LOL. Still laughing :)

Well I finally got around to getting this beer to the friend that I made it for. I took a case with use when we got together for four days on Lake Oroville. She loves it. I was concerned that it might be to hoppy but she thought that was what made it great. The way she was drinking it I'm...

It's the same with food too. You cook a tri-tip, slice it up and have a great dinner. Then the next day you go to the fridge and grab a piece to nibble on and it doesn't taste as good. But you put it in the micro wave for 30 seconds and....BAM the flavor is back.

I think the flavors blend together better when the beer is cold. If you've ever had a room temperature beer and then had the same beer cold, they don't even taste like the same beer. To me anyway.

I forgot to update this batch. I was very concerned about how hoppy this batch was going to be. After letting it sit in the secondary for a few weeks before bottling, and then not tasting for about a month this is a real good beer. Yes the bite did mellow some. One thing I didn't take into...

One would think so. But people die every year from aliments that can be traced back to sleep apnea. I'm not saying that sleep apnea is the only cause it's side affects. After struggling for a couple years to get my blood pressure down and then getting a cpap machine it fell to a very...

That they know of. Most people that have it don't know they do. Like Celiac's, miss diagnosed most of the time.

Here is an interesting article on Celiac and Sleep Apnea. I hope this is an appropriate post. Sorry, I had to ZIP the file. It was to large to upload.

Well, I racked from the secondary to a keg yesterday. Man is that a hoppy beer. If it was for me it wouldn't be a problem, but it's for a friend who doesn't like really hoppy beer. I'm going to bottle it next week. I hope she can get use to it.

Nice list. Thanks

Thanks for the review.

Thanks. That sorghum after taste is what I'm trying to cut.

I didn't see where you gave a review of the brown ale. I'm very interested in how it tasted. Thanks.

Thanks. From the primary and washed it is.

Your welcome. Just trying to do my part.

It was my understanding that if you are going to reuse yeast, that you should get it from the secondary. I was also under the impression that yeast can last a long time if refrigerated.

I am planning on harvesting some of the yeast from the secondary when I get ready to bottle. I used dry yeast to start with. The package said to NOT make a starter or rehydrate. If I reuse the this yeast in the future should I make a starter make a starter?

I emailed White Labs to see if they have a gluten free yeast and this was there reply: According to a recent FDA ruling, anything under 20 ppm can be considered gluten free. Our yeast analysis: Yeast slurry in package~12 ppm. When our yeast is used with ingredients such as sorghum to make...

What will ferment out? The bitter or the sorghum after taste?

I accidentally doubled the cascade part of the hop schedule. It seemed really hoppy to me. That normally wouldn't be a big deal but this is for someone else. O.G 1.040. I hop she likes it. Oh yeah, It still had that spicy sorghum after taste.
