« on: May 04, 2011, 07:46:04 PM »Gotta start some time! What a privilidge it was yours. My grandpa naever had a drop in his life. One time he did get pretty ripped on some bourbon balls, though. He had no idea what they were, just kept popping them like Tic-Tacs. When both me and my sister were young, he offered us both 1000$ if we promised not to drink till we were 18. (he still thought that was legal age) Neither of us took him up on it.now look where you're at

All Grain Brewing / Re: I'm going to do a decoction, damm!t...
« on: April 26, 2011, 09:04:51 PM »How about setting up a global "decoction day". We can all do our decoctions and then discuss how we screwed them up.sorry, i'm out. did a triple decoction this winter on a doppelbock it was my first and last . made a real good beer but was it worth it? i doubt it, as it took over 6 hours maybe closer to 8 if i remember, i try to put it out of my memory. but it did take first place in nebraskas statewide homebrewer club comp.
I'm gonna do one this weekend too but for a cream ale.

i've got a few bottles of an iipa that have been stored at room temp for over 3 years and they are still good. if you plan on storing for any length of time make sure of your sanitation practices and don't introduce oxygen at any time.
