My wife likes artsy stuff, so I was thinking about giving her a brewery name and a beer name for one of my batches so she could make a label. She would enjoy it and feel like she was helping out in some way.

Cat 6 Brewing. It's a cycling reference.

Over two pounds of hops in 4oz bags from farmhouse. A mix of 2 EKG, citra, willamette, challenger, warrior, 2 cascade, and another one I can't remember.

Around 4.5 hours from taking it out to putting it away clean for my partial mash brewday. I could do it faster if I really wanted to, but I'm not in a rush.

The room it was in was around the mid 60s during fermentation. If the fruit isn't going to come out, then I am just going to start drinking them now. I enjoy the flavor and it's actually a very drinkable beer as it is, so it's not like I'm going to be forcing them down out of spite. It's...

I brewed the following beer: http://www.tastybrew.com/newrcp/detail/832 with the problematic exception of having to use White Laps 550 (Belgian Ale) instead of the Abbey yeast that the recipe called for. The lhbs was out of it, and I didn't have time to wait to have it shipped because I wanted...

I know that republicans aren't solely to blame; I'm just saying that republicans who do vote against the bill are being hypocritical. It annoys me to hear people say, "I'm against regulation," and then go out of their way to regulate or stop alcohol, gambling, or any other activity they don't like.

I'm assuming that many of the representatives who vote against the bill are republicans. If my republican representative voted against a bill that would legalize homebrewing, I would ask him why he is promoting government regulations which stifle job creation (opening homebrew shops), when the...

Beers are like dogs. I love my dog, but he will never bring home a best in show. Doesn't make him any less awesome to me, though.

Southern Brewing is a lhbs in Seminole Heights. There is a bar inside, and they usually have some great stuff on tap.

Since it was flameout, there probably won't be a problem. If you were that worried about it, you could have brought it back up to a boil for a couple minutes to make sure.

If you take it right out of the tap you run the risk of contaminating your beer.

I was pitching a vial of White labs 550 (belgian ale) into 5 gallons of 1.070 wort when I slipped and spilled half of it. I was already underpitching because I didn't have time to get a starter going, but now I am horribly underpitched. Normally I would run out and buy another vial, but I...

My boss and my coworker both brew. Neither of them seem to be too particular about their brewing methods or recipes, so what I get from them is hit or miss (mostly miss).

The least amount of time I've had a beer sit in primary is a month. I hate bottling, so I always end up putting it off a week or two (or six).

I brewed this beer as my sixth batch: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f64/pyrrhic-victory-esb-70129/ The only deviation from the recipe is that I let it sit in primary for ~6 weeks. I broke my thumb shortly after my brewday, and I had to wait for the cast to come off before I could bottle...

Brewed a 5g extract batch of ESB. Got to do my first full boil in my new 7.5g brew kettle.

+5 gallons of ESB = 47550.75

+ 5 chocolate stout = 44,088.6

It's hanging out with the rubber grommet I pushed into my batch this afternoon. Pushing the airlock too hard gets everyone eventually.
