I'm in New Braunfels with Hunter! Keep us posted!

Ha, I had a "radar", too. Miss her :-( This is Cinna.

Kombucha will definitely give you "detox headaches" when one first begins drinking it. Take it slow at first. Maybe half a bottle every other day or so. It will go away shortly, but yes, it is a very common side effect. I drink it regularly now without ever getting a headache, but that was...

Seriously, Austin (the city) should be embarrassed...

One word of advice with cinnamon sticks...make sure you're actually getting cinnamon and not cassia. Many sticks are sold as "cinnamon" when they are actually cassia. What's the difference? Cinnamon = cinnamon rolls and apple pie. Cassia = red hots and cinnamon toothpaste.

For your mid-day comic relief, here's me and my dad at my debutante ball...BAHAHAHAHA! I made sure to dye my hair a purpley brown the day of out of spite. Oh the joys of being a southern gal.... Senior Year of HS (2001)

I've found in general baking coconut flavoring to be pretty horrible. Tastes like bubblegum. You could have used coconut rum in place of straight coconut, or if done in advance, you soak toasted coconut in vodka, grain alcohol, or rum to draw the flavors from the coconut, and then add that now...

Just finished my first brew with the wilser bag, and it is so bad @ass. Wish I would have gotten this bag sooner! Ample room in the bag, secures great with the draw string and pinch-hold thing, catches so much more grain sediment, and it cleans beautifully. Customer for life! :rockin:

Forgot to mention I did change the hops schedule on this. I did: All crystal- 1oz 60 min 1oz 15 min 1oz 5 min Because it's what bitter wussies do ;-)

Come on by! Graff??? First I've heard of this. Googled - sounds good!

It's in my "wishlist!"

Ha, yes, that is quite fancy! Too fancy for this first time go, but super cool! I want.

Hmmm, never thought about using CO2 cartridges...

Good idea. I like that it's taller and more narrow.

I'm wanting to take a keg of homebrew to a reunion in a couple months, and am wondering what's the best route for cooling and serving kegged beer without a kegerator? Should I plan to submerge it in one of those plastic "beverage buckets" filled with ice water, connect to a CO2 tank, and use a...

The scoby formation depends on the time. The stronger and blacker the tea, the stronger the scoby forms (and more vinegary the taste). Lighter teas make slimmer scobies. But the magic is they all work, skinny or fat ;-)

I know this is an ancient thread, but I thought I'd update for possible future reference... I just kegged this beer 3 days ago, and it is a really good beer. I like smooth, malt-forward, low IBU brews, and this one hits all those criteria. It's a beautiful color, too! It's a good, balanced...

The best, most spoiled dog on the planet...George!

It's fine. Looks totally normal. Just forming a new scoby. Also, I never worry about my scoby drying out or punching it down. It's fiiiiiinnnnnne.

My Wilco station on Pandora...or NPR. Weekend NPR is awesome!
