Just made an all grain porter yesterday and the fermentation took off vigorously in just hours. Every time I do a darker beer this is my experience. I am guessing it has something to do with the dark malt the little yeasties just love it.

I can never find my brewing pants on brewday. How can anyone brew without brewing pants?

I can only turn one of my reg valves using pliers or a strong gripping surface. I can no longer turn it by hand. It is like some grit or something got into the threads. Any ideas?

So what do you think? I took a big step off the deep end yesterday and just put ingredients together, like I do when making dinner. Sans recipe and all. I just coasted on my experience and intuition. So far the thing looks great and smells amazing. I mean I took notes so I can repeat it, or...

My favorite chili seasoning. It is a cross local blend of flavors between Cincinnati and Texas. Use it at 1 - 2 tablespoons per pound of beef with an equal amount of plane jane chili powder (all to taste of course). My chili recipe calls for corn, black beans, tomatoes, and diced beef (I know...

So I have a spending habit on this stuff. I'd like to think that I have a refined palette, and I l really enjoy shopping for the stuff. I have been good at picking out aromas that are in there before the woman behind the counter tells me what is in it. I've been diggin on Christian Dior...

What gives Bell's that soft mouthfeel and smooth easy drinking character? Is it the water profile. I really dig on the contribution that two hearted picks up from it, but the amber seems a little thin, and oberon is way sweet. I think it is all attributed to this soft smoothness.

Anybody ever make banana wine? I'm going to tonight.

Whisky/Bourbon/Scotch Well My father has been into home distilling (alternative fuel sources) for a while now. It’s funny how all his fuel sets in oak for a few years and then comes out tasting like Knob Creek. :confused: I didn’t know I could run my car on that stuff. I have been playing...
