Yep. saw that last week and went off what he said due to the lack of responses prior to brewday. Thanks for the info Munsoned!

Well, I racked off my old sour (which has acquired a lot of acetic character since my last tasting a month or so ago) and bottled it. Brewed the Flanders Red (again as for all my beers, forgot to lower grain amounts and efficiency was way high and ended up with a SG of 1.070 instead of the...

Maybe this is a dumb question, I know people empty barrels all the time and dump in new wort or fermented wort but... I transferred a sort of hybrid smoked/english IPA/old ale to secondary and added a packet of Roseleare about 9 months ago. It has reached terminal gravity and has a nice faint...

I bought a 12-er of this a couple weeks ago, liked them to start off with, now I keep getting that same soapy taste I get from most NB beers.

I almost always time my beers so I start with a lower gravity beer, then pitch a medium gravity onto the cake of the first, and follow with a really big beer. Great way of increasing cell count without dealing with starters. Just remember, flavors from an earlier beer can carry over...so don't...

Plans changed, now have two extra tickets to the Saturday AHA session if anyone is interested. PM me.

Anyone have an extra saturday AHA Session ticket? PM me :-)

Can't believe this story made it here...I worked in the lab that did this work about 8 years ago. Been all over the news here in Boulder since it's a local lab.

care to share a recipe?

Similar experience in Peru, had both the strawberry kind and the un-flavored kind, good stuff, much better than the local crap lagers (note, they don't put barley in Chicha, I think Sam made a Chicha-beer instead of Chicha). I don't know why he didn't just go to Peru and figure out how they...

I had a can explode as I opened it, well, not explode but vigorously spew beer...granted it had been in my backpack for 3 hours of hiking and I was at 14,000ft, so I expected it to do that. No help to you...did you only have one or did you buy a sixer? Open another and see if it is the same...

AFAIK, the VIP entrance is only for the non-AHA sessions (my sat afternoon ones are not stamped 'VIP' but my friday night ones are)....so, for non AHA sessions, there is a special VIP entrance for AHA members who purchased the tickets through the AHA-linked site (I bought my friday night, sat...

Anybody else psyched about the VIP entrance for AHA members to the non-AHA sessions? Awesome, simply awesome. I'll likely be at Avery Brewing Co (the actual brewery, not at GABF) on sunday pouring for them. Maybe some evenings during the week as well.

I'll be at the friday night session and saturday AHA session...it hurt doing that last year but what the hell.

You carried a 5 gallon batch down Bierstadt? you are hardcore :cross:

Subscribed...love the Red Rice beer, they have it at a local noodle restaurant (that kinda sucks) but the beer sorta makes up for it...

:off: OH- groups are hydroxides, not alcohol, you cannot ever get drunk off water....you're not a chemist are you? :cross: From Wiki, "In chemistry, an alcohol is any organic compound in which a hydroxyl group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom of an alkyl or substituted alkyl group. "

I did a tasting at Avery brewing a couple months ago of a flight of the Beast (grand cru) from three years in a row that were aged in barrels. The brewers said the oldest was very oxidized bc it was the first time they had put beer in barrels and totally weren't careful. Frankly, I thought the...

I feel your pain man, I have had some sort of viral tonsillitis (not strep, had the test) for 8 days now, feels like someone shoved a weed-wacker down my throat and let er' rip, tired as hell, and was going to take the day off but had a bunch of disasters come up at work...

I have a pretty simple explanation for people who drink beer from bottles. Taste is relegated in large part by smell, you cannot smell what you are drinking when you drink from a bottle. Do you ever see anyone drinking wine from a bottle, no, because without breathing while you drink, you miss...
