So many great responses. Thanks for the awesome feedback. This neighbor is nice for the most part, but she definitely crossed some sort of boundary with that comment. She confides in my wife often and apparently the doctor wants to put her on anti-depressants. I reminded myself of this when it...

I had an ok 3 tier, gravity fed system going. Only problem is its along the fence line of my bible thumping neighbor. Last time I brewed she peaked her eye through the crack of the fence, asked what I was doing and after I answered her she said "what great memories your daughter will have."...

How did this recipe work out for u? I'm on the big island right now having one of Kona's koko browns. It is awesome. I can't wait to copy it.

I'm not sure why Mr. Papazian is using the 105 figure. I'll have to write and ask him.

Yeah, (OG-FG)x131=ABV

(Final-original gravity) x 131= ABV. Right? Well according to Charlie Papazians book "joy of home brewing" the multiplication figure is 105. Which is correct? Online calculators seem to be using the 131 figure.

1. Put it on a level surface. 2. Put a bubble level on it. 3. Shim it until it is level. Mark where your shims were placed. 4. Measure the shims, get some metal the same measurement as your shim and weld it where you marked it. Too easy and fun.:rockin: I had a similar problem. My keggle...

Woke up at 530 this morning. It seemed to be fermenting for a while. All is well.

Very funny! Thanks for the laugh.

Cool. I should be fine then.

From the vial the yeast was clumpy. And after 36 hours in the yeast starter it is still clumpy. Wtf? If the yeast is bad, can I pitch another to save this 5 gallon batch? White labs vial, CA ale yeast, WLP051.

Yeast starters: I'm a believer now!:rockin: I just started a batch of IPA and all is well, very well.

What's up dude? I think we met before at the dec SJ worthogs' brew party in the back of bencomo's. I'm not sure how many IT techs are from sunnyside and also brew but I'm pretty sure I remember u. U gave beer for Christmas. Thanks for the tip on sugar to carbonate. Worked out perfectly. Not...

Any info out there on brewing 10 gallon batches?

This batch is all gone, and I gotta say it was incredibly good. :D

Very interesting! Thanks for the info! :D

Do u think dry hopping will offset some of the off flavors from the stressed yeast?

I believe the yeast did get stressed and produced off flavors. :( Live and learn. At least I know how to make a yeast starter now.

This batch has been force carbonating for 2 weeks. Is it still too late to dry hop?
