I learned something about 13 years ago from what might be the best boss Ive ever had and probly ever will have. That is this "Forgiveness is easier to get then permission" I dont know who said it, but it's a great sentiment. Especially with the SWMBO. Conversley, my SWMBO can at times have a...

Im prone to the heavy,...Black Sabbath, Weedeater, Electric Wizard, Acid King, Jucifer, High on Fire, St Vitus, The Hidden Hand...I dunno down tuned, fuzzy riffs just help concentration.

Yes rev, I must admit in my more detailed searching I have uncovered more info that has answered moat of my quandaries.....I will do 1000 rjenhinsckeboot ( you know like hail Marys) and 500 "I will sanitize ...." as pennance. :)

WOW.... really???... no secondary?? NOW I have questions, Is that typical of IPA's just leaving the beer in the primary till bottling time?? If so How long?(on avg i know it depends) The few brews Ive done, the primary, secondary ferm times added up till around 4 weeks. Why the difference??? Is...

This isnt really a question, but more of a thought out loud to see what someone who feels like responding thinks. I brewed an AHS Falconer's Flight IPA last weekend, now according to the directions, I should be moving it to the secondary fermentor today or tomorrow. (7 days later) Now, I have...

Again Im not complaining but I tend to agree, a simple hey we're swamped, and we are doing the best we can, we will get you your order as soon as we can. type e-mail wouldnt kill anyone

I too ordered from AHS because of their sale, and had just brewed a kit I orederd from them, and as I stated in the email to Aaron, (the guy who answers the emails at AHS) I got an email with all the pertinant info on my first kit like the next day, where as the sale items I had ordered, I...

Depending where you live you maybe able to look on craigslist, or ebay and get a good deal on some used stuff.. I picked up my "starter kit" that way a most a year ago, I got all the nessicary equipment plus, extra ferm bucket, extra bottling bucket, bottles cappers, caps grain bag, tubing...

this is my guy Lemmy, he is always reminding me to sanitize, read Papazian ,and rdwhahb, next best thing to the swmbo

Thanks guys that makes me feel better, I think what I will do is wait at least another week or so before sampling another and see what happens. And in the future Uncle Revy, I will be sure to mind my sentence and paragraph structure more closely when asking for help :D:D Seriously thanks...

Now this IS my first, and I cant wait till I empty enough bottles to get another brew going, I have noticed something in this first brew that has me wondering..This was an all extract brew (basically beer kool aid) 6 lbs of Coopers Austrailian Ale with a set of instructions from my LHBS that he...

Well here we are, I tasted my first batch today. Im not super impressed, but im not super disappointed either. I dont think I would purchase a beer like this, its kinda watery, the carbonation isnt really great, its got an opaque kind of coppery color, no real body or character.(swmbo says its...

Update #2 its bottling day!! acutally I think I got a little exited, and before I realized I was prepping to bottle a week early I had already gotten a few in, so Im gonna finish it and let it condition in the bottle for an extra week, oh and to make things a little harder on myself (cuz thats...

As a renter of most of my teen years and all of my adult life, and having rented from alot of "different" folks, sometimes particularly with bugs, acting then dealing with it is the way to go. I once had to hire exterminators (yes pluaral) for an entire day to rid my apt of an infestation that...

well it certainly looks like beer, it smells like beer, (it actually smells a little stale but maybe thats just the air from the bucket) and when I took my hydrometer reading, (which by the way looks ok) i did sneak a taste from the hydrometer flask it tastes like beer (kind of) a little...

Congrats man, I'm just about ready to rack my 1st to the secondary today, I cant wait Im like a gitty little kid at 3am on christmas morning, trying my best to stay in bed, but I KNOW there is something cool waiting for me in the other room

heh "Un-Santized Ale" its filthy good. RDWHAHB Nothin you can do about it now right? besides this isnt your first rodeo, im sure as habit you at least rinsed the primary and put a lid, bung on it after the last time you used it right?

#458 While youre brewing, you are explaining the process, sanitation, ingredients what they do, why you are adding what when, in great almost clandestine profetic detail to your dogs. #459 All you have to read in the head is Papizian and Palmer
