    What are you drinking now?

    Two bottles came glue together. I "had" to get the big mug.

    Stupid, simple bucket filler for bath

    It's not much, but I thought it was worth sharing. Had trouble filling buckets in the bathtub. Punched a few holes in an oxyclean container and it works like a charm.

    BIAB - brew kettle and fermenter recommendations

    I don't do high gravity. I need more beer, not more alcohol. Yes it works perfectly for 5g batches. But I'd like to be able to brew 10 gallon batches of my favorite recipes.

    BIAB - brew kettle and fermenter recommendations

    I have the anvil 10.5 and regret nothing except not getting a bigger one.

    Can aeration before pitch cause oxidation?

    No. The yeast will take care of it. You actually need to oxygenate the wort to make the yeast happy.

    Romulan Ale

    Hmmm your first step would be to find what color, when mixed with brown, gives blue? Good luck.

    What came in the mail for you today?

    Some book to help me drink more while not increasing my drinking. Thanks @JAReeves for the suggestion, that seems like a solid book.

    Hoegaarden Clone

    You don't need to research various sources. Just use the information on the wyeast website or on the pack. They give you a range. Lower range favorise cloves, higher gives you banana, middle gives you optimal balanced profile. I usually go for 70 -72F.

    anyone try this yeast?

    Apparently it's a one letter difference that can make your beer taste like ass and balls.

    How Important is Boiling "top off" Water?

    You don't need to. It's just a basic sanitary "rule" that says you need to sanitize everything on the cold side. Some people will tell you that they used dirty water and still had "great" beers. To each their own. Also, boiling removes oxygen, so if you don't plan on pitching yeast right away...

    The "I'd nevervdrink that if it were ALL that was available" thread

    When I was a teenager the Chinese guy at the convenience store had no problem selling us 3.5$, 1.18 liters, 7% beer. That and a bit of weed was all we needed. The big Fred even drank two bottles one evening. Puked on his cigarette pack.

    Can you carbonate beer with dry ice?

    If you try, please film it.

    The high abv trend

    My opinion is this. If I brew with grains, yeast and hops, whatever I make is fine as long as it's balanced. High ABV beers usually means DME and/or LME. And that, to me, is a sacrilege. I also like beer a lot. And I like to drink a few of them. But I don't want to get drunk. So less ABV...

    Stan Hieronymus Brewing With Wheat

    I was looking for a book on brewing with wheat. Didn't buy this one because of the reviews, but only because they were saying it's more like an article about brewing, not an actual brewing manual. Ended up buying German Wheat Beer: Warner, Eric: 9780937381342: Books - Amazon.ca And I regret...
