Want to be both drinking and brewing, but the wife is about to explode with kid #4. Probably have an hb or two and watch the hills around me for signs of fire. (Hmmmmmmmmmmm, brewing a red or brown would be nice though.......)

Brewsmith, I'm in Santa Clarita so I at least have the Magic Mtn. fireworks to watch each night. But the, nearly, high desert weather sucks from now until mid-October.

100 here in Southern California with 51% humidity. At least they say that it will get hotter!!!

You should also try their Russian Imperial Stout and IPA they are both VERY good as well.

I have that problem with SWMBO sometimes. If I go beyond the 2 limit I usually get the story about how alchoholism runs in her family. But that's NOT my family. This makes it VERY hard to even try and tie one on ever.

Where's her dad in that video??? I'd like to see mom relay that story once she got home. That would be the real video.

I drink one or two a night because the taste relaxes me. It soothes my soul knowing that the day is done. I think about that beer ALL day long - and even at times throughout the day I swear that I can taste that beer on my tongue. (Having 3 or more just puts me to sleep on the couch by 10...

6 months and 8 batches!!! (I might be a noob, but I'm a damn fast learner!!!) 117

Isn't that a good excuse to have a party???? Have your friends bring the beer, you supply the chips, and keep and wash out their bottles. OR just go on a drinking binge and empty your own bottles.

I just wash the yeast and bottle it in baby jars and keep using it. Sometimes it takes a bit longer to get started, but I have NO problems so far. It's kinda odd, but I have never used a starter and never had a problem. I have a third generation CA ALE Yeast ferementing in a strong IPA right...

I'll get there. My primary and 2 secondaries are full so I've either got to use the bucket or wait a week. Pliny does look MIGHTY tasty!!!!

It was placed in the carbouy earlier with an OG of 1.068. Beer Smith said it should be at 1.071 so I think that I must have done most everything pretty close what it should have been.

THANKS!!! 2 more hop additions to go. Then a nice little ice bath for my Walmart Kettle.

3 hop additions down and 5 to go!!!! Than 2 to dry hop!!!! This is gonna be GREAT!!!! (My wife will give birth to our son this week and I will give birth to some hoppy goodness!!!!)

me likes hops

That website will help a ton. THANKS!!!!

I think that I over pitched my last batch. The beer tastes great but is cloudy as hell. But I just can't shell out the cost of new yeast vials with each beer. If we were taliking baby food jars...... how much yeast should I pour from one of those jars?

I actually hugged my new copy of Brew magazine. (Is there an intervention that I might require at some point soon???? I'm only nearing brew number eight!!!! But I drool while looking at all AG systems.) HELP????!!!!

Made my first batch last night!!!! 1459!!!!
