    "you won't save money homebrewing"

    No freaking way that I save money brewing. Maybe over enough years and batches to spread out the cost of the kegs and other equipment I'd break even. But then you have to value your time. Now with two little girls my time is worth quite a bit. It's been a few years since I've brewed proper...

    "Woman's beer" recipe ideas

    My wife "doesn't really like beer" but she does like Milds. She likes beers that "taste like bread." I take that to mean more malt than hop. She kinda likes some of the wheats and even some Belgians, but it's hit or miss.

    Good source for non-GMO grains

    But what about the GMO gluten that farmers spray on their crops?

    I think they're hot, but you probably don't

    In the face. And believe me, I'm not enjoying it. :no:

    Will you miss the bottle?

    I live in a redemption state, so I much prefer cans. Just for the sheer weight of it.

    Blue beer: lets beat this dead horse

    I'm excited for you. It'll be curious to see what it looks like when it's done fermenting and carbonated up!

    Toppling Goliath

    Just to twist the knife a bit, I had a can of Pompeii over the weekend and it was fantastic. :drunk:

    Fermented peppers taste like beer

    I did my first batch of hot sauce this season, and did the fermented style. I did it differently and blended the pepper first and fermented in a jar. I basically followed this one https://honest-food.net/fermented-hot-sauce-recipe/ But didn't do the oak or xanthan gum, but I wish i had; the...

    Toppling Goliath

    I live in Des Moines and we get decent TG distro, here. They've just fired up their new brewery and are canning, so that should help things a lot. The old canning setup was contract brewed in Florida, and that beer was bad. Ok, not "bad" but not as good as it should be. Kinda turned me off...

    The country's I Q gets lower every year

    I was talking in the metaphorical sense about IQ. No socialism from this guy ;)

    The country's I Q gets lower every year

    I could see average IQ being up. I mean look at the progress of mankind in this century alone. Though I don't believe every person's IQ is higher. I see this more as a "rich get richer and poor get poorer" type of phenomenon. ;)

    Budweiser Repeal Reserve Amber Lager

    Most of us who aren't watching the NFL because of that don't think it should be illegal for the players to be protesting. Or I hope not, because that would be tremendously hypocritical. We just are choosing to spend our time doing other things. In all fairness, I've never watched much NFL...

    HELP!!!! Bottle Conditioning Flat Beer

    How longs it been? I haven't bottled in many years now, but it seems like if my beer was flat, I usually hadn't waited long enough.

    Budweiser Repeal Reserve Amber Lager

    I saw this in the store the other day. I hate how AB/Inbev mock the "craft brewers" in their media but then buy craft breweries and emulate them with their own stuff. Screw 'em.

    you still use hops in your beer?

    I'm somewhat disappointed and very much so glad that this thread is still going. :D

    No bines of any sort belong in True Beer. NONE! :mad:

    you still use hops in your beer?

    I'm more confused than a baby in a topless bar. :confused: :confused: :confused:
