    How bad did i botch this batch?

    The airlock isn't a gauge of fermentation. Yes, sometimes, even often, it appears that way, but it isn't. If you pitched enough healthy yeast it will be fine. Check gravity a bit down the road.

    What beer did you drink with your Thanksgiving dinner?

    Homebrewed American bitter. Low alcohol hoppy beers great for eating and drinking sessions.

    "Session" IPA's - let's hear it!

    Big fan of this session IPA I brewed. Split the batch, dryhopped half with 4oz Galaxy, half with 2oz Simcoe/2oz Mosaic. Latter is much better. Next time might do 2.5 Simcoe/1.5 Mosaic and either Pearl or MO as the base, or more Munich. Recipe: Session IPA Style: Standard/Ordinary Bitter TYPE...
