Re: What to pair with.......

They'll be no beer at lunch though I would like to. Gotta act semi-corporate. Our Corporate policy states that we aren’t allowed to be ‘under the influence’ of alcohol during work hours. I don’t know about you, but it normally takes about 4 to start having an effect on me. So if I do have any drink...

Re: BrewDemon Blow Out Sale!

'At this price they are either clearing out old stock, discontinuing these refills, or discontinuing that size can or offer (2 cans together).'


I received my shipment yesterday and the expirations dates were all Sept 2015. Could be one of the other reasons Rick stated though.

Re: BrewDemon Blow Out Sale!

I was waiting for an awesome sale before I tried the Brew Demon products and my waiting has paid off. :banana: I picked up two 6 gal kits at $31/per (One Evil and Wild Spirit) and one 3gal (Twisted Monk). I’m going to do a 5gal batch of the One Evil pilsner since I’ve missed that one the most. I’ll ...

Re: Unscented Dishsoap - what do you use?

I found Palmolive Oxy at the grocery store last year and gave it a try. It works well. It doesn't say 'unscented', but I can't detect any aroma.

Re: NHL Playoffs

Yeah, I was sweating it out in the last 10 minutes last night. KUDOS to the CBJ! Johnson and Dubinsky were probably the 2 best players over the series until Geno broke out last night. Fluery is always an enigma, spectacular one minute and flopping like a clubbed baby seal the next. I’m hoping for NY...

Re: s 33 dry yeast

I've stressed a few wheat yeasts (higher temps - 75ish) because I was looking for the esters produced. I really don't want to stress for a tripel so I might just pitch the extra 5gs to be safe.

Thanks PapaG.

Re: s 33 dry yeast

I picked up a 5gal Tripel kit at my LHBS and it came with s33 and just so happen to be brewing it up right now. **I just put the specialty grains in the 155 degree water. The yeast pack says ‘General purpose yeast for the production of a varied range of top fermented special beers (Belgian type whea...

Re: MrB is getting desperate, and its starting to creep me o

I met Mrs. Beer for drinks after I got my e-mail. She looked pretty hot in the red and white suit. However, she wanted to do some ‘group’ things with me and the elves so I slipped out the back door.

The real funny thing was that she was drinking a Coors Light.

Re: Opinions Needed on an Issue

While I haven’t had ‘mentos in a diet coke’ gushers, I’ve recently had 2 batches that were overly carbed. One was a Red Ale and the other a Brown. Both were 5 gal Brewers Best kits w/steeping grains and extract. Mine also tasted fine, but my lord the foam. The BB kits come with 5oz of priming sugar ...

Re: Patriot Lager Deluxe and That Voodoo You Do

I also picked up the 2-fer-1 Patriot Delux and 2 of the Voodoos. With them being on sale and MrB sending me a 20% off code, I paid $40 and change for 4 cases of homebrew. Nice score if I do say so myself. I previously did the Voodoo, but added an oz of Citra and 8oz Lt. DME so I couldn’t tell you ho...

Re: Enhancing Mr. Beer Recipes

I made the ‘Voodoo’ from the BA with a couple additions. I added 8oz Pilsen DME and also 1oz citra (1/3 for 10 minutes and 2/3 in the LBK as a dry hop). Just hit 4 weeks in the bottle and it is fantastic. I don’t think the brown sugar is a bad addition as there is a LOT of malt in it too. I don’t no...

Re: Mr Beer forum is really dead

I still check in on the MrB boards daily, but as was mentioned not much goes on in there. I answer a couple of newbie questions a week as that’s all the traffic there is. When I had a question on Tuesday for which I needed a quick answer, I came here. There will still be a new batch of newbies after...
