I tried to put a picture in here, but not really sure how to. Anyway I brewed my Irish Red 1.5 weeks ago. Now I see weird floaties in my beer. There's 3 of them, and they are about the size of a quarter, kinda spherical. They look like doughballs or dumplings. I really have no idea what this...

Same packet bought at same time. I rehydrated with the same boiled water. not really sure why it never took off.

Friday I made 2 different 3 gallon batches. One, and Irish red, is bubbling away. The other, Haus Pale ale, has no activity going on. I used 2 packets of notty, which have been sitting around for maybe 4-6 months. They weren't in the fridge either, just a cool dry spot. Is normal procedure to...

There's been several threads abut this. But Whatever. Bottom line is pry off bottles, cheap, and decent beer. They contract with outside breweries obviously. My understanding is its Gordon Biersch out west, and by me it's some place in NY. I have some in the fridge now. The hefe and Pale ale are...

Do they distribute Dark Lord to Michigan, or do you gotta go to the brewery? Also what's more worth the money: Chimay Grande Reserve or Rochefort 10?

I lost all respect for Colt today. X-rays negative, he says he has no pain in his arm, get in the game. B#$*@.

Thanks for the input on He'Brew. I was interested in the Rye double IPA, because I've never seen the style before. As of now I'd like to pick up either a Rochefort 10 or Chimay Blue (maybe both), as well as a Old Rasputin RIS, Red Hook Barleywine, (Stone Old Guardian is my backup), and a Hop...

Actually, for the first time in a long time I have hope for the Lions. I've met Schwartz and I like him, I think Mayhew is a good GM, and our rookies have played great this year. So I'll say Lions Super Bowl XLVI, 2 years from now. Gotta be optimistic right.

No experience here, in fact I am even fairly new to the homebrew business. However I can share a few things. I occasionally work with a brewery in my college town of Mt. Pleasant, MI. It is Mount Pleasant Brewing Company. They started out with a restaurant based around the Brewery (Mountain Town...

I'll have to brew it again for next season and have a few (many) every sunday afternoon.

Yah I was planning on getting the Chimay Blue. I've had the Tripel, but I really want to get the Grand Reserve. Is that categorized as a Quad, Beer advocate says its a Belgian Strong Ale.

Bell's and Founder's are on the other side of the state. I frequent Mount Pleasant Brewing Company often when I'm at Central Michigan U. Atwater Block is Downtown.

I've had celebration Ale, and liked it a lot. I also just picked up a Lagunitas We're in it for the Money. Belgian style triple. $3.99 is totally reasonable. What kind of Belgian Quad can I pick up thats a good value. That is my holy grail right now.

Anyone made a Jim Schwartzbier yet? I just made one and want to know if it's the original. And with the National Championship tonight, any Texas fans made a Mack Brown Ale?

BTW has anyone had this He'brew beer? Just saw it in the store and wasn't sure about it. I think it was $5.39 22oz. They have a Rye IPA 10%abv and a half dobblebock half belgian dubbel that looked pretty good.

Yah I love Bell's too I drink a lot of it. I wish they had tours I would've been there by now. Haven't had the expedition stout though. Is the Red Hook Barleywine available in Michigan? Never seen it but would like to pick it up.

I am a poor college kid. Because of this I usually buy beer on a budget. I am still new to Homebrewing (1.5 years) and have had some good beer, but there is still a ton of beer and many styles I have not tried. With that said I just got christmas money and have about $30-$40 to spend and need...

oh well thanks guys. I guess ill wait til i get my own place.

Will a single corny keg fit inside a standard fridge without removing any shelves? I only ask because I still live in an apartment with 3 roommates and don't have any other way to chill a keg. I'm just sick of bottling. Is it too long to lay down, either on the top row or under the shelves? This...

Do it. I only did a few extract batches(maybe 3) before I switched to all grain. Definately more time and effort but its worth it. Plus its cheaper. Extract just doesnt do it for me. Boil water and can contents, add cold water, pitch yeast. AG is a totally new experience and allows you to your...
