    Tasting wort after finished boil *gag*

    What are you drinking now?

    I'm drinking something light and refreshing. Pale malt with some dextrose. Also, a little crystal 10 for sweetness... German noble hops... Very drinkable!

    Don't Do That.

    Brew a batch of beer and have a pile of stinky trash laying around. If you do this, you may have stinky trash beer. :cross:

    What are you drinking now?

    I'm currently consuming my signature Smooth Sailor Summer Ale. It's a very simple dry extract beer with WYEAST Cream ale yeast. I use Cascades and Saaz as my hops.(I know mixing German Noble hops with American hops is a little crazy):D Also put in 3/4 oz. sweet orange peel at the end of the...

    Muntons dry ale yeast... Yea or Ney?

    I will vote yes on Muntons Ale yeast. I have brewed 2 beers with the yeast and they have both turned out great. Both have been malty style beers and the yeast works excellent with them. It has a very clean flavor and provides a clean malt finish. The finishing gravity has been higher using...
