    How to properly prepare for accurately tasting beer?

    I like to rinse with everclear between samples. Seriously the above suggestions are spot on. Any type of fairly neutral bread or cracker will be okay, avoid flavored varieties.

    Making beer with 15 year old extract

    Of course I'm not that crazy but while climbing down the rabbit hole at YouTube I ran across someone who was. It's worth watching to hear the first line utters upon tasting it then he tries talking himself into liking it! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g09b17V4NWQ Did I mention he used...

    This is a rather special beer to me. My best friend passed last august and I picked up grains for the beer from his house in April. They were from June 2016 and had been milled, not a lot of aroma left in em. I added 1# pilsner & .5 munich. Replaced his hops with fresh ones of the same variety...

    Mosaic, Simcoe, Citra IPA

    I have an APA on tap that used equal parts citra simcoe cascade and it's a wonderful blend of citrus and fruit with pine hints. I too prefer hoppy fruitiness as a compliment to citrus pine dank and other less fruity character. That said I've made and enjoyed all mosaic blondes and pale ales...

    What are you making this for? A beer or sensory experiment or something else? What do you want to accomplish with this?

    What I did for beer today

    I simply bought beer helping to feed perhaps 1000+ people who work in the 7 breweries represented in my two mixed 6 packs as well as those involved in distribution, shipping, farmers who grew the raw materials, miners who collected the ore to produce aluminum cans and bottle caps, pigment...

    100 Batches or Bust

    Yea I'm wondering about batch size myself. This could produce something between 100 and 1000 gallons of beer. Also at $20 per 5 gallons that could get expensive.

    100 Batches or Bust

    Everyone knows 200 batches is the demarcation line for achieving 'experienced brewer' status. You're just a wuss whose afraid to brew 150 batches this year! Others have laid out the logic pretty well, it takes practice of the skill, study, and familiarity with a set of equipment to reach your...

    Worst Craft Breweries

    K_sweets, I found mystery romp a coffee milk stout iirc to be very good and the heff wasn't bad. The same can't be said for now defunct crooked letter brewing's marketing. Something I think missing from a lot of these types of discussions is how different and individualistic taste are. Just...

    What are your contrarian/"unpopular" beer opinions?

    It irks me that many people simply don't recognize the validity of others views because X view isn't reflective of their experience. My taste buds are different from yours, my brew house is different, my yeast management is different, results may vary and that's okay.

    Omg brew on site facility!

    From the title I thought you were going to be bragging on the brew onsite. Big congrats and good luck on your capitalist pursuits! Pleasing your fellow man and providing services for fees makes the work go round!

    Pete's Wicked Ale

    dmtaylor, that looks like the recipe provided by the company to customers prior to the sale of the brand.

    Pete's Wicked Ale

    As someone who never had the beer this may be an odd post. I just thought of this beer earlier today and googled it. I listened to a recent BN podcast with Pete Slosberg as guest. He didn't talk much, they didn't really discuss his brewing experiences much, I think they literally talked...

    Just got some sad news:-(

    I'm in south Mississippi near Hattiesburg. Less than a year ago a local bottle shop added homebrew supplies. His prices on base malt are GREAT, some other things are quite expensive and there are other bargains. The selection is quite limited also. I've been thinking of opening a shop myself but...
