Hmmm.....poor Irish fans. It reminds me of being a Wolverine in Buckeye country. I hate those guys.

Yes I am. SA Octoberfest . It seems to be an annual favorite of mine,

I have had the same thing happen to me. After countless tests to confirm the condition, my physician recommended some exercises and rest. Surgery wasn't really recommended. I neglected to do the exercises, but after awhile the pain stopped. I will undoubtedly experience "flare ups" from...

8 years for me :)

I like the glass, but I think it's all in my head.

I agree with davidr2340, but hoses eventually will need to be replaced. They are cheap. I don't take a chance when I am in doubt.

Bummer. 5 hours worth of brewing and cleanup and you end up with Budweiser. Oh well, don't feel bad, my first AG tasted like vomit.:)

I just dumped out 5 gallons of my fall cider. It didn't taste that bad, but looked awful. It had what looked like a "jellyfish" in every bottle. :mad:

I think Stone's Smoked Porter tastes bad no matter what. It's the only beer I ever remember pouring straight down the drain. Of course, I am crazy about all of the rest of the Stone lineup.

It's funny you should mention it....All I asked for was brewing related things. I didn't get anything like It either.

Agonizing defeat for my maize and blue. :mad:

It is hard to put my finger on the problem and I am not trying to be funny when I say that I would truly compare it to a glass of vomit. It had that "sour stomach" type of thing going and was high in alcohol. There was not any yeast at all in the bottle and no sulfur taste or smell. It was...

Fellow home brewers are few and far between where I live. Occasionally, you meet someone that enjoys the hobby. When I do meet someone, I feel a strange bond with them. I recently met a husband of a co-worker who enjoys this hobby. He sent me a bottle of his aged cider for me to try. I drank...

It has been my experience that most American domestic beer drinkers often get to the point where "They can drink this, I guess" when it comes to feudal attempts for home brewers to try to impress them with a "gateway" beer. They still would prefer their usual brand when it is all said and done...

I consider my autosiphon my most important piece of equipment that I own. I broke one once and was so irritated with having to resort to the thumb and water method that I turned around and bought two so that I would have a spare. I would think the carboy cap would be equally as easy. I own...

I love Two Hearted Ale (and all Bell's beer), but I must admit it is not the type of beer that I would suggest for someone looking to acquire a taste for beer. You may want to start with a specialty beer or seasonal. There are many types of fruit beers (blueberry, cherry, and raspberry are...

I am with Odin. I have spent a considerable amount of time researching cider. I have made a few batches that I drank quickly. It wasn't until I had a few bottles sit for 12 months or more, that I realized that it takes a considerable amount of aging for the flavors to smooth out. On the...

No Worries. I use OneStep religiously. I hear that there are much better cleansers out there, but I have never had a single problem so I never tried any others. I am not that meticulous when it comes to drying off spoons, bottles, and tubing but I always soak them prior to using. Most of...

Did he drink around the thumb? I saw the spider at the bottom of the glass and managed to drink around it only wasting a couple of drops of beer. :)

I was just drinking one of many seasonal beers brewed by an famous brewery and I found a spider in it. I believe that it poured right out of the bottle. It is certainly possible that it dropped from the ceiling into my glass when I wasn't looking, but I don't think so because it was no longer...
