I ran across this and thought y'all might enjoy http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6876682/beer-beer-goggles

If you have the means to keep it, by all means keep it. You will never know how it would have turned out if you toss it now... if you keep it, the flavors may mellow with time and you'll have an interesting brew. If it still tastes burnt in a few weeks, then toss it. At least you will know it...

I love the simpsons! And I am interested as to how this will turn out. I am going to subscribe and watch this recipe transform into Duff beer. P.s. sorry I am of no help, I am still new to brewing lol.

I am still new to brewing and have a limited knowledge on beer... But it seems, in the video, the bartender is saying color distinguishes ales vs lagers. Which isn't the case. However, they are doing a wonderful thing, this may help the men watching this show to venture out and try to drink beer...

This is NOT my posting, just moving it here if anyone is interested. http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/bfs/3345763009.html Complete turn-key brewing system from a recently closed brewpub. Would be perfect for small upstart or as a pilot system for larger brewery. Please e-mail me with any...

Welcome from San Antonio! Watch out, you're going to want more than that Mr. Beer kit once you start.

I actually position a fan blowing over the top of my boil. Works great!

I wasn't planning on using a cutting disk, just a little stone grinder. Im not sure if thats what its called...

Notching the spoon isn't a bad idea. But I will probably mark the pot because if I need to use a different pot the markings will be different. I will probably use a nail to scratch the surface, re oxidize, and the use. Thanks for the help!

So I have an aluminum turkey frier that was given to me, it is probably 7-8 gallons. I know aluminum has to have its oxide layer to be usable, and I'm not asking about whether I should use it or not. My question is, can I etch (with a dremel grinder) gallon and half gallon marks in the pot...

You got me at boggling. I can't comment on the yeast starter but, You cold crash before bottling to get a clearer beer. There will still be yeast in suspension, so you can bottle condition.

More bottles! 24 won't cut it for a 5gallon batch. At least another case. I've gotten 52 bottles out of one before. The autosiphon is a good one. A bottling wand is a good investment also.

I came home from school today and wanted a beer, I quickly realized that I had none cold. I decided to quick chill a bottle with ice and salt. It works well, except for one aspect. Too much head (which I will never complain about ever :D) lol temporary image hosting This is a yuengling...

Thats a question you have to answer yourself. Sounds like you do it for the pleasure of drinking your own brew. I do it because I enjoy doing things myself. And the satisfaction of brewing beer that people can enjoy makes me feel like somewhat of a bad a$$. But to each their own.

very true, its easier when they are fresh to clean them. on a side note, personally if I didn't have 5 bucks to spend on spring water, I would wait on brewing. I know its hard but the first step is Accepting you have a problem :cross:

I'm not the smartest here but I had a beer that after 2 weeks no carbing. But it took about 6 weeks... so give it a little time.

I will use a bag and not worry about the rest. Thanks again! Next time should be a bit faster

I wasn't for sure if the hops staying in the fermemter would create a more hoppy beer. But I will use a bag for my hops. And will just pour straight in.

looks like I will just place my hops, grain, etc is a bag just to keep them out completely. Sounds the easiest. Thanks guys!

I just got my 4th batch of beer into primary. Even though this is my 4th, I have changed a little of my process each time. It was my second time using a funnel with a strainer in it for transfering from brew pot to primary. First time I had no problems, but this time the screen kept getting...
