The team better bring it tomorrow against Guadalupe and get back on track. I want nothing less than a 3-0 victory. And that probably won't be satisfying. @Reno: You're making that Ruby Mountain Beer sound pretty good. Unfortunately we don't get them down here in LV. Maybe there is a...

Only one in LV and it's about 30 min from me. Prices are not too bad so I like to use them if I can. But the only convenient time for me to stop by there is if something else has me on that side of town. Needless to say I always double and triple check my list when I plan a brewday.

+1. Rotting isn't just a spontaneous process. It is the result of microorganisms breaking down the fruit. The only microbes that will be in your beer are hopefully the ones you chose to pitch into it. Don't worry about any bad "rotting" taking place if you were diligent about sanitation.

As a fellow brewer and biker, I'm so sorry to hear about your son's untimely death. My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family.

You might want to check out the book "Brew Like a Monk.". I've heard it has a lot of info and gets pretty in depth on the technical side of brewing Belgian beers. I haven't read it myself, so maybe somebody that has can chime in about it's contents.

Check out the Wiki listing for Quadrupel on this site. Not a ton of info, but their is some stuff on style guidelines for Belgian Dark Strong Ales. The term quad is actually pretty arbitrary, and what some brewers would call a quad, others might call a dubbel. IMO it does have the most to do...

Full boil would be better, but only if you have a way to get that much wort boiling. A stove might not be strong enough. Also, you'll need to consider that cooling a larger volume of boiling wort will be much more difficult, so you will most likely want a wort chiller as well.

I agree that it is either cold break or hot break. That's a good thing. It means that you got certain proteins that you don't want in your final beer to precipitate out of solution. Even if you transfered this stuff into your fermenter it will settle to the bottom and you'll be able to siphon...

Definitely still fermenting. Plus a strong Belgian will benefit if you let it age a little bit.

Stupid chick gave them an incredible piece of advertisement.

Like I said earlier, I would totally recommend them. And you're right, Todd is a good guy that freely discusses brewing with people in the know(or just anyone showing interest). I got a growler of their Cream Stout from them this week and it was really good. A great digestif.

Congrats!!! The stout sounds good. Will the new mother like the style? If not maybe brew a second batch that she'll enjoy.

Also, the foxbrews website that another member posted is for a brewery called Joseph James Brewing Co. They are only a brewery, not a brewpub, so there's no beer sold onsite. If you want to try their beer Freakin Frog usually has some and the liquor stores I mentioned carry their stuff. I...

There are so many good steakhouses in Vegas. You should probably just call around to some of the ones that other posters have suggested and find one that will take a reservation for whatever size party you'll have. And don't be turned off about going off the strip. Places like Del Friscos and...

Yeah, of course guys that have some sort of familiarity with the refs have a better chance of getting calls. But, where do the complete phantom calls come from? Like I said earlier, refing b-ball is not easy, but some level of consistency should be preferred over what we have right now. Hell...

See I'm a Lakers fan, so I'll have to respectfully disagree. That series was about Shaq in his prime vs Rik Smits. Not much of a contest. I think the pacers were just outmatched. But honestly it probably started earlier. As soon as the league became a superstar/big market oriented league...

I know, they get me every time. I also think Stern is culpable. He's perfected the art of denial. As long as he doesn't acknowledge a problem, then there must not be a problem, right?

Believe me, I'm on your side. I was just trying to temper my frustration with the refs a little bit. I've sworn off the NBA on more than a few occasions because of what I considered was BS officiating. Against my best intentions, I have always been drawn back in. I don't know what their...

I'm not big on knocking basketball refs(NBA or NCAA) because I think it's one of the most difficult sports to ref. We are talking about well above average size men, moving at well above average speeds, and doing things that are pretty ridiculous. At full speed it's almost impossible to see...

And at that point it's almost up to the refs to bring out some sort of drama in the game. Sucks, I know, but it is what it is.
