Sounds like someone isn't excited about their mom's new "special" friend.

So it is the time of year when my (poorly insulated) basement stays a steady 48-50 degrees. For my next few batches I'm planning to use lager yeast to accommodate the cool temps. That said I don't have any means to truly later after fermentation is complete. With that in mind if I try for...

Munton's has a priming sugar that is supposed to increase head retention. I haven't used it but seen it in a few LHBS. It's call Kreamyz or something equally repulsive. That said I've heard it works well.

I've ready Conan thrives in lower temps and that you will get the most fruit between 60 and 64. I've heard of some breweries willing to share their proprietary yeast with home brewers. Has anyone ever reached out to The Alchemist about Conan? I don't have anything planned in Burlington...

Anyone posting about PC crab would be pissed if someone wished the a happy Hanukah this week. If I know someone's religion I'll recognize the holiday by name (Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza, Fedtivus, whatever). But if I don't know why risk alienating someone who as an equally valid and important...

I am sure that statement could be be made by any man in any profession. Office Space crosses all professions, just not all genitalia.

Trade is done. Sorry for not closing this thread out this weekend.

Not an engineer. Was a middle school teacher and school administrator in Boston Public and Newark Public. Now I work for a non-profit helping schools in low income communities use data and standards based instruction to help kids make breakthrough growth. (on a day to day I manage a team of...

I'm also reasonably confident in my ability to add another few ounces of either if that is what someone needs.

I have 3oz of 2011 Citra, and 2 oz of Amarillo Leaf. Both are in original sealed packaging. Just made two beers in a row and have had my fix for a while (also LHBS seem to be well stocked). I am interested in either Galaxy or Belma hops. Galaxy I would be more than happy with an even...

Brewed and bottled, subbed out half the pale malt for wheat

My orange (white) pale ale

Thanks for the feedback. How long did it take to drop out? I wonder if it isn't a pesticide or other inorganic matter from the farms causing the taste.

Have an IPA in primary that has a pretty noticeable aspirin flavor. It was there when I took my OG reading pre-yeast which makes me think it isn't a chlorophenol issue. Searching for culprits for the flavor i have seen amarillo being described as having this flavor. My only thought is that it...

Lived in Ogden a few years back. Roosters isn't the best brewery in Utah, but as far as a brew pub goes both food and beer are above average. Definitely worth spending your per diem there.

Just brewed a partial mash version of this. Subbed out the first addition for Magnum. So while not a clone, I'm excited for the extra ounce of Citra I was able to split between 15, 10, and 5 minute additions. Had an OG of 1.072, which Suprises me since this was my first PM. That said I am...

My dad just got a Green Egg this summer. He is enjoying it, but outside of The Egg has no extra gear or accessories. What are some must have for him that I could get him for X-Mas?

Just wrapped up my third brew day. Completed my first partial mash (Zombie Dust clone), bottled my Wit, cleaned up, and hit all my numbers in 4.5 hours. I was worried about feeling rushed or forgetting a critical step, but I managed to time things well and did not even annoy SWMBO. Also the...

Ok so I am going to brew the following on Saturday or Sunday. My grain bill is pretty much set (although the specialty grains could be adjusted). I had planned on following a hop schedule similar to the Zombie Dust clones on this board, but also have other stuff in the fridge that I could use...

I generally see folks recommend around 2 tablespoons. I made an orange pale and added zest from two average tangerines and it was great.
