New from WI

Brewing with extract since 2010, Had a HomeDepot gift card for 2013 Christmas and decided spend it on a 10gal cooler for AG this winter. AG is more work but much better beer. Now I know what people mean by extract tang...

Live in Lodi WI but SnowCreek is where my cabin is in N WI where I do all my brewing, great well water and a cold basement for lager brewing and cool fermenting APA's in the summer

[Hello]

Welcome! Extract twang doesn't exist in every extract brew but I do love all grain brewing.

thanks-

i always thought I was immune from twangy beer with extract but tonight's lager taste test proved me wrong

I had a Urq clone #2 (my last extract) and Urq clone #3 (1st AG), all the same except the malt starting point. #2 was OK, #3 was really good, even by the wife standard. No hiding in those lagers.

Welcome to the site, almost too much information on here... awesome place to keep you busy for a very long time.
I'm orig from Waukesha. All my family is in SE WI. Navy moved my away and after 22 years ended in the Norfolk, VA area. Kids finishing high school and getting into college so maybe some day I will make it back. If my brother had his way I would already be there.

watching the Milwaukee Brewers (who else?) beat up on the AZ D-backs. Just finished an Urg#1 homebrew. I usually make 3 or 4 lagers during the winter season. Lagers get numbers on the caps, ales get letters, so I have #1, #2 and #3 Urqs in the beer fridge, S for Sierra Pale Ale and D for Dead Ringer or Bell's 2 Hearted. Yesterday I planted 6 Cascade rhizomes, but after smelling the aroma from Centennial in the Dead Ringer wished I did those. I have 2 Sterlings that will be 3 years old but they have not done much since they only get half days sunshine being on an eastern slope

Welcome to the group

AG makes it more fun and authentic to me, and is worth the additional time and labor.
