Okay, some time ago I made a post about how much I loved most Deschutes brews but that I thought their Quail Springs IPA sucked. The owners of Deschutes must undoubtedly be following my threads very closely because the Quail Springs has been pulled from the shelves and replaced with their new...

Fortunately my brew room has a tile floor and concrete walls with an 80's paint job that I don't like anyway - so the mess wasn't much of a concern. Next time I brew this beer, does anyone think there'd be a problem with topping off short - to 4 gallons instead of 5 for example - to allow...

Did you check to make sure all appendages were present? I could get over finding a whole spider in one beer, but wondering if that missing leg was in the next bottle would drive me nuts. AHU

I brewed an imperial stout on Friday and it got a good head of foam on it just from dumping it into the bucket (thick stuff). I pitched the yeast and then sometime in the night on Saturday night the krausen managed to plug up my 3-piece airlock and the pressure built up to the point that it...

May have something to do with how long you're letting it condition as well. I usually try a bottle from a new batch after 3 weeks and it usually has no head to speak of. After a couple months in the cellar I find they've developed a nice head . . . and they taste a LOT better. If I had the...

I think it would turn out kinda like mead, wouldn't it? I was just introduced to agave nectar a couple weeks ago and while I didn't do the side-by-side taste test, it seemed pretty similar to honey. AHU

. . . and its inhabitants. Up until a couple weeks ago I was spending a healthy chunk of my work day at this forum each and every day. Loved it. Now my employer is spending 16 grand on a new server and software that will be dedicated solely to the monitoring of web browsing by employees...

Dammit, with all the movie/rock god/actor/actress threads you'd swear you're on some friggin' teen magazine forum. What's the deal bootytrapper? Are you snubbing Sean Astin & Corey Feldman and the rest of the gang? What about Kerri Green? She was hot! REAL Goonies always stick together!!

I don't know exactly what the logistics are - but the website has some background on the little fella and it sounds like he makes a hell of a mess when he does it.

edit: nevermind

No pics - but they wouldn't be worth posting anyway. I drive a moderately beat-up '95 Ford F-150. Almost 200,000 miles. Plenty of dents/dings/scratches etc. Dirty inside and out - I only wash it about once a year. The beauty of it is that it's been paid off for years and the only money...

Yeah, I tried the 120 too and thought it was a bit too much. My sister lives in RI and shipped me a bottle. I never thought "too much hops" was possible until I tried this puppy - definitely a sipper.

The secret is to store it somewhere that you can't see it and never have reason to go to - like my water heater room. That way you only think about like 10 times a day instead of staring at it and thinking about it constantly.

There was a long thread on this subject at the NB forum recently that I read with much interest. The general concensus among those who have tried it was that it was a waste of good weed. But they did say that if you insisted on doing it that soaking it in liquor was the best way to go - as...

Sorry dude - I just heard it at a party last night. Not in the habit of doing a search for every idea that pops into my head before I post. :o

A guy sits next to a beautiful woman at a bar and asks her what her name is. "My name is Carmen - because I like cars and I like men. What's your name?" she replied. "Beerf**k - my name is Beerf**k." :tank:

Good (IMO): Pike Brewing - downtown Seattle Elysian Brewing - Capital Hill neighborhood (Seattle) McMenamins Bros. - several locations in Seattle Big Time Brewery - 45th street in U-district. Okay (IMO): Pyramid Brewing - south town by the stadiums Red Hook - accross the lake in Woodinville...

I knew a skunky woman once . . . briefly. :rockin: AHU

I bought some used carboys from a wine maker that had a bunch of ancient s**t stuck to the inside. On recommendation from another brewer I bought some TSP (trisodium phosphate) at the hardware store and that got EVERYTHING out. It was cheap too - about $5. As with chlorine, just rinse...
