I am a local homebrewer in the great state of Wa. and was wondering what youze guys thought of initiative 1100 and 1105? seems good to small craft breweries to have to be able to not go thru the three tier system (i.e. Great movie Beer Wars) but at the same time hard liquor sales outlets will...

My "LUPULIN LUNATIC" brew started at 1081 o.g. and is now stopped at 1017 do I need to add energizer or anything like that you think? Would really like a 12 or 10 fg? Yay or Nay?:o

thanks i will use aluminium foil!

looks great. not that you would have it around but greenlee make SS hydraulic punches for all sizes. Sure they are not cheap but maybe a rental item.

the wyeast website says to use a loose fitting lid or al. foil or something. Why not an airlock on my starter? Does yeast need the o2? I aerated fairly well. I LIKE BUBBLES!!:drunk:

thanks for all the good info it seems to be the census that he is in fact a clown in this aspect. The way I look at it-enter a beer to the best of your knowledge with the ingredients you know of and done deal right. I myself have only entered one competition with one beer and it scored a...

My homebrew sensei and I are at a lets say disagreeance. We are entering a local Ipa competition and he says we should enter our all grain ipa in two categories extract and all grain b/c the judges will score the beer higher in the extract than the all grain just to kind of pull the wool over...

thanks for the reply. you wouldn't bother adding weights or dry hopping? I assume you mean adding lots of weights. Making a Mannys pale ale clone for preggo neighbor....something about hops helping to "bring in milk!" I dunno i just like hoppy beer!! well and giant juicy jiggly...

Do I need worry that my hop bag will not sink? I even added stainless fittings to the sac but figure i need alot of weight to get them to sink. The lupulin will still be drawn out of the hops even if sitting on top right? Or I was thinking about adding some real stainless weights to the bag to...

simcoe would be great maybe 8,6 oz or something? I am in seattle area, could ship

they are whole!!! leaf

I have a good amount of hops. Varieties are Amarillo, Cascade. Would anybody out there like to swap some small amounts i.e. 4,2, oz or whatever I have had them vacuum sealed and they are last years crops. The amarillo is especially great. Was thinking I would like simcoe,columbus, chinook...

"young-un's" with your video on demand and text messaging.... I understand but is it true yeast is suspended in the beer? anyway thx for the reply always good to hear from a sensei of your magnitude but now I gotta go sorry must download, text and instant gratify myself he he! :-}

:confused: just blew off say two cups off sediment from my conical after only 5 days of fermenting and beer is still at a 1018 need it at 1004. will the suspended yeast continue to ferment and if not can I add 1 pack for ten gal. of the dry yeast I used to finish it off or would that be bad...

my LHBS told me I could not use my wort chiller as a jockey box because copper produces a off taste in the beer when chilled and ran through it. Also another question ... I am planning on doing a homebrew spread for fourth of july and was wondering if I just iced my kegs and had small party taps...

take a trip down to "E-town" thats actually Everett but Homebrew heaven is there and man it is my go to great grain and lots of other goodies. Plus there is a Italian place next to it...Georgios! Great homemade italian . Get the salad with ranch. only a half hour from sea town. Peace!!:fro:

Just bought a 24 pack of k.s. craft beer tried a couple thought the hef wasn't bad. C'mon $18 for a case not bad huh? what do ya'll think of it if you've tried it or am I a "sellout"?????

the competition is @ www.bewbc.org/pro-am . btw I like your avatar I have a year old golden my first dog. love the **** out of her. she likes the water and lives for tennis balls !!!!!

clean fermentation... let me try my hand at this. Have you ever had a hef that tasted real strong of banana, clove etc? well that would be a example not so much clean fermentation. Where as a pyramid hef is cleaner. Clean to me means free of any strong "off" flavors. Maybe also "mainstream"...

Been brewing for 2 years hard-core all grain and am going to enter my IPA 7.65% into a competition. It's a $6 entry supply three bottles. My IPA is balanced, malty, hoppy, bitter and w/ pacman yeast overall in my opinion and alot of my buddies it GOOOOOOD! 15 oz of hops for 10 gal. But anyway...
