    The Most You've Spent

    I'm worse at the bar with a friend. Especially the pricey beer bars around boston. I've dropped a 200 bar tab between me and a friend, strictly on beer. And yes I staggered out. I actually just went to a great beer store about 30 or so minutes away from me in acton ma called colonial spirits...

    How do you use gelatin finings?

    I use my lagerator to crash cool my beers after they are long done, and when they are somewhere between 32-40 I throw in a cup of dissolved knox (one packet) jello. Then I wait a day or two to rack off to a keg. I don't like the idea of gelatin in my keg for some reason. Has done a great job on...

    Which beer to brew first?

    Yeah, I can't wait on that Saison, that yeast is probably my favorite yeast of all time at the moment. And I aint got no choice but to wait on the Oktoberfest, though I'm craving -mouth agape drooling- for one right now...

    Keg lube and mini co2 injectors

    The other day I noticed a leak in my keg set up. My freshly filled c02 tank was at zero. I emptied a c02 cartridge into it with my mini injector and popped on a pressure gage. 1 cartridge gave me 13 psi. The next day it was empty so I opened up the top and lubed up the top's o ring. Gave another...

    Favorite Clone

    I havent done a clone yet, but if I did, it'd be Berkshire Beer Company's River Ale. I'd probably make it every weekend.

    What beer would you describe as the beer that 'awakened' you...?

    Sam Adams probably started the train of thought leading to craft brewing for me, but it wasn't until I had a delirium tremens where I was like, whoa.

    At what point did your homebrew go from good to great?

    My biggest hurtle is trying to not to try so hard. After stumbeling/crashing through extract, all grain, kegging and all that, I'm finally now chilling my dill with extract and steeping while trying to do the essentials. To me the essentials are: clean buckets, good pitching/fermenting temps (I...

    Experimentation lager mash fun time

    Thanks for the advice. I was reading Designing Great Beers last night on Pilsners/light lagers, and 2-row english pale did not come up in the discussion for great lager malts. I think I might devote this bag to ales and order a bag of pilsner or American 2-row for the lager experiment.

    Experimentation lager mash fun time

    So I've got this 50 pound bag of English Pale malt. I was thinkin, If I put together the most bare boned beer recipe where the only variables between them would be: The yeast, the mashing rests, and my mistakes (inevitable) then... it'd be pretty effin cool! I probably got some of yall...

    Do you prefer homebrew to commercial micro-brew?

    Recently that's been a tough question, because I just kegged and tapped my first ipa and it was probably one of the best ipa's I've ever had. Killed it! The thing is, I can drink more different beers on the weekend than I can brew in one month. And there are some companies that really try to do...

    Brewery names--what's your story?

    I've got three I kick around in my head. 1. Bay State Brewing Company - Cuz I'm in Mass 2. Dub Cut Brewing Company - one of my nick names 3. Starbarely Brewing Company - Kind of like Starbury. I like the sound of it, but not the look of it. (just to be clear I'm not a huge Stephon Marbury...

    Losing weight and inches without giving up beer

    How timely of a post, as I'm just starting to diet and exercise myself after a long respite. I'm lookin to shed some serious pounds. I've put on about 80 pounds in the last three years. Suffice to say drinking has played a roll. No drinking during the week is going to be a big part, and modest...

    A New England Lager label

    I like the idea of this wrapping around a tall boy. With maybe more stuff going on under it.

    Off to Amsterdam

    Amsterdam is such a great town. I had the best time when I went last spring. I found the dutch to be the nicest people. I split the time of 7 nights between amsterdam and brussels, and I couldn't get myself through 2 grams of you know what. Take into consideration I don't partake that much...
