Three weeks? Why is everyone rushing this beer? It really hits its stride at 3 MONTHS. Seriously. Set aside a few, and try them at 3 months. You can thank me later. :)

Suuuuuper cool! Thanks for sharing!

Working. But I MAY head out to the off-road races after work to help out the brewing club with a beer tasting event. (we are the "experts" who will enlighten those doing the tasting.) And thanks for this nifty giveaway!

So you posted this at 8:18 this morning. Was the beer poured at 8:17 and consumed at 8:20 am?? If yes, why was I not invited???!!! :D

I do both mash tun and BIAB. The other day I realized the recipe I was getting together might present a problem for a stuck sparge. Then I remembered I was doing BIAB that day. HA! (blushy)

5 gm is less than 1/4 ounce. 28 gm is 1 ounce. Oh ok, I see how your hop schedule works. Not sure... hmm, that just seems like a labor intensive way to do things. Well, carry on. And good luck.

Touche! I'm slowly relaxing and am more comfortable with brewing. (Tho I still worry plenty!)

People, people, people. It doesn't need to be purified or filtered or anything like that. It's going to boil in your kettle for an hour... Using snow is not a gimmick. It's fun. Why not use it? We have a guy in our homebrew club who uses snow in the winter and Lake Superior water in the...
