No issues yet ("Knock Knock") Limited to 4oz. at LHBS, but haven't heard that they are running low as of yet.

Anyway! I think I could have framed my question differently. I was given some advice from a pretty successful business man. He said that in life, you want to choose your stink because you'll carry it with you. He chose sales, and grew by learning the industry and all the inner workings of his...

I'll leave you with some advice from good old Papazian. Relax, Don't worry! Have a homebrew! I'm sure there are tons of people on this site who'd be willing to share.

Thats a bit brash to say, don't you think since you wouldn't really know the answer to that. I wasn't trying to write an essay, just trying to get some peoples ideas on different aspects. My apologies for posting something more than once on a forum. Because that's never happened before...

I'm guessing there are many of you out there that aren't too fond of their desk jobs. I'm doing the grind. A 20 something living at home, working in Manhattan, doing what I studied. Making OK money.....BUT ID RATHER BE BREWING. I need some insights into the industry. I'm calling out to...

We do have some sulfer in the water. It comes and goes, but we had an issue for a while where it would smell a bit sulferish. So it may be good to get things tested. We have a backwashing system that utilizes salt, but its designed to that the salts do exactly that, backwash everything and we...

Thanks a lot! I actually live in Monmouth. I might have to take you up on that offer :ban:

I mean like bitter as a flaw. Its an unpleasant bitter. I actually started another thread and have been getting some good advice if you care to take a look. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/bitter-beer-407543/

I've only sparged once with water that was 170+ ( I think around 175), and that beer is still in the carboy so I have yet to give it a taste. Ill see if that made any difference, but everything else was around the 160 mark. I brewed yesterday with the modified hopping as suggested by union. I'm...

Thanks for the advice everyone ill give it a try on theologies hopping schedule.

I've brewed everything from a Hefeweizen to Irish ale. Stout. IPA and a wheat beer. So not particularly all hoppy.

So I've used different kinds of hops in my recipes. I'm fairly new to AG. Only about 7 batches under my belt. My wheat ale was one example. I used only an ounce of Amarillo. Pretty basic hopping schedule. .5 at boil then .5 at 30 mins. Came out pretty bitter. But I've noticed the IPA which was...

Hi everyone I tried to find something on this but wasn't too conclusive, so I apologize for anything redundant. I seem to have an issue with a bitter aftertaste in my beers. It's not hoppy bitter, its just an unpleasant bitterness in the back of the mouth. It does mellow out a bit with age...

Hey everyone. Chris here from Jersey. Fairly new to brewing...only about 8 batches under my belt. Learned how to brew from a buddy in school who's now a certified ciceron, so I thought that was pretty cool! I can get a little impatient so I skipped over extract brewing and went right to all...
