Hey, The beer is still in the fermenter. I have been moving and have not had time to do brew work. I will be sure to give an update.

Welcome from South Denver!

Thinking imperial stout. May try to crank the ABV up to 15-20%. Still thinking about it though.

So looking to brew something kind of special only one time a year that takes a year to age. Think it would be cool to have something that I brew on an annual basis as a kind of annual tradition. I was thinking maybe a barley wine. Any ideas? Thank you

I found it down south at Lukas Liquors. They have a pretty good beer selection.

Hey, I tried a new beer today. It is called the Colorado Native. It is a Lager that is supposedly entirely made in Colorado with CO hops and grains. It is a Coors beer in disguise though. I would describe it as a lighter fat tire. It's pretty good, nothing real special though...

So it is getting hot outside and I am going to be keeping my carboys in a house that is not air conditioned this year. I don't really care to go through building a temp control chamber this year but I still want to keep brewing. I am sure this probably has been talked about but what styles and...

just need 3 more people http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1/register/tos?league_id=262396&password=denver

Ok yeah I will make sure to get them into pots this weekend. Thanks

Just got my first Rhizomes. From what I understand I need to wait until the weather gets better before I plant, so Mayish. I put the rhizomes in the fridge. Do I need to do anything or are they fine chilling in the fridge? Should I put a small amount of water in the bag with them? Thanks

Hey, Made a starter on Thursday for the wild yeast. Brewed the beer and went to pitch the yeast. It had a kind of Belgium beer smell to it. It is fermenting away today. Gave the airlock a whiff and smelled kind of like nail polish remover. Does that mean I need to lower the temperature...

Thanks for the tips Barc. I put a sterile lid on it and moved it to the fridge. Any tips on what to brew? I was thinks something really basic with pale malt and maybe a little Halletreu hops.

Sorry no pics yet. I was out of town for the weekend. So it really looks like I have yeast in there now since there is a krausen. I am not brewing until this coming friday though. I closed the window. Should I put a lid on it and put it in the fridge or just leave it in the open air until I...

hmmmm looks like I caught something in the jar since it is bubbling. I am going to wait another week before I do anything with it since my carboys are all full. Think I could strain it with cheese cloth before it goes into a starter? I will try to take a pic of it later today.

Yeah we are in the time of year where one day it is in the 60's and the next it is snowing. I am thinking it will be fine if I just close the window when it gets below 40. Also thinking about it the cheese cloth is necessary. Think I will leave the one I have there just to see what happens...

So I brewed the other day siphoned off a mason of wort and put it by the window. I checked on it tonight and there is no activity yet as expected. I did notice though that there is a layer of dust and dirt sitting on top of the wort. Should I shrug it off or try again and put a piece of...

Hey, Looking to fill some spots in my fantasy baseball league. I have it set to public so anyone can join. http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/thesteroidworldseries Feel free to PM me if you have questions. Thanks

I wouldn't bother with getting the ported one. I have one glass carboy and one better bottle. I like the better bottle a lot. I use the glass one as the primary and the better bottle as the secondary. The better bottle is easy to clean and easy to handle. As for length of time in the better...

I would be concerned about mercury.... don't want to turn into a Mad Brewer (Hatter).
