NSAIDs (ibuprofen/advil, aleve, etc.)are mainly processed through your kidneys, tylenol is processed through the liver....but...it's still a bad habit to get into often because NSAIDS + Alcohol = Bleeding ulcers :( My recent cure was to eat hot wings that were so blaz'n that the next day my...

Hey Snail, Just curious what are you using to create such a bada$$ label? Tablet with photoshop? I have no artistic talent but I'm very impressed with a lot of the labels on this site including yours and just curious what the process is.

that's fantastic, better then most commerical labels i've seen!

you guys are awesome! Thanks for all the feedback. I went strait home after work and pulled out JZ's book and found his recipe for an American Stout and will replace the centennial with my harvested cascades....mmmmm....i'm thirsty. PS...I looked up the Golden Naked Oats....sounds...

thank you guys, I really appreciate the responses. I guess "throwing caution to the wind" is what homebrewing is all about anyway!!! :mug:

One of my coworkers caught wind that I brew and bestowed upon me a large brown paper bag half full of cascade hops from their garden that they then dried at home. Great right? Well they LOVE stouts or anything "super dark." When I heard they were cascade my mind goes instantly to IPA...

You could use the Pils DME and the carapils instead of torrified wheat (correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the wheat DME will have the same head retention as torrified wheat) Get some Crystal (which at that small of an amt should be cheap, unless you have to order it then probably...

Kegconnection.com all the way!!! They have SO many packages, and I even wanted to tweak the one I choose a bit and they even gave me a deal on it (cheaper then buying the part and changing it out).

Hi, I have an Oud Bruin that is ready to be bottled but I have a question for the HBT community. Basically with priming sugar/carb tabs...will this actually carbonate based on the 'bugs' and final gravity??? Details: Oud Bruin (JZ's recipe) Brewed 8/15/09 Staring 1.050 Final 1.004...

I think I worded that wrong. "Don't get overly concerned over getting an efficiency above 70-75%" is the main thing I've heard. Some people may attempt to increase their eff by "over sparging" such as having their runoff being as clear/clean as tap water, or having the runoff be below 1.010...

Did you happen to see the tower kits on kegconnection? http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=55 It has many options including dual body reg and perlick faucets. I ordered my keg kit from them a couple months ago and everything came pre assembled and they had great customer...

You sumed it up perfectly. DME all the way!

Odd that Mkling's reply has not been commented on. It seems that it's very popular among pro am brewers to prefer 70% or 75% because if you over sparge/get a bigger eff then you will extract out the bad with the good and your product will suffer in taste. I'm no AG pro, just passing on...

That doesn't appear cloudy at all in the picture...just crisp and frosty :)

We're expecting our 1st this christmas :p I have already had to say goodbye to my brew room for a nursery :(

Welcome fell WA homebrewer! :mug:

WLP0001 Cal Ale is the same as the Safale US-05 from what I remember reading. I just brewed mine 3 days ago with my fav US-05 and it smells DELICIOUS! :D

well I listened to the podcast as well, and from what I remember Eddie you pretty much have nailed exactly what the brewmaster from Deschutes said. Go for it and let us know how it turns out! :-)

Hospitalist PA....so for BPD, EricCSU, and myself...we troubleshoot our patients...there must be some engineering in that...right? :)

Safale US-05!!!! My go too yeast for a surefire good time!
