    hope it's OK!

    Just a suggestion -- I think you might substitute liquid malt extract (LME) for lime in your recipe, probably safer and better-tasting overall But seriously it looks like it'll be good

    Keg Dry-hopping

    I use big sanitized stainless steel tea ball (4" across) somewhat full of hops (leave room for expansion), toss it in the keg.

    MD to SD - Driving

    Surly is having a party the 18th of June I think because their law got passed (amending statutes so Surly can have a combination brewery/retail/eatery destination), if you're in town that day. If not, I recommend the tour. Summit in St Paul also does tours. Or just hit Town Hall brewpub...

    Homebrewing as a tax write off?

    :off: I think what you are getting at is that federal laws must be based in one of the powers enumerated in the US Constitution, e.g., the commerce power, the police power, the taxing power. (I can think of several federal laws not in the Constitution that preempt state law.) On...

    10 weeks- IIPA - 14% ABV - too much?

    DFH is 9% though, right? That's a far cry from a 14% beer.

    How long do you ?

    1. I leave my beer in the primary until I feel like kegging it. Definitely more than a month, I'm sorta lazy, y'know 2. I don't secondary anymore, use those for apfelwein and cider. 3. I don't bottle anymore, see #1 I have beer in fermenters at probably 4-5 months right now. I really...

    Tell us what your first beer was

    PBR - my older friends thought it was funny to send me up to the Korean market up the street on a BMX bike at 11 years old to buy beer. I came back with three six-packs balanced on the handlebars. The Korean market was less than meticulous about checking ID, but what the hell, it was '84

    Autolysis Myth - BUSTED

    I have three different five-gallon batches of homebrew that need kegging, ranging from probably three to five months of sitting on yeastcake. I'll see if I can get motivated to keg some beer today (seems to fit the theme of the thread) and we will see how it is coming along. Leaving your...

    Recipe Copyrights?

    I think it's important to emphasize the distinction that ANY COPYRIGHT ON A RECIPE FOR BEER HAS NO IMPACT ON WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN BREW THAT BEER FROM THAT RECIPE, IT ONLY PROHIBITS UNAUTHORIZED DUPLICATION OF THAT PARTICULAR PRINTED RECIPE FOR BEER. Copyright protects original works in a...

    If society as we know it collapsed...

    When SWMBO tells me to quit working 'cause she wants to support me and pay all my bills I'll start worrying about making soap in my backyard. Until then I'll keep on spending my days inching my way up Debt Mountain. I think if the world went apocalypse, though, I would make whiskey. Good...

    How Much Money Is There To Be Saved?

    I've saved a lot of money by homebrewing (as long as we don't take into account the $150 on brew gear and the $500 on kegging gear and the $100-$200 spent on odds and ends). Okay, maybe "saved" is not the right word.

    Earliest Time it is "Acceptable" to drink on brew day...

    I enjoy the beauty of a fine spring morning, as the sun rises and begins to warm the evening's chill from the air, but I have found that it pairs particularly well with a beer.
