Are all of these homebrew sours yours? How the hell are you pumping out sours so quickly?

I started all grain over a month ago from the beginning. Definitely not worth your time on extract IMO, its so much more expensive. Check out brew in a bag. That way you can do everything inside and I get great results every time. I spent <$100 on all of my equipment. However, you can spend...

Please don't tell me you drank it out of the can! Anywho...not a favorite style of mine, but I can't believe it's so expensive! Glad you enjoyed it, but at those kind of prices I'd be looking elsewhere. Do you get Victory out there because I just saw St. Boisterous in bottles recently...

Just figured I'd put in some updates. My SN Kellerweis hefe was infected. Apparently I wasn't completely clean on either the batch or growing the yeast and the complete underpitch were recipes for disaster! Anywho, that's bottled till who knows when. It tastes like lemons. So that became my...

Nugget Nectar just got released midyear right now :whistling: You're in luck though because I'm not a Helles lager fan.

Oh goodness. This pumpkin is so vile for me...try out Smuttynose, DFH, Weyerbacher, Southern Tier...

Wheatwine is similar to barleywine, but a little different. I like Smuttynose's wheat wine so much even though I'm not that big of a barleywine fan.

I'm going to have to disagree a bit. I believe longer fermentations allow for the byproducts of fermentation to be cleaned up. I really don't believe that will change gravity readings much, but will give you a better product. Of course none of this is based in any sort of definitive fact...

Definitely wait 2 weeks in the primary before bottling.

Well, beer is expensive to ship privately to the US.

Really the only realistic place to get Westy is ebay. Looks pretty slow right now, but they had it for $25 a bottle for a while.

Haha, can I get the next PIF with all the rare and unusual Cali stuff?!?! :p

Some new stuff, so I figured I'd update. A basic Hefe with SN Kellerweis yeast. I completely underpitched this, but 48 hours later it's going nuts. At least I learned for the La Chouffe and Houblon Chouffe clones I want to harvest yeast for. AND Blind Pig clone...mmm...hops... I'll let you...

Maybe you should just brew a sour then so you wouldn't have to worry! Just star san well and all will be alright.

Honey is too fermentable. I just don't think you're going to get honey flavor. Too delicate of a flavor that is mainly sugar, but I guess you if you can get honey for cheap it doesn't really matter.

I'm 6'6", but all legs. So it's different, but the MINI is the most comfortable car I've ever driven and I used to valet, so I've driven pretty much everything. If it weren't for it taking premium gas and the damage done in small accidents, I'd definitely get one when I replace my Celica and...

Have tasted Justin's RR Redemption clone and my peppercorn APA from the 2nd runnings and I can say they are both fantastic! Don't really taste any pepper in the APA though. Back to the drawing board on that one.

I love cherry stout. Bell's is a great treat for me as I have to go a long way to get them, but they have some pretty darn good beers. I don't like Two Hearted though. Hopslam is epic.

I pitched with T-58, which is the same as the WLP500 you said you pitched with so I'm somewhat relieved although you do love huge estery Belgians. I had read that T-58 was very estery after I had bought it, which is not what I'm going for. I want just a slight Belgian hint, so I've actually...

Thought I'd bring this back to the top. I've bottled my Gumballhead clone, Vanilla Edmund Fitz clone, and Coffee DFH Indian Brown Ale clone. I've only had the end of the bucket samples, but this is what I thought: Gumballhead clone tastes way too weird and hoppy uncarbonated, the vanilla...
