Snake Pilskner - when you take a big swig, you say ... Aye!!! Patch.

Grew up in Wisconsin. Yeah, we like beer. Germans, Swiss, Polish, Austrian, Swedish, Irish, Greek, Italian, Russians etc - the reality is we need to try all the different beers from many cultures and be good to each other. Beer is our universal lubricant for squeaky wheels

When I get low on my grains before a big fat order more!!! .... I always make a "leftovers" batch. A pound of Vienna, Munich, some 2 row, a little of this and some of that ... Contemplating taste profiles and making it work. My "what I got left" lager, or IPA, pale ale, etc ... So far, so good...

Not sure but maybe you could create a automatic profile that begins with 10 hours at 70°F and then begin your traditional mash/boil profile after that.

Not long ago, beer was the beverage of choice and was safer than water due to boiling off the bugs. Kids drank beer. Beer history if fascinating - and can be very low alcohol and tasty. Guinness is about 4.3% - I make my stouts at that level or less. I also brew a bunch of tasty golden lager...

Third year for my little rose hedge

Hahaha. Amateurs always go for three but the pros are just... One, Two. Hahaha

Every beer I create has a fun name for the recipe/batch. A few favorites. St. Arnold's Schwartz-a-Negre (A strong dark Austrian lager) Czech 1, 2, 3 (Pilsner) Maradonna's Messi Brown Nuts Ale (Strong IPA w. Argentina cascade hops) What are some of your best names?

I have a fridge filled with grains, dry yeast packets, DME and LME. I brew mostly all grain - right now I have 30+ pounds of pilsner and pale ale malt. 25 lbs Marris Otter, 7-10 pounds of brown ale, caropils, 5 lbs or less of caro 20, 40 & 60, chocolate, coffee, honey Munich, and other adjuncts...

You can Google David Heath, Brewzilla PID and find several videos. I think this video is a good place to start.

Made a strongish pilsner based lager. (Calling it - IT Takes a Pillager). Ready in mid June.

Outlaw Josie Wells Brown Ale. Ahhhh Marris Otter smooth and rich. YUM

I got the Brewzilla Gen 4 in January and have made about 10 batches (20 L size, 220v). First thing I needed was an electrician to run some new outlets, which cost more than the Brewzilla itself. Haha. Just did a batch yesterday and it automatically downloaded a firmware update. Nice...

I will check them out. Just read the thread you provided - we no longer have a good local (Charlotte NC) home brew retailer... Last one closed summer 2023

I like ritebrew as well (La Chute Wi)... Nice quality grains every time.

Curious what other Brewers like. What's your go to brew store? More beer? Northern Brewer, Kegland, Howdy Brewer? Personally, I like Howdy Brewer lately and have used all of the above mail order places

Stout can sit a good while fermenting so ... I brew a double batch and have my backup ready. Can't be without stout. Nope.

My sweet spot now is a 5.7-6.2% abv . 10 lb Pilsner 1.5 lb caropils 1.25 lb Munich 4 oz honey Hopped with 2 oz Saaz (60 min / 20 min boil, 1 oz each) & Dry hop galaxy 1 oz, 10 min at 176° YUM!!!!

My own tastes have changed over the last 20 years. Early years - hi ABV IPA styles Middle years - stout, porter , brown ale Currently - rich, golden lager styles.

Not the same thing, correct. However, assume someone did the panel incorrectly... An electrician always removed that faceplate and checks. Just to be sure. And yeah, they must be out of phase. It should be wired that way at the panel. But you still check by removing the plate and also with a...
