productive day. I have to make an epic grain order this week. We need to brew up the blonde ale again, it's getting low. Also need to brew some more Porter soon. (Who knew the porter would do so...

I had the surgery on Friday last week. That part was awesome. I missed all of it and woke up well and truly drugged. By say Sunday things began to suck. Never because of pain, but because of blockage. I'm not supposed to blow my nose. And I'm one of those passive aggressive "ok, I WON'T...

Sinoplasty sucks... That is all.

I wasn't kidding about the world ending. Went in for a minor surgery today, (my second in my life.). I had a sinoplasty. Basically the surgeon improved my deviated septum (broken twice in college playing ball.). He also reduced my turbinates which are basically fatty masses in front of your...

I'll be there. We aren't doing a booth this year. Not enough folks know about us. We'd just be a drop in the sea. However we are competing two products. Our Stout and our Porter. I'll post our results. I would be happy to meet up with anybody who is at the festival. I'll be there with...

Well, that went well... We brewed up 5 gallons of Sunburn and put it on as a "tester". It ran out in about 3 hours. I guess we'll have to go and make some more. We did get feedback on the Serrano beer though. It's not quite hot enough. The answer... upgrade to habanero's ... In other news...

Sorry, been gone a bit. Had a vacation n'at. Remember that IPA that sat on the cake a bit too long? Well, say hello to "Sunburn". Our newest addition to the Muddy Creek Family. You got lemons, make Lemonade. Not literally of course, we already have Lemonade... in this case, you add some...

Oh first off Bosh, they notice! They notice right away. I have found it's best to be very forthcoming. We've been fortunate in that we've only had to outright dump out one batch so far. We've actually talked to quite a few breweries around us according to what we're told the S.O.P. in this...

I wish you the best of luck lstrowge! Couple updates. As you see I've been "out" for a week or two. We've had a bunch of stuff going on. I had a new account open up and I had to get them set up and since we are self-distributing that means "Yours-truly" gets to clean the lines. We have...

photos in the boneyard or it never happened!

If you're using a Star-san sprayer, it's just best to spray the whole thing and your hand as well for good measure. You can always wash your hand afterward. Peace of mind. Anyway, I really think you'll be fine. Your numbers suggest you have enough alcohol in there to deal with anything that...

Was your spoon sanitized before you scooped and dropped it? If so, I expect you'll be ok. If not, you're probably still alright. Based on your gravity readings you are looking at a pretty decent ABV volume and that will likely help kill any sea-beasties. So, in terms of downright infection...

Well, we seem to have survived the opening of a major food-chain restaurant. Last week was a bit of a slow week for us as Buffalo Wild Wings opened. We saw a 2k drop in our weekly revenue, but this week we bounced back so that pleased us. It certainly gave us an idea of what to expect when the...

Oops, that above post should have been put in the other thread. I'm going to move it and will respond there...

BuckEye, our plumber is coming in today to install some cages around our sprinkler heads. I will talk to him about the filtration system and get more information about it so I can better respond to your points. (I have pledged to be completely honest about the things I don't know.) I don't...

Like a really really hot girl with mascara running all down her face...

Not would/could - does/will As for your comments on the benefits of aging, almost everything but a West Coast IPA is better upon aging.

Some quotes from this thread... True, but in my case the motivating factor isn't even necessarily driven by the money end of it. Sure, that's rewarding and you NEED it of course to keep the brewery and yourself going (see subsequent quotes) but the sheer joy of seeing other people enjoy your...
