    Do you ever enjoy cheap beer?

    A couple years ago I emailed PBR everyday for like a year trying to get them to redistribute Ballentine xxx ale in cans again. I grew upon a boat with them green canned hop bombs. Unfortunately after countless emails, I was informed that they will no longer distribute in cans. Now I'm left with...

    Bell’s Two Hearted Ale...meh

    Many beers have this distinction nowadays. I recently had a Dogfishead 120. Talk about trying to fit the old girl in a new dress. Things change/evolve.

    What is your ratio of keepers vs dumpers?

    How long are you letting the beer in the primary. That may be a contributor to your soapy taste. Generally doesn't happen except for long oh crap I forgot about that beer. It does however happen. Maybe 3weeks in the fermenters then bottle /keg. I generally dump 1out of 10 batches for various...

    BRUT IPA: What is your favorite aroma hop?

    I've also heard of using wlp644 for a Ne Ipa doing the tropical thing.

    BRUT IPA: What is your favorite aroma hop?

    would smell like a cat peeing on a pine tree. citra and amarillo pair very well, eldorado and denali as a combo is probably what your loooking for in a pineapple taste. I also recently had an amarillo pekko blend that was tropical; not a pineapple bomb, but tropical tasting.

    Any reason to not do this?

    I keg hop often. It doesn't react the same way as a warm dry hop. you will extract flavor and some aroma, but the benefit is you don't have to drink the beer in 5 days to avoid grassy or off flavors.

    Berliner using acid malt?

    Has anybody ever used copious amounts of acid malt to make a quick berliner? Seems it could be done but maybe tricky dialing in the mash ph? I add a little acid malt to a lot of my recipes to get mash ph in acceptable range , but I have like 10 lbs of it laying around and want to use it up...

    how many in the pipeline?

    I think I've finally realized that I've crossed into obsessive territory. I was finishing up a 10 gal Batch of "mexicanish ale" and while transferring it into the fermenter took an inventory on whats on hand ready to go, conditioning and fermenting. So on tap I have an Esb, kolsch, pale ale and...

    The craft beer bubble is busting.

    I wasn't even thinking nationally; I was more focused on local smaller breweries. But you are right. I can't possibly imagine how spendy it would be to bring a beer brand nationally. 10 years ago , maybe. Nobody gave this craze an afterthought. When Inbev started buying small breweries, you...

    The craft beer bubble is busting.

    Very true. The fall out then is a brewer faces a no win situation.How can you market one off brews and sell them at a normal pint price point. Seems said brewers are paintin themselves into a corner and catering to a tiny niche inside an already small niche. Speaking of that; one more thing to...

    The craft beer bubble is busting.

    So, when will the bubble burst and why? Everything is finite and it will burst at some point. I go to breweries all the time (travel a lot) and most are passable, some terrific and some are utter garbage. ( Just like most industries) . I see this industry getting gimmicky real quick. I...

    Those lookin for a cheap big ass kettle

    It was a big ole' steam jacketed soup kettle with nice fittings that would be relevant, tilted, and was half automated. Probably around 50gal. Only downside is that it was gas fired.
