Second Brew Is Under Lock

[PanzerOfDoom]

Belgian Pale Ale, pitched from a starter 1.5 hours ago and already have activity in the airlock.

Applied all my lessons learned from the first batch, all went flawlessly; OG was spot on 1.056.

No home brew ready so I am drinking this:

Well, not a bad stand-in for homebrew.

I know how you feel. My 2nd has been under lock for 2 days and is starting to slow down. I took my lessons learned and applied them also. I hit my target OG spot on.:rockin: ! Good luck with yours. My first is not done and I am drinking some brews from Southern Tier Brewery in Lakewood NY. They make some great stuff and are highly rated from what I've read. Wish I had what you have though.

I had a Pilsner Urquell one time and I found it to be incredibly skunky. Are they supposed to be skunked up? Is it the hops or was mine stale?

PU shouldn't be skunky. It's a pretty clean and smooth beer. Yours might have been a bad bottle.

All the urquell i get in chicago is skunk. That is why i hate that crap.

This batch was much slower to start a vigorous ferment than my last, 24 hrs for krausen and lock action to start kicking. Wyeast Leuven Pale Ale, with a starter.

Pilsner Urquel gets skuky cause of those damn green bottles.
Pretty good brew when not skunky, though I prefer Budvar (Czechvar in North America) in the 500ml brown bottles.

PU should be available in 500ml cans as well.
