most bars over charge for their watered down drinks anyhow. I think they should consider legalizing marijuana (they could regulate it, and it is our nations #1 cash crop already) and drug testing people before they hand out welfare checks. That should pretty much take care of the monetary...

My pint glasses got ran through the dishwasher. Fingerprints show up on them really easy so I know there is a film on them. Is there a way to remove it? I read that it can kill head retention so I was curious.

How has this hobby not spread to the masses? The world may never know.

Well here it is. My Fat Tire clone is delicious, even only 4 days after bottling and warm. Thats when this pic was taken. Now it is 10 days in bottles and I am sipping on number 2. Luckily my SWMBO is pushing me to start kegging so this will be the last batch of bottles... and these wont last...

Bueller, Bueller....

I have 5 bottles of Dead Guy and I want to use the yeast from those. Can I just pour some malta goya on top of the yeast in the bottle?

I just brewed it this weekend and the krausen came and went in a little less than 4 days. The temp was at about 65 in the room. But like Revvy said, every batch is different.

Its going to be tough to keep my hands off it for a couple more weeks. I think Im going to have to sneak a few!!

AND IT WAS MINE!!! I bottled my Fat Tire clone on Saturday and I just couldnt resist giving it a try tonight, especially since my Hefe turned out..... not bueno. After 4 days in the bottle it tastes delicious, carbonation is really close to perfect, and the head even stayed with it all the way...

I just bottled the Fat Tire saturday but I tasted the sample I took for the hydro and I am ery pleased. After about a month it will be hard to keep y hands off of

I brewed up the AHS Double Chocolate Stout this weekend. Fermentation just calmed down enoughto take the blow-off tube off and pop in the airlock. The bucket that the drain end of the blow-off was in had quite a bit of sediment that tasted like cocoa powder. Have I lost the Cocoa flavor? The...

I bought some freez-pops from walmart and have used them in a sink full of water to cool my wort. I just brewed yesterday and used the same freez-pops I have had for 2 months. I throw the freez-pops in the bottom of the sink filled with water, then I drop the pot of wort in there, then put ice...

First of all I am very jealous that you're in Austin. GO HORNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Second, has this ever happened to you? Would it affect bottling?

I wouldnt worry at all. You cant smell bitter. Also you are looking more for a good rolling boil than a vigorous boil. I wouldnt worry at all. When you take your gravity samples taste each one and I guarantee you will taste a difference. If I am wrong on any of this someone will correct me but...

Is it possible to over fill your airlock (3 piece) so that your beer begins to carbonate in the fermenter? It seems that if you were fermenting in a 7 gallon bucket and had 5 gal of beer, then after initial fermentation there wouldnt be enough pressure inside the vessel to blow the top off the...

Ahh.. did not think about that. I will definitely pay attention when I am topping it up

Thanks again yall. Brew numero 3 should get going tomorrow!!

1: Before I bottle should I stir the priming sugar into the beer or is the swirl from siphoning into the bottling bucket sufficient? 2: I am brewing a Double Chocolate Stout but all I have left for primary is a 5gal carboy. Will this be ok with a blowoff tube? 3: I have some Rogue Dead...

Dont get me wrong, I wasnt expecting it to be ready. But from everything I have read I should have something. I know it wont be dissolved into the beer yet. I must admit it was a bummer to get absolutely nothing. Good thing I have another batch ready to bottle in 2 days.
