    Foods that freak out SWMBO (or HWMBO)

    She hates it when I make spam musubi. It's just not the same without it though. Also rice is pretty good with a syrup of rice wine vinegar and sugar on it.

    Your LHBS

    The next one is this Friday and basically there's a couple coolers and a whole lot of beer. Homebrew and commercial. Sometimes there's 40 people sometimes there's 10. People just hang out and talk beer and everything else. Bring a small tasting glass :-) It's from 7 to whenever

    Preferred Carbonation Level

    High carbonation here. Never heard of people watering down sodas. I try to drink them fast before the ice ruins them. I also usually try to carb beers around 2.7 or more.

    Body rejecting beer!!! Leaning towards low ABV (session) beers

    I'm 25 and I usually feel fine the next day unless I really over do it and skip eating or something. But if I sober up while I'm still awake I get the worst headache. If I catch a good buzz while brewing or something but then stop before I get too stupid I'm guaranteed a headache in a couple...

    Beer Cocktails?

    I've had that ipa, grapefruit, and gin cocktail before at a beer tasting in november and I'm still thinking about it. You don't have a preferred recipe do you?

    Custom made Mash Paddles??

    The original quote was 125 but I added all kinds of fancy designs and stuff and it ended up around 200$. I can't stand to touch wood, some kind of weird thing I have with it so the buckskin handle was a must. All the relief carving sure did turn a lot of heads and draw a crowd at the last club...

    Karbach brewing

    I actually had a chance to go to a karbach dinner at the down house restaurant. The first drink they gave us was a mixed drink with rodeo clown double ipa and gin and grapefruit juice I think. I can't really remember but I'm still thinking about it from November when I wen't. I really liked...

    Took about two and a half weeks, I think she said this time of year was pretty busy with all the festivals going on.

    My paddle is maple, but there are a ton of wood supply places in houston I'm sure any wood you wanted would be obtainable.

    Just got my custom mash paddle, check it out

    So I had ordered a bunch of tap handles from a carver here in houston and was very impressed. Then one brew day I was trying to stir a thick decoction with a flimsy pos plastic paddle and thought there had to be a better way to do this. So I put two and two together and decided to send an...

    Custom made Mash Paddles??

    I just got a great custom mash paddle from www.wildvinecarvings.com Every thing was hand carved and the handle was even wrapped in leather. I'll post pictures when I get home, I'm posting from my phone right now.

    Session beer from 1st runnings?

    No sparging isn't about saving time or trouble its about getting a better quality better tasting wort for low gravity beers, IMO at least. I'm still getting 75% efficiency as opposed to my 80% when I batch sparge on a regular gravity beer so I don't consider it a waste if the body and malt...

    Session beer from 1st runnings?

    I've done two session beers no-sparge style and if I upped the grain bill 25-30% they would no longer be session beers. This may be more applicable to a non session beer but I've gotten 75% both times on a 1.050 and a 1.040 brew.

    Ommegang Harvested

    I tried to do a hennepin clone with their yeast and it took the beer from 1.072 to 1.004. I pitched at 65 and let it free rise till it peaked at 85. Unfortunately all I can taste at this point is orange zest since I used way too much. Maybe it will mellow eventually and I'll actually be able to...
