I've gotten to where I always soak all of my bottles in Oxiclean between uses.. My bottles are always sparkly clean as a result.

By now I should have a photographic memory! Yet, some days I have a hard time remembering how old I am.. Gonna need more hops!!

I ferment most of my ales between 62-65F depending on the yeast strain..

Yeah, one time I added the same ground "cinnamon" that the OP used to a little whiskey in a jar. After 2-3 days it had the consistency of snot. Literally!

Did you take any gravity readings before and after?

It looks normal. Since it got so hot you may want to give it a little extra time on the yeast to clean up a little.

Hi friends! How are you all? I'm here for my monthly check in... (sorry I don't visit as often as I should) What's new with everyone? Regarding Michael (Revvy), I talk to him quite often on facebook. Aside from being friends there, he is also a member in a homebrew group that I'm an...

Welcome to the forum Dan! It's great to have you here. The best advice I can give you for this hobby is to have fun with it! Cheers! Mike

Mine is Mikale I love it! It has the word Ale in it... Mik-Ale... haha

Thanks a lot my friend. I never thought I would be happy to be getting my butt kicked at work, but I am!

Hi friends! I hope you have all been well. I've finally gotten a bunch of work lately. I landed a huge wood floor job that starts in a week. The last year has been really rough, but things are finally going better. I got a little scared that it was all going to come crashing down last week...

I've been enjoying all the beers that ruger988 sent me. This one is really nice!

Howdy friends. Well, I used the last of my 2 Row for an IPA today. I made it an experimental batch by doing only post boil hop additions. I can't wait to see how it comes out. I always multi task when I brew. Today I was doing laundry while brewing. I walked in the room to discover a...

Another tasty Saison from ruger988.

Good stuff! Thanks Brian!

Thanks Dan! I really appreciate that, but I have to admit... I feel unworthy of such generosity. I'm just an old construction worker who's a little down on his luck. I'm sure there are others on this forum going through a lot worse than I am. I don't want to give the impression that I'm not...

So, somebody signed me up for the eMAW thread. I'm pretty sure it was mcbaumannerb, and I wouldn't be surprised if a couple others from this thread had something to do with it. I received a surprise box of great beers from a member named ruger988. It was like Santa came in July. I'm really...

After an otherwise really crappy day, I pulled up in my driveway and saw a mysterious box in front of my garage door. The first thing I thought was "did I agree to a beer trade when I was drunk that I don't remember??"... After giving it some thought, I was pretty sure I hadn't. Then I look at...

I'd love to get a pressure canner for wort, but it's on my "long" list... Meanwhile I freeze it, since I have a lot of vacant freezer space as of late.

Hi friends! Sorry I've been MIA for a while. I have actually been busting my hump, but not for much coin, unfortunately. I laid off all of my employees about 2 months ago, and I am now working alone. I'm getting just enough small projects to pay the bills. It's been rough working alone...
