I use a couple neoprene beer koozies taped to the side of the carboy as insulation for my temperature probe.

Awesome! Thanks for the help, guys!

I've been making EdWort's Apfelwein for some time now out of Mott's apple juice and dextrose, and I've use Montrachet and 71B yeasts. I found some Musselman's Cider at Wal-Mart tonight and thought about making a dry-hopped cider with it. Here are my questions: 1. I've got several kinds of...

The 5 gallons I posted about on this thread a couple weeks ago is still bubbling away...what better time to make 5 gallons more?! 30,202 + 5 = 30,207

I've done several Maris Otter SMaSH's and I like it.

5 gallons bubbling away! (Will add another 15 or so soon!) 30,166

New Belgium Citradelic IPA. If you like an IPA with a lot of citrus flavor and aroma (like I do) you'll probably like it.

This one is much more succinct: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo0F6mX9JIw

Bars wouldn't be able to keep my Dry Irish Stout in stock...I think and I've been told it's that good. A couple of my MO SMaSH APAs (Centennial and Mosaic) have been outstanding. The rest...probably not, but they're still typically better than a lot of the swill that's typically on tap...

Turned out to be more than I can handle. Very crude, very self absorbed. Cut her loose...

I've been listening to Prince most of the day. We lost a true musician today.

If I'm trying to impress someone with my brewing skill I usually just pour them a beer... ;) If someone is just curious about the dark art of brewing beer I put it in terms they'll be able to relate to (like "make tea..."). If someone wants to learn how to brew beer on their own I talk to...

The pretty girl probably isn't going to be going home and brewing beer based solely on the directions she got from a guy at the bar. Trying to pick up a chick by talking about brewing is bad enough...start talking about mash temperature and enzymes and you're sure to be going home alone... ;)

Pardon me, but do you have any... ;)

It depends on how cute the listener is (explanation gets shorter as she gets cuter...), but I'll usually say something like this: You make a kind of "tea" out of crushed grain (I leave the "malted" part out because it adds to confusion) and hot water to get the sugars out of the grain. Then...

Sorry for the lack of a response...date #2 went well. I got home too late to respond last night. We ended up getting pizza for lunch, then we went to a local microbrew (where she picked up the tab), then to her favorite dive bar close to her place. By then it was getting a little later so she...

We're meeting for lunch today (her idea) and she picked a pizza place that's remarkably close to her house... ;)

I tried that...got married to the female equivalent of me when I was 23. After 11 years she decided that she didn't want to be married to me anymore and wasn't able to give me a good reason why. Branching out to something fun and different now...

Eff that...my credit score is 799...I don't need no cosigner... ;)

Haha...sorry I've had a couple beers and didn't get the sarcasm. Permission denied (but I trust you already understood that) ;) But thanks for vouching for her hotness. I mean...throwing a toy poodle into the ocean while smiling like that...how can you resist that amount of crazyhot?
