    Festbier BierMuncher's OktoberFAST Ale (AG)

    I don't think there is much yeast that likes it above 70F other than Hefeweizen style yeast. Most of the ales I have made, like it best between 65-68F.

    A little late on the reply. I would NOT substitute the Amber or Pale LME with a Munich LME. IMO, the 80% 2-row addition will throw the flavor off.

    Help With First Brew, Weird Taste

    If you have an OG reading that low, I would keg the Beer, force carbonate at 8psi and let it age at least a week at cold temperatures. If you are bottling, add 4oz of dextrose to the 5gal. batch, stir well and then bottle and let age 3-4 days at fermentation temperatures and then refrigerate...

    Good Area of Baltimore To Live in

    How many people here actually have lived or currently live in Baltimore to make such generalizations? I live in Baltimore and know many people going to UM Medical School and Hopkins that live around the Patterson Park Area and Canton. I agree that Baltimore is a checkerboard city. But...
