IMHO this is a great recipe to experiment w/. I made one batch as EdWort wrote it (it was great!). I think every batch I make of this I'll change up the hops, especially DH, and do some side by sides. I'm really trying to dial in hop varieties and techniques, man there is a lot to know. Cheers...

Man, reading all these posts makes me want get in my van and do some brew rambling. I've got SWMBO convinced to cash in some vacation and hit the road.:rockin:

^^^That is probably the funniest story I've read on this thread. This is a prime example why you should never, ever have a bachelor party close to your wedding. This reminds me of all the bachelor party antics I've been a part of and blocked from my memory. Case in point.... My buddies fiance...

I would suggest Portland and not just because I'm from here. There is a great range of brewing going on. You can hit up Bridgeport and Widmer, Hair of the dog or Rogue (pub, not brewery). There are soo many small local breweries my head is gonna explode. I could spend the rest of my life just...

Nice, congrats on brewing success! This is a good thread, you guys have some very nice rides.:mug:

IMHO in only 8 days of fermentation you didn't get a lot of yeast settling out of this. Did you cold crash it before bottling? I think it's more the amount of yeast left in the beer, not the strain. I usually get a clean taste out of knotty. But could be wrong, next time if you only use a...

Haha that's my baby, I'm selling her though... F'ing VW's:rockin:

That is a very nice studie springer!I imagine pretty rare. Hell they're all nice, I'll post a pic of my "classic"

For some reason rednecks schalac bull wieners. I knew this old guy that used one as a cane! I grew up in a very strange town. It just looks like a piece of funky wood:drunk:. I don't know why my buddy had one.

Nice dood, that looks really clean. I Bought a 67 w/ 289 from my grandma that sat in her garage for 15years. it was perfect to restore, perfect interior, straight. I sold it couple years ago, needed $, damn I wish I still had it.:rockin:

Congrats!:mug:

Ha ha funny, I have no reason to make up some story to a bunch of people I don't even know. I was just relating a funny experience. I'll try and get the picks up. I wish I had pictures of all the crazy ish I have seen/done, but that doesn't mean that they didn't happen.:p

Nice, I like the one's OP has already made. The interchangeable are nice too. If you're gonna make the brew, why use a commercial handle? I tend to make one-off weirdo ones. I'll get some pics put on 'puter. I have bought those threaded inserts and made handles out of funky bamboo, hard...

Nice! glad it turned out for ya. My recipe was similar. I found a bottle of Sublime-self-rightous. But g-damnit, the bottle was funky! Very harsh metallic taste, something def going on. I wrote it off as a bad bottle from Stone. But through the harsh taste I noticed mine was more up-front w/ the...

I thought the scenario involved gathering supplies and bouncing off to your own secluded fortress of solitude island? If so you should be able to get supplies in one swift kamakaze run: Sporting goods store, Beer Distributor, LHBS (maybe), grain store for seeds, local college campus (hey you...

Sorry dude, my sisIL has actually been checking out this forum cause she's interested in brewing, if she saw the pics she would kill me. But I might still, my wife hid them so I couldn't post em, but I'll try and find them.:p

It's hard to dial in the amount lost during boil, it can change. I've calibrated many times. If nothing else let the hydrometer tell ya what you're at. I've got figured pretty good to what volume I need w/ bout 15 min left in boil. I would rather add water then, than in the fermenter. But don't...

I'm w/ ya, looking for similar advice myself. I'm thinking of going with some sort DIY diptube w/ slots or holes. But I am concerned w/ plugging. Sorry to thread jack, looking forward to comments from the gurus.:mug:
