Major congratulations. Love the name and having lots of fun imagining a label or tap handle. "She said her stereo was four-way . . . "

I stashed the keg with my first batch of this behind our table at a local Chili/Salsa cook-off and beer tasting event. My co-workers and I enjoyed quite a bit of it and also shared it with folks stopping by the table. It was the perfect beer for this event. The batch came out INCREDIBLY...

Just had a (probably bad) idea while watching my wort come to a boil. Cream of 3 crops. 3 grains like one of my favorite beers -- Triple Karmeleit. Karmeleit is barley, wheat and oats. But it had me wondering what this beer would be like with a Belgian yeast. I did a couple batches of a...

Took today off work. Just mashed in my first batch of Cream of 3 Crops. It's a gorgeous day. The Giants home opener starts in a few hours. I've got 3 racks of ribs to put on the smoker later. Life is good.

Just mashed in on my first batch of this. Hit 152 on the nose. Should be a perfect brewday. I took the day off work. I have 3 slabs of pork ribs to throw on the smoker later. It's a beautiful day in the driveway brewery. And the Giants home opener starts in a few hours.

Garret Oliver's all up in the bacon beer. “One of two things will happen,” Mr. Oliver predicted. “Either this will be the most amazingly disgusting thing you’ve ever tasted in your life. Or I shall rule the earth.”

Not beer but getting closer Yoder's Canned Bacon

+1 to that. After I do my Peanut Butter and Banana beer, I think I will put Peanut butter and bacon on the list.

Brian Hunt was a guest on the 1-24-10 Sunday Session and man, this guy has done some SERIOUS THINKING about beer. I know that almost no one here has had the chance to try his (Moonlight Brewing's) beers, but I still highly recommend giving the show a listen. I found his perspective to be...

In addition to the very local to Napa suggestions already given . . . About 45 min away is Petaluma where you can visit the Lagunitas Tap Room or the TAPS beer bar (30 taps, many local, most delicious). Maybe another half hour beyond is Santa Rosa, where you will find Russian River. I love...

It's been a while, but anything come of your TAPS meeting. I will bring it up the next time I talk with the fellas down there. SteveG, just saw this comment and had to laugh . . . or I should say I can finally laugh. About 10 days after your post I took a walk down to TAPS on a Friday...

Mojo Nixon, Todd Snider, Pavement, Wilco, Shins, Silversun Pickups, U2, Replacements, Geardaddies, Richard Thompson, Cracker. Sometimes I will download an episode of The Sunday Session from The Brewing Network, throw it on my iPod and make it a total beer immersion experience.

Try the world famous Toronado beer bar on Haight St. If they don't have it I guarantee you will find something else you've never seen. Cash only. You could also try Magnolia. I've never been, but hear it is a good spot for a beer. I believe that the Rogue Alehouse also carries a good...

I've read through most of this thread, and something about this keeps nagging at me. It doesn't make sense to me that the amount of time that the wort has been left out/open determines what bugs you get. If that was the case and I wanted Saccharomyces, could I just wait two weeks and THEN put...

I like the method of marking the stick "backwards" so that you put the stick at or near the top of the surface of the liquid in the container. That way you don't have to dip the measurer in the liquid if contamination is a concern.

Was my turtle joke so good that this thread died from last October until today? Ok, let's get this mutha going again. Guy goes into a bar. After a couple of drinks, the bartender bets him $100 that he can show him a piano player that's a foot talk. The guy accepts the bet, the bartender...

I'm going for it. Brewed a dunkelweizen today and reserved about a quart of chilled wort in a jar. I plan on leaving it outside during the day and seeing what happens. I have terrible lab-type equipment and technique, but have some pals that I think will help me out once my sample is...

Not to mention he forgot to inform us whether she was hot. :P

Did you say unicorn?
