The scene isn't so bad if you imagine the Benny Hill theme playing during the chase. Then you just laugh at how ridiculous it is that the Jesus guy escaped from being tied up with rope, and climbed onto the top of a what, 13' high truck without assistance or ladder in maybe 10-15 seconds...

Ok, I can see I didn't state to get a water report, I was hoping that my advice would be taken as get a report and *know* your numbers instead of *assuming* your numbers. I am trying to give basic advice rather than hammering a million things into a new brewer that literally has a million...

Did I state to assume anything about his water? Sometimes too much information to a new brewer can hurt more than it can help. Then on brew day they're trying to remember two dozen things about water chemistry, rather than just focusing on trying to keep their mash pH within acceptable...

If you know the water pH you can calculate what it would take to adjust the pH of your mash with acid or acidulated malt... If your mash or sparge pH is too high you get weird off flavors in your beer. I fail to see how they're completely unrelated, high water pH, high mash pH, weird off...

This! Find out what your city water pH is. Or if you are buying spring water, call the company and ask them the pH. Chloride/sulfate levels are important, but not as important as mash pH. Once I found out my city water pH and started adjusting my water with acid/acidulated malt I saw a...

Keep going and plow on through. If I stopped or went back to extract at three batches I wouldn't have improved my process as much as I have, it was 10 batches before I started making good beer, 20 before I started making awesome beer, and now after 35ish all grain BIAB I am placing beers at...

Any conspiracy theory "documentary". Particularly JFK ones. I *love* conspiracy theory movies and the best part is when you're drunk you don't get mad, you just laugh at how ridiculous some of the theories are. (though the one about the Secret Service agent who may have accidentally...

First off, no you really aren't over thinking it. Since its not a huge competition I wouldn't worry too much about it being perfectly within guidelines. I don't think most judges could detect a 1% +/- difference in ABV between two similar beers, as long as they are brewed/fermented well...

It's pretty awesome in a saison. Since the saison yeast could ferment plutonium you really dont have to worry about the beer being to sweet, and it adds this wonderful honey and melanoidin/malty chord to the beer. I used 8oz in a honey saison with 16oz of oats and the beer still is crazy dry...

If it means I get more Victory beers out here in Wisconsin I see nothing bad that could happen because of this. I can never have enough Old Horizontal.

Harvey Dent will probably have to be a blended beer, itll have to be two completely different beers with assertive enough character that both come out when you drink them but neither dominates. R'as al Ghul I would probably go with something like a rauchbier or similarly smoked beer (the...

From personal experience midnight wheat is an *extremely* mellow roasted malt. I was knocked a point on my black IPA because they wanted a bit more roast chocolate/coffee, and that's with 16oz of midnight wheat malt in the mash for the full 60 minutes with a pretty fine grind (BIAB so I am...

For clarity, your hops are probably perfectly fine in terms of amounts. I was mostly joking about adding more hops since I hate to be the guy that uses the "go spend more money and your beer will be better" advice. I don't think that 10oz or so of C60 would really completely kill the beer as...

In before someone says skip the crystal malt. I think the recipe looks great and the munich malt will probably be a great addition. When I re-brew my black IPA again I was going to add 1-1.5lbs of munich malt since the judges knocked me for the low to no malt character. I would only say...

Cook with it, seriously, if its not burning a hole in a keg/bottles that you need to get empty for another batch, theres no reason to dump it down the drain unless you need the keg/bottle space. Almost any time you would use water in a recipe while cooking, beer quite often is a better liquid...

I have now run out of my first two bags of bulk grains and I want to replenish my supplies for the next year. I started basic and picked up some Briess Pilsner and Pale Ale malt and had some success with these malts. Now I am looking at trying some new/different malts. I really enjoy the...

I've had success with candi sugar in my CDA recipes. Though some additional sugar won't hurt, it'll help if anything. Keeping it dry is key otherwise it definitely will seem more stout-y.

^This You could split up the grain after milling and do concurrent mashes. Or do a single big mash, do a pour over sparge with a little bit of the water, then do a dunk/batch sparge while you heat the first runnings. Or pick up a little DME to cover the difference. Having some DME on...

Maybe remove the discussion of business and replace it with discussion of an attack on our hobby and something we are passionate about. They're perfectly within their rights as a company advertise and advertise however they choose. People are up in arms about these sort of ads because they...
