lmfao... adrock: what's taters? austin: PO - TA - TOES!

I'm with you 100%, man.

XP 64-bit FTW. Also got OSX 10.4 on this machine and another.

The samples I made were never carbonated. I just went from primary to the keg, chilled the kegs over night, and hooked up the CO2 to dispense some and begin carbonation. As far as the bottles go - all of the bottles of apfelwein have tasted like crap. Except that one. I'm going to chill...

It's really a fantastic place. Great sushi, incredible price.

I'm 4 blocks away, and I hear tires screeching, so I look up and watch the Ram slam the F-150 off in the distance. Ram speeds off around a corner. I run up to the accident to see what happened, and another guy starts running in the direction the Ram went. I followed him and we see him speed into...

HUGE clue (to someone who can figure it out): Poured a sample of both brews into a plastic container (not carbed, fresh outta primary) the other day and put them into the fridge. The next day, I took them to the LHBS along with a bottle of apfelwein (bottled a long time ago). I get there...

Awesome! Can't wait to see it side by side. ...sending PM

I still want in! When are things starting up?

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS....... Speaking of which, how do I get in the HBT fantasy league?

You're welcome - if you happened to get any 22oz bottles in there, they originally came from Germey :) You have all of them filled?

The weird thing, though, is that the apfelwein had the flavor... and it was in 6 1gal jugs with 6 brand new stoppers. I will replace them, though, since I could now have the infection in them.

Nah, that's not it.

The funny thing is that it's really undrinkably disgusting in a lighter beer, but some malts and hops do a good job of making it not just drinkable, but quite enjoyable. I got some learnin' ta do, for sure.

Additionally, after reading through the list, I'm now worried about my yeast/starters and aeration. I usually just vigorously shake the carboy for 5 minutes or so to aerate, and I'm not sure what my starters should look like when they're ready to be pitched. According to the list posted above...

Yes, I taste all the time. Flavor is there at bottling/kegging, so it's being developed in the fermentation process. Time in the fermenter seems to have no bearing on it. My first batch was primary 9 days secondary 9 days and had it. These last two batches were in primary 8 weeks no...

I want to take my brews to my LHBS. I had this flavor in my very first batch. What's funny is I also tasted it in Schneider Weisse. Ugh. Such a pain. I have a kegerator with 10 gallons of crap, I've already dumped 15 gallons, and my brewing is on hold :( I'm moving in two weeks. When I...

I got to my LHBS and buy my ingredients, then I go to CVS and buy my water. I put 3gal of water in the fridge, and 2gal of water in my pot. Sanitize my carboy, airlock, and funnel. Dump in a pound or two of DME, dissolve, bring to a boil Go through the hop schedule, adding 1TBS irish moss and...
