Thought I would check back in here. I have since seen my Dr. and he confirmed I am now considered Type 2 Diabetic. He told me he likes to take it a step at a time, and put me on a statin, Lipitor, despite my cholesterol being in the normal range and my triglycerides being 155. He also ordered me...

an interesting note is the following Tuesday they had a free health check up at work where they check your cholesterol Glucose etc. So I went about 12:30 pm. My non-fasting Glucose was 81, and my cholesterol readings all dropped also. now my normal diet is to take in 500-700 calories during the...

10 more gallons fermenting

Hi team, I keg my beer in cornies, and lately my 5 lb co2 tank has been lasting about 4 weeks or less, which isn't even 10 gallons. I prime from a 15 lb tank I keep them in a keezer prior to transferring to my kegerator. Anyhoo I figure I have a leak. I have tried the normal method of using...

I dry hopped with Citra. Its just awful. leaves this soapy aftertaste in your mouth

I just popped a keg of my Red ale, and it just doesn't taste right. the best I can describe it is Soap. I'm tempted to dump it anyone had this happen ?

The honey flavor comes from the Honey malt yes. It complements the crystal, and combined with the Vienna gives this beer a rich flavor. I am kegging 10 gallons this week that is dry hopping with Citra right now.

Yes. It will just be a little lighter in color but the flavor will be pretty much the same.

Just dropped 10 gallons into the fermenter

Depends on how bitter you want it. I don't like my ales too bitter, 30-35 IBU. I bitter with Cascade, and then Dry Hop with the Citra. That way you can really make the tropical flavors of Citra shine
