There is a similar thread on beeradvocate.com. There is a difference between having an alcohol problem and getting into the process of brewing. One can be a health risk, the other a relationship risk. In both cases ask yourself if this hobby is detrimental to any part of your life. Does this...

I've used a submersible pump in ice water too, but found that the pump would heat the water it was in. It was a tad counter-productive. I'm trying to figure out a better method. I am wasting too much water during the wort-chill. Any suggestions? Thanks. Susie

Yooper; So sad to hear of the loss of your dad. Dads are special to us daughters so the loss can be so much harder. I used to caddie for my dad when I was 10 years old and that started my love of golf. Every time I am on a golf course and smell the grass, pick up a club, or enjoy a beverage at...

OMG. A pumpkin ale that tastes like pumpkin pie! Yuri, thanks so much for this recipe. I cracked one open over the weekend after 2 weeks in the bottle and it is great. I can see pairing this with a grilled pork tenderloin or a grilled ham steak. :mug: Susie

Welcome from one brewster to another. Lots of great info here and very helpful folks. Susie

I think they would make lovely garden fountains. Sorry...a Martha Stewart moment. :D Susie

I think you would be boiling your extract in thin extract. What...

A submersible pump for garage wort chilling and my BIAB bag from Jeff. He does a nice job. Susie

I have read the thread and did not realize how prevelant the homebrew taste is. I will monitor my own brews. For this as I progress into AG. Thanks for the education. :mug: Susie

With all due respect to the OP (sincerely), what is troubling you about the homebrew taste? We all make homebrew primarily, I think, to get away from the monotonous taste of commercial beers. It is one of the ways we express creativity and should be proud of what we create (I know you are). Home...

I had a Yuengling (sp?) lager last week and it had a solvent-like taste to it. Are my taste buds now sensitive to commercial brews since drinking my own homebrew? Oh no...not that! ;) Susie

Here's Jeff's website http://www.bagbrewer.com/ Mine is on the way. Susie

You betcha, Dan. Sheer poetry. Susie

Thanks, CG.

Hi, Dan; Too new to try an Imperial Stout. I think I'll get my first AG under my belt first. That may be Yuri_Rage's Thunderstruck Pumpkin Ale. It's gotten great reviews. Susie

On behalf of the other women on this site, thanks for the support, and thanks to Yooper for nipping this nonsense in the bud. Now on to brewing better beer:mug: Susie

Excuse me, but I am on this forum to learn and share around the subject of brewing and not to fuel your junior-high fantasies. Respect, please. Susie
