I have been having problems with a taste I could not put my finger on. I am getting ready to move so I have not been brewing for a while, but I was beginning to think I was using too much water (as in volume) during my sparge. Are your volumes correct? Somewhere I had read that could cause...

I lived out there in 1988 i hung out at the Goat Hill Tavern. I had been told it was closed or very different. At the time it was great fun, long bar, tons of beer, sawdust on the floor. A little further south (again in the 80s) was a place called The Breezes. It was well stocked with...

I know you folks all know this but its all about the caloric deficit. If you want to lose weight you need to be in a deficit state at the end or the day/week/month. Also you calories you eat/drink need to be good ones. Just make sure you dont go too low (for your body) or your body goes into...

I'm in!

I vote the food posioning. I had FP once so bad I was actually laughing as I vomited and poured out the other end. It was just unreal. Never ever seen anything like it. it took about 6-8 hours to hit me. Some Drs claim they can almost tell you what time of bug it was based on how long it...

1. What do you enjoy most about brewing? Creating something my friends, wife, and I really enjoy. 2. What do you enjoy least about brewing? Cleanup during the entire process. 3. Why do you brew? I want good beer, that I make, for a reasonable cost. 4. When do you brew the most? (time of...

My memory - having lived there for only three years - was strong lagers. The only dark beer I could find was a dark lager with coloring added. Sorry to say, but living there was what made me want to brew my own. I normally drank Svyturys and Kalnapilis and just didn't think they were my...

Unless you have a very specific reason for moving it to the secondary why risk it? I use 3 to 4 weeks in the primary and then 4 weeks in the bottle. Lots of folks have different opinions, but those numbers work for me unless its something big.

Pot size. Go bigger. If there is a chance you might want to brew 10 gal brews think larger pot. Keggle or something else. As far as the garage, I think you have gotten fairly solid advice. Think risk management and dial in your venting and monitoring as you see fit.

oh..... you guys awake over there? its after 1300 here so I figured we could start with the jokes..... no insult intended, just trying to see who was awake....

Wait, he is from MI right? Don't they have a different definition of sober...;)

I had a gusher in one batch. I figured I did something wrong with priming. Suddenly multiple batches had gushers and one batch was bottle bomber. So, after much confusion I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned my brewing area, made a bleach solution and scrubbed walls and floors. This fixed the...

Not for a couple of years. One more year and a bit here and then maybe four mor years in DC. I should be there this summer for a few weeks. Not long enough. Might go tuna fishing or something.

Very nice Moose. When I retired will be in Freeport hunting, fishing, and brewing!

so... is there any of that big beer left? Moose Drool is outstanding. I have made it a few times and it is a huge hit with everyone. Good luck!

mine were a dull boom with maybe a light crack. I was a couple of floors away and could still hear them. Just make sure the flying glass can not hit anyone or get somewhere hard to clean and the spilled beer can be cleaned up. Rubbermaid containers with lids is a very good idea. You then...

Lakenheath = planes = pilots = people that like good beer = people that are willing to bring you smack packs...... Just saying.....

Sounds like a mild or some sort of brown.

I knew of at least one other DOD affiliated homebrewer in Italy using this site. Run a search and see if you can locate him. Also I think I saw a YOUTUBE video of a couple of DoD guys brewing in Italy. Names escape me.... Know any aircrews that like homebrew...... Italian wine for...
