Is there any way to access the recipe of last week? I thought I saved it but didn't. It was an altbier.

I just got a good deal on an hellaciously well taken care of old Buick. Biggest downside to it is it has a cassette deck. I could almost live with that but the cassette player doesn't work. So I am looking at aftermarket systems. I want just a nice radio with a CD player and a USB port to play MP3s off of thumb drives.
The local auto audio dealer showed me this one

Back in my day JVC was an excellent name in stereo systems, right up there with Bose, but I have been out of the loop on stereo systems since the late 70s.
For what I want a 50 watt system would be fine. Does it even make a difference what I get for an entry level system like this?

General Homebrew Discussion / cleaning question
« on: May 31, 2012, 02:16:14 pm »
I just got a really nice stainless steel strained. Would it hurt to throw it in the dishwasher after use? Or would that put too much chlorine on it and affect my next beer.

General Homebrew Discussion / posters

I have been looking at my brewery and decided I know what it is missing. Beer maiden posters. Anybody know where I can find some of those.

General Homebrew Discussion / Another question
« on: May 27, 2012, 03:23:48 pm »
I have been using my non FDA approved garden hose to clean my equipment after brewing? Is this a big mistake?

General Homebrew Discussion / May seem like a dumb question
« on: May 22, 2012, 07:26:05 am »
But I just gotta ask. Is there any reason I shouldn't use water from my garden hose for brewing? It sure would make life easier. I have thought about the food grade thing, but as a kid I used to drink out of the garden hose all the time. I suppose we are using different materials for garden hoses these days though.

« on: May 18, 2012, 01:57:32 pm »
But I like them even better now. They obviously support home brewers.

General Homebrew Discussion / Small Batch Question
« on: May 17, 2012, 09:41:13 am »
Would a food grade 5 gallon bucket be too big to use for a 2 gallon batch? Or would the CO2 just take longer to fill the head space?

Beer Recipes / Aroma hop question
« on: May 13, 2012, 08:14:01 am »
I have a Citra hopped IPA one week into fermentation. I am planning on dry hopping it. I was going to use Cascades for the dry hop but noticed I have 2 oz of Kent Goldings on hand. Any opinions on which of these would be better?

Blind Tiger Happenings!
Collaboration Ale On Tap Now!
Full Kimono Imperial Red Ale
American Craft Beer Week celebrates the independent spirit, craftsmanship, and community fostered by the American craft brewer. In that spirit the brewers of Free State beer, Blind Tiger, and 23rd street offer up the Full Kimono, an Imperial Red Ale. Brewers Geoff Deman (Free State), John Dean (Blind Tiger), and Bryan "Bucky" Buckingham (23rd Street), designed the recipe together and collaboratively brewed the three batches of Full Kimono at each other's breweries on three successive days. At over 10% ABV and hopped to the hilt with more hops than any of the three breweries have previously employed in a single batch, the Full Kimono is something special indeed. Full of hop flavor but balanced by a full malt backbone, the Full Kimono lays bare the "magic" of the brewer's art for all to enjoy. Be sure to travel to each brewery and enjoy the subtle differences between each stellar brew.

General Homebrew Discussion / Question about styles
« on: April 26, 2012, 11:01:26 pm »
I was just looking at the recipe of the week. 12 dollar cream ale. It is a SMaSH made with Briess 2 row and Willamette hops. Isn't a kolsh basically just 2 row? I thought a cream ale had flaked corn or something in it to make it creamy. My question is what is the difference between a kolsh and a cream ale?

General Homebrew Discussion / Mr Beer has really been good for home brewing

They have sold 200,000 kits. That is 200,000 people introduced to home brewing. I had no idea they moved that kind of volume.
I do nothing but all grain 5 gallon batches now. And am trying to learn how to formulate my own recipes. But if it hadn't been for Mr Beer I never would have attempted home brewing. It gave me a very simple inexpensive way to start out. Then I built on that step by step.
Criticize them all you want but here is proof they have been undeniably good for home brewing.
