Agreed. Kids are like yeast starters, growing up an army of invaders to overwhelm immune systems.

That's how it is for us too. I don't know if it's vitamin D deficiency or something else winter related but my sinuses are jacked up from December to March.

That is a very impressive list!! One of my brewing regrets is that for a couple years I didn't write down my recipes or track them in any kind of way so I'll never be able to count how many batches I've done.

Do a Belgian beer like above poster mentioned, it will not taste the same I guarantee it. (I do not guarantee you will like it t but it will be different.)

I still buy beer because there are a lot of really good beers out there, I want to try them all! I buy some beers to fill holes in my inventory (I have a stout in the fermenter and one in the keg conditioning but none to drink right now.) so I popped down to the store to pick up a very good...

If you never want to buy bottle caps again, you could buy swingtop bottles. I primarily re-use bottles and buy bottle caps because i like the frugality and true recycling nature of it. But I really do like my swingtops and I might convert over some day. I have re-used caps one time, when I...

That is really nice Dan! I love the grain of that wood. I've been meaning to make myself a pipe stand but I haven't got around to it yet.

What you guys are saying about pot has plain not been my experience... In my lovely little hometown methamphetamine is all the rage and it leaves a lot of people very messed up. I haven't seen anybody really struggle with marijuana personally. Usually it can help with anxiety and depression and...

I agree about strip clubs but disagree about pot stores. Marijuana is, if anything, much less dangerous and damaging than alcohol but it's less socially acceptable. I don't "get" pot stores necessarily though. I go for my wife and usually someone in front of me is saying, "I want something that...

That is incredibly lucky! Are you in the UK? I don't think there's any chance of getting a used beer engine here in the US because nobody has one to start with. The little $35 rv pump I got from Amazon mimics the effect pretty well but my first beer I'm running through it is a bit lackluster...

I bought a ph meter after a long hiatus as well and what I found is that my mash hits that sweet spot after about fifteen minutes so I've never tried adjusting with acid or chalk. I'd let this one condition and maybe those flavors will mellow out or disappear.

I brewed a slip n shoddy stout tonight, I don't know how long I actually boiled it because everything was timed around feeding a baby and getting her to sleep. I hit 1.065 for my og which isn't too bad at all and the smells from the kettle were divine.

To hell with it! Brew it exactly like you planned it and report back on how it turns out!

I agree about the biscuit malt but I don't personally know what it would do... That amount of chocolate might push it into being more like a porter but I think it will be a pretty good beer.

I recently bought two pin lock kegs, one is a coke keg (short and wide) and the other is a Cornelius (tall and skinny). In my searching around it's easy to deduct that there are far more aftermarket parts for ball locks but the pin locks seem to usually come cheaper. I like that I can't screw up...

I don't think so... It seems all the trends are moving towards beer that tastes like orange juice and beer that you drink at home delivered by Uber.

I think the answer to that micro-oxidation would be 1 gallon corny kegs and when you hand pump the beer out you pull the prv. I really thought about doing it that way but 1 gallon kegs are twice the price of used cornies and I'm a cheap bastard.

You could also just prime to 1.5 volumes but in my experience it won't have that pillowy head that cask beer is famous for.

Species is probably the wrong term. What I was saying is that beer yeast is very carefully maintained to avoid mutations in fermentation profile and bakers yeast isn't because any old yeast will do, it really survives more than a day at most.

I'm not going to give you flak, I agree one hundred percent. On the flip side I'm not drinking four gallons of beer in three days so I'll take that down side 😂
