Yeah, it is summer here always, well compared to W. Wa. where I used to live. I want this for mardi gras - jazz fest, sorry about the confusion.

Yep, I did the correction. I transferred it last night and in a few hours it was bubblin again. I think it needs another week...

So I made a porter and didn't use all the bittering hops, I thought the recipe had too high of an IBU for a porter. It looks like it is finished today and I checked the gravity. The recipe says the SG will be 1.068 and mine was 1.075. I checked the gravity and today it is 1.023 the FG is...

I watched a movie called "An American Crime". It is a pretty effed up movie but the "crime" is what brought attention to child abuse in general. I hope* the foster home is better...

I want to make a nice, cloudy wheat beer for the summer. any recipe suggestions?

p.s. I contacted rogue, I don't really like their beer I wanted a rogue type bottle design. I told them they should brew this IPA and call it the same name. Only mine is the OG, well FG :). I want labels so we can drink them in style on inauguration day. I figure after that will be sufficient...

Right on. My buddy and I put that one together in an hour or so over a few 22's of Racer 5. It looks like you are pretty decent at design. My friend chris is a painting major at LSU. But he is not a graphic designer--I am an English major. My friend Andrew went to Yale for his master's in GD. I...

I put my fermenters under boxes...

It was pretty good when I bottled it last night. I dry hopped with Simcoe and Cascade for a week, so it stayed in about 17-20 days or so total. It was sweet and the gravity went up a couple points from the priming sugar but I think it will be worked out by about 2 weeks in the bottle. Pretty...

That does look nice but it looks more like a poster. The fonts are way cool though, what are they?

I bought some cheese cloth but the holes look way too big. Can I use a muslin bag that has a tighter weave or does it have to be as loose as the grain bags?

Cool, gotta love Dales!

A friend and I sat down last night and redid the label.

Yeah, I am getting a friend to fix it up for me. I didn't want to use the book cover... I'll post the new one once he is done.

Man, we usually fry turkeys here. I smoked a pork shoulder yesterday, it was awesome today :). I came up with a new trick for that, best bbq pork ever. You gotta brine it overnight (3Tbsp/1Gal water) in enough brine to cover the beast! I cut most of the fat off. Leave the bone if there is one...

Well, I put it in a carboy on like the 3rd or 4th day. It still has a big layer of yeast at the bottom but there really is no trash in the beer anymore. I have another glass carboy that I am going to use for my next kit that should be in soon. Would another dry hopping be in order if I rack it...

I put what I did with the kit I bought into QBrew. It calculated the Starting Gravity spot on. It has been about ten days since I started the batch and it reads 1.014, which is what Qbrew says is the Final Gravity. Should I just bottle this up now? Oh yeah it is an IPA. It tastes pretty good...

Thanks, man!

My airlock stopped bubbling today and I took a gravity reading. It has a bit to go. I sloshed it a bit when moving it to do the test. Now the airlock is bubbling a bunch again.
