LOL... I always do eat one when I brew ;)

So I was on a diet from August 'til December or so... and lost a ton of weight ~ 45 lbs. I didn't have any beer on this diet at all...! Well... since then, I have been drinking beer again (and some whiskey here and there). And now, almost 5 months later, I'm a solid 38B. I swear... if it...

I'm in!

Count me in!!

I've never had a chourico flavored beer! How was it?

It's tough for those of us who are computer / security savvy to judge what the average user does. I can agree with that 95% of uses have experienced some sort of virus or other invasive software. That doesn't mean that these users have CC problems because of them. Most of this malicious software...

I'm interested! What variety of hops did you use? What size cup of coffee (I use 2 k-cups of dark roast coffee for 20 oz)? Is it good iced (I use 1 k-cup & 1 tea spoon instant espresso, 10 oz in a 24 oz Tervis cup filled w/ ice)? Do you filter the hops or just add the pellets to the mug? I...

I was there when they had a bunch of Cantillon available. To date Iris at REAL is the most expensive single beer I've purchased, but well worth it - luckily per diem is good in Honolulu.

WTF is a "real" beer? Is that like CAMRA? I've had it. It isn't bad, but it's very, very smoky. I've had other rauchbier I couldn't drink - this one I could.

Wow! Good answer :mug: Wish I had that sort of set up ;) How much would the yeast's heat overpower air cooling? I only used heat and a cool basement (supplemented with ice and fan) to limit the yeast on either end. I don't use evaporative / wet cooling because it's difficult to control, but I...

Dang... (w/ confirmed, local buyers)...at that price I'd sell the rest of my brick! It would be painful... but I now have 5 gal of CSI's recipe in the keezer and it's great (though still under carbonated). BTW... I found my carboy with its bung popped (the heat must have built up enough...

Any serious responses?

Are there any problems with putting in a duct from your keezer (set at ~1°F) into a fermentation and/or casked ale chamber? My thought is to set up the keezer with a duct to an insulated secondary chamber. The duct would be controlled w/ PC Fan and temp controller. The 2nd chamber would be kept...

Just like the old beer adage: it's always "up" somewhere.

I say go for it... Wheat beer would be good, or a blond, etc. Something to showcase the special addition. Things to keep in mind: 1. I don't know the ingredients of the drink - if it's all plum juice you're good to go. If there's sugar you could probably get more flavor from fruit than juice...

Scarcity definitely helps, but it's a really excellent beer. It's been a while since I had Rochefort 10, but the complex middle fruit flavors (grape, plum) in Westvleteren 12 are really amazing. Rochefort I remember as having more dark fruit (plum, cherry) though it's been too long now to be...

Usually I'm drinking coffee or water while brewing... though it's also usually in the early a.m. - really, I don't like more than a session beer while I'm brewing - the beer comes out better. It's a pretty informal, never before written down (or spoken) list in my house: A chair is often...

If it's boiled, it's clean. The lactobacillus are still in the beer, but they're dead and will drop out. I don't know about better or worse, but the sour mash/wort is pretty darned fast. 3-4 days souring, 3-4 days fermenting... and straight into the keg/bottle from there after crashing.

This came out awesome! I brewed 2 weeks ago Friday. Brought up 2 deg a day though somewhere around 72-74°F I switched to mornings, so only 12 hrs because the beer was already there. I didn't cool (other than with my 62°F basement and a fan in my ferm chamber). I held it at 82°F and cut off the...

How else are you going to get through it? ;) I gave a shot of whiskey to each of my groomsmen before my wedding. The best were my BIL (who I think was 21 and could stand about half a beer - but not BMC) and my own brother, who I think was 16-17. They almost died choking it down. It was pretty...
