    Christmas Presents!

    2 16 oz new belgium glasses and a shirt. I think I'll get my self a stirplate and a flask/stir bar. Dropped near $1000 on everyone else I get some glasses. Nice glasses I'm enjoying very much with some of my year old 10% brown ale. But still glasses.

    Questions for those who use a kettle as their mash tun

    I mash in a 10.5 gal kettle and to reduce heat loss I wrap it in some blankets. I don't usually lose more than a degree over 60 mins but then again I am in houston and if I leave the kettle/mlt in the sun I'm pretty sure it would actually raise a few degrees. Using the kettle I can do direct...

    Free Stella Chalice-Just call and they'll ship it!

    They had a huge display of these chalices at my local grocery store. I asked if I could buy one and they said it was display only. They literally had 30 of them sitting there in a retail store and I can't buy one? Why is it illegal for me to have some stupid chalice in texas.

    What pisses you off about other drivers?

    People that think their blinker entitles them to a spot in my lane. I've been in this stopped traffic for 3 miles just so I didn't miss my exit, then they drive up and slam on their brakes 1/4 mile from the exit with their blinker on. Then I get to play the stay as close to the person in front...

    Deep Six needs *your* help!

    ill send you as many decorated dollars as it takes to get a t shirt or pint glass. I could only find womens shirts on your website. SWMBO is an artist so they would be very nice dollars.

    Saint Arnold's Pumpkinator

    I scored two bottles at the specs at Jones and 290. I couldn't force myself to finish the first one. Needs some time to mellow that "imperial" flavor imo

    Can't break activator inside Wyeast package

    I let swmbo do it every time because she thinks its the funniest thing in the world. Shes not exactly buff either. Don't be scared of breaking the outer package, just lay it on a table and smack it.

    Oktoberfest-Marzen beer with Ale yeast?

    I've used 1099 several times and that's the yeast I chose to make my fake oktoberfest with yesterday. I use kolsch yeast all the time to make kolsches and I can't see that tart sharp flavor being very good in something I think should be malty and sweet. Maybe I have the wrong idea of what an...

    harvest yeast from bottle?

    I just did this with a bottle of my own hefeweizen, some pranqster, and one of my own apa's. Add 50g of dme to 500ml of water and boil for a couple mins, I usually add some yeast nutrient. Cool and add to a jar you ran some starsan through. Shake the crap out of it with a lid on it to...

    Fermenting bucket heat limit???

    I drain my 170 degree mash into mine every time. I may be slowly dieing of some sort of plastic poisoning but so far no detectable flavors in the beer and I figure it helps in the sanitation department. I still use starsan after the boil though.

    St. Arnolds Brewery to dump 10,000 Gallon of their newest beer

    It's not like any of their other beers are "world class". They're not bad but none of them stand out on the world stage. I'm going to their beer and cheese tasting event on the 31st, and in their news letter they said there might be a special beer paired with a special cheese there. I hope...

    First screw up... boy.. with pic

    I really don't get how hard it can be to carry a carboy. I've got a couple and only use them for apfelwein really. Buckets for beer since that's what fits in my fermentation fridge. Grab the neck with your right hand, tilt over, put left hand under bottom and lift. Reverse to put down. Don't...

    Any Harm in Milling Grain Twice?

    The mill at my lhbs is not so great so I have him run it through twice every time. Seems to work fine so far, every brew is between 70-80% efficiency.

    The stupidest comment on your beer

    I'm pretty sure wet hopped beers refers to using hops that have never been dried. Right now you can preorder them from rebel Brewer since they apparently run out quickly and are only available at certain times during the year

    I thought I would never go AG

    I did one extract, hated it, stopped for a couple years, then went right into ag. Every other sunday is dedicated to brewing, I don't do a damned thing else. It's very relaxing. Not to mention I get to start drinking at 9am. I've been doing this for 8 months now and try to introduce a new...
