i heard a rumor that Bells isn't going to be distributed anymore to the chicago area/illinois. has anyone else heard this or know more about it?

its not fair for those not with university access... but we are allotted 80 color prints per semester... so at the end of the year, i printed out as many labels i coudl for all of my backstock and printed them out on university money. a gluestick works perfectly, and the labels come of...

you know what... i think that might be it. i added a gallon to the wort right away after the boil to help it cool down quicker. then added the remaining 2 gallons to it after i vigorously poured the wort into the primary with the yeast. i added the 2 gallons right on top... and that has to be...

i followed the directions that AHB provided: started with 2.5 gallons of water steeped the grains for 45 mins at 155 degF heat until boiling, add extract, return to boiling and add the bittering hops and boil for 1 hour. I'm certain that the time was right, because i watched two episodes...

i wish any of those suggestions were the case. the water line is up to the 5.5 gallon mark in my primary bucket. if anything, it is a little too much water IMHO. there is no way that a temperature difference could be so high as to alter the gravity that much. and i just checked the...

just brewed an oatmeal stout extract kit from austin homebrew. followed the directions to a T. this is my 5th batch, so i'm pretty confident i can follow the procedures correctly. the kit suggests that i should hit an OG of 1.053. my OG when i just tested some after i sent it to the primary...

bump for updated labels

what is the Wyeast equivalent to the White Labs Edinburgh Ale yeast? I have never used White Labs yeast, and am not really interested in screwing up this batch. Also, i'd like to get all my ingredients from austinhomebrew.com because of the free shipping. but they dont have all the specific...

yeah, my roommate just brewed his fat tire brown ale clone yesterday. i also have never tasted it, but it smelled dang good. it seems like quite the popular beer to brew though, i'll try to look for it next time. :mug:

hey guys, has anyone ever encountered any problems with removing the labels from bottles when there is beer inside? my roommate just bottled his newcastle, and all the bottles have the old labels on them. is it okay to use oxyclean in the appropriate amount and submerge those bottles for...
