Sweetness and maltiness are definitely different. Maltiness can come more from your saccrification mash temperatures and overall grain bill / hop balance. Sweetness is more a by-product of unfermentable sugars, like lactose, etc, that the yeasties do not gobble up and turn into alcohol. If you...

I won't believe Giselle is pregnant until Brady dumps her. :rockin:

btw again....by my calcs you are getting 50 IBU's from 1oz/60min target and 1oz/15min fuggles......

btw I'm only getting a 1028 starting gravity from that recipe. did i miss something or was it omitted? did you say that this was going to be a partial mash? if so, that base malt could account for the difference.

I'm a cityboy lifer, but I totally agree with you. Some of best memories as a kid was when my Dad owned a little cottage out Route 2 in Phillipston on Queen Lake - I'd be a total city slicker if I didn't spend every summer up there roaming around the woods. :D More recently, I try to spend...

I multi-stepped with a pilsner that I have lagering right now due to concerns about haze and clarity of the pilsner malt. I've read, and heard (kai i think?) that skipping a protien rest with this type of malt/beer will result in a beer that either refuses to clear or takes months to do so. I...

Just last weekend I popped the keg of AHS Rogue Shakespeare Stout (it was keg conditioning for a about 5-6 weeks) and MAN, it is AWESOME. Spot freaking on. I'm doing a side-by-side tonight, but I could not be happier with the results. One of the best beers I've made......but it makes me wish I...

Do the minimash! It can be done with no extra equipment than you'd use to steep grains, all the above links will gove you all th info you need. In my opinion, if you are even thinking you *might* want to some day go to All Grain, minimash is a great intermediate step.

Doooooown by the riveeeeeeer....by the bank of the River Charles! Thaaaat's where you'll find meeeee....along with lovers, fuggers and thieves... :rockin: .....Sorry, couldn't resist. Looks like a good recipe. The only thing I'd really tweak is to back off on the lactose a bit, but that is...

One of these days I'm going to shart a effigy of Jesus, and boy am I going to set that reserve price high........

The more up to date versions have lots of useful updated info like liquid yeast info, updates for the better variety of ingredients available nowwdays, etc. For the price, I'd buy the old one and read it from more of a spiritual/emotional perspective and supplement that reading with...

The Dodgers are an interesting candidate, they are Red Sox West. But it's LA - kind of tough to root for an adopted team whose (non-hardcore) fans don't even root that hard for them. I get the impression that it's just not cool to loudly browbeat the visiting team's first base coach's monther...

Another HBT'r to add to the Feb/Mar birthday club - what's up with all these birthdays???? Happy birthday, man!!!

Hbd!!!!!!!!!!!!

torch, is the Ego going to Land in Houston this year or what? :D

Doe this lend creedence to the yoopers-was-c*****h**-conspiracy-theory?

The logical choice for a Sox fan is to eternally root for the Cubs. We've carried that torch, it's in our blood. It is sooo New England to always realize that there are things to find despair in. The Cubs are this. They capture my despair, and I love them, also.

Tom Brady always find the open receiver in the red zone.

Two months ago, one of my co-workers was having a prolificly gassy day. The things were moving through the office with blazing speed, somewhere in the vicinity of 6-7 feet per second. Carl Lewis farts. Regardless, he was laying one down in a very demonstrative way and something went wrong...
