I laughed much.

Ok that actually helps. I've only ever seen the sparkling and not the still version. So the dry is the sweetness and the sparkling is carbonated. It's amazing that one little word makes all the sense. I hate being a noob sometimes, yeah I know "we've all been there... well most of us" :)...

Ok I tried finding this quickly (yeah I know could probably find it if I did more research but I'm about to leave for work and this has been bugging me all morning) on the web but was unlucky. What is the difference between dry and sparkling cider? From what I could find it seems sparkling is...

Winner. :rockin: I have about 234279879 pint glasses that are from various microbreweries that are mostly used. I also have a couple of wheat glasses and some .4 liter mugs with room for head.

starsan foam. racked right into it. Don't fear it.

Local Bristol's Beehive Honey Wheat and Winter Warlock Oatmeal Stout. Regional (still local for me) Breckenridge's Oatmeal Stout and Trademark Pale Ale.

Oh I see how it is. No love for the Noob and his sucky titles :D I posted this same stuff under "beer tv" earlier hahahaha. Yay dvr. boo work.

History channel is showing the "Modern Marvels" on brewing tonight at 5pm Mountain time (I assume 7 Easter and 4 Pacific but not sure) followed by "Modern Marvels" on whiskey. Cheers. :tank:

I've read about people using regular pop top caps on screw top bottles but I've never done it. I personally don't keep any screw top bottles, I'd say either try it and be prepared for some that don't seal properly or check with a local bar and see if you can get pop top bottles and just use...

Local brewery here, Bristol's, has a honey wheat that has sediment and it says to pour all but about 1/4 of the bottle, swirl then finish. Wonderful beer, but I didn't care for the sediment in my first brew. I just pour and as said sacrifice the 1/4 inch or so to the beer gods.

Has anyone been to the Hofbrauhaus in Las Vegas? SWMBO and I are going to Vegas this summer and I want to go. Is it worth it? Looks like a great place. Anywho thanks for the time.

I did top up. I'm thinking Bird has it right. I shook the carboy to aerate the wort but probably didn't do a good enough job. I'll also try to do a better job of taking my picture next time. It's the n00bness in me.

Sweet. Thanks for the responses guys. I wasn't real concerned but ya know :)

3 gal boil water, 60 min boil of 6 lbs wheat lme (60/40) I'd tell ya the hops but they are only labeled as "flavoring hops".

That might be it. I gave it some swirls but maybe not enough.

That's what I came up with too about 1.070 ish. I spun that thing a few times I got the same reading with the flask full as well as a bit poured out (when I took the picture). Should I be concerned about such a high OG when I expected it to be around 1.040? Did I do something wrong? No...

What do you guys see as a hydrometer reading here? This is from my William's watermelon ale kit. The website and catalog state a 1.040 OG, however the instructions don't mention it. The temp was about 70-72 at the time of this reading. Pics are huge so I just put links in...

Saw this on craigs list and thought maybe someone would be interested. Seems a good price but SWMBO aint lettin me spend more money atm. Seems odd both being copper but what do I know. http://cosprings.craigslist.org/for/600611176.html

I just got a delivery from Fedex. Right day, early no complaints really 'cept one. I was home and guy just threw the box (or dropped it from a moderate height) on the porch and left. No knock no ring of the bell nothing. That always annoys the crap out of me. Maybe just maybe someone is...
