Wherever it is now, leave it there :) until it's done in two-three weeks Welcome to the hobby.. it's a lot of fun, making mistakes, learning, and drinking beer.

I'm using WLP029: German Ale/Kolsch I bought the Kolsch yeast because the local store didn't have European Yeast which I used for an excellent blueberry ale over the summer. I used the Kolsch yeast for the grenadine/pomegranite wheat ale conditioning in bottles now. Next, I will use a...

haha I've seen worse... Pretty nice that you were able to treat each other ... Five kids, wow.. you deserve that loot and more.

Just wanted to say Cheers! I love all grain brewing. There is something magical about making beer with grains.

I was kind of feeling bad for your thread because it's so awkward. Don't worry, I love my socks. My wife and I buy stuff for our kids' xmas which is very pleasurable to experience... and for ourselves we buy ourselves time off from our kids.

Three gallons of Kolsch style. Which is a wonderful style.

Sweet. That's about 200 feet of 3/8 vinyl tube. Too bad Lowes doesn't sell nice socks.

My wife got me socks. They're nice.

As far as I'm concerned, fermenting ought to be done in stainless steel, or glass if you can't afford ss. Plastic is a nasty thing. Not only is it naturally toxic until controlled and washed, it is porous. Even the precious HPDE is porous; it captures all kinds of tastes including whatever is in...

LOL!! I'm sure it is! :rockin:

You are confused about mashing. Please look up what mashing is with the idea that it does not apply to fruit in beer. You can literally stuff the fruit in the fermenting vessel provided there is room. I hope this helps.

Women are calculating creatures. Hardly benevolent bringers of unrequited joy. Be careful with this one young padawan.

Wow, I never thought about how impossible it is to aerate wort in a bucket before.

My advice is get some rest. You've been researching too hard and you are no longer able to convey sense. This is normal. If you choose to continue with this 'hobby' please note that you will increasingly make less sense until you one day shall wake from your filthy bed a primate--an ape of your...

I had planned to do this beer/sake/wine/hybrid, but the ingredients are expensive; especially the powder and the muscat. Pricey and you are left with a lot of left over material. That's why I never carried through. Also because I didn't want to screw up an expensive brew while I'm on my first...

I use those things to bottle beer. The spigot woiks great. If you don't mind fermenting in plastic then you are good to go. (I'm superstitious).

The window AC unit is more cost effective. With TX heat you might want to step up to a good efficient unit and not an entry model. Or just stop brewing for 2-3 months every year.

Homeland: Militant Version: Drink every time someone says "terrorist attack". Drink every time someone says "nine eleven". Drink every time someone says "homeland security". Veteran Version: Drink whenever Carrie cries. Drink whenever Brody lies. Drink whenever Saul happens to have more...

Look up the DFH Chateau Jiahu clone. http://byo.com/stories/recipeindex/article/recipes/112-specialty-a-experimental-beer/450-dogfish-heads-chateau-jiahu-clone And try a bottle, it's good. http://www.dogfish.com/brews-spirits/the-brews/occassional-rarities/chateau-jiahu.htm

At least your beer (wife) doesn't hate wheat beer. I could give her the world's greatest wheat beer and she might not just say about it: I don't like wheat beer. Well, my beer (wife) does. Also mine tells me my business. Once in a while she's like: stop spending so much money on beer. And I'm...
