No need to make excuses.. you can enjoy a nice cold water... err uhm.. Bud Light if you want to :)

Went to the store and picked up a Stone Levitation Ale. Unfortunately it wasn't pre-chilled so I didn't get a chance to drink it last night. I figure I will enjoy it after some volleyball tonight. 2 Man will wear you out and nothing tastes better when you are dehydrated than a nice cold brew :)

Bubbling stopped last night, so had about 24 hours of active primary fermentation. Since it took so long to start, how long should I wait to bottle it. Normally I follow the directions and bottle at about a week, but I have also had my active primary a lot sooner. Maybe I should hold off...

Outta HB for the moment, that's why I had to brew! So I cracked open a Sierra Nevada Extra Pale... relax a bit and if it wasn't raining I woulda had a cigar too, but the rain keeps coming! :)

I did aerate the yeast before I closed it up. And I do have a tight seal. The container I was using was not see through so I couldn't see if it had krausen or not, but good news, we got some bubblin action! So, the good news is that we got some bubblin goin on, I think it helped moving it...

I had a friend that did something similar when I was helping him with a batch. If you sanitized your airlock before installing and your hands or spoon were clean (sanitized) when you fished it out then you should be good. If either of those is a no you still might be ok. My friend didn't...

Thanks for the help.. I will check it tonight and give it a peak to see what is going on if I don't see anything happening on the air lock. I really need to brew a few more batches myself, it had been since winter since I had done anything, with the nicer weather it would be easy to do a few...

I brewed a Brewers Best kit (California Imperial Ale) on Friday night and got it into the fermenter. It had a dry yeast packet which I added and stirred in, but I did not pre-pitch the yeast. The airlock has not been popping yet. I have done 5 or 6 batches up to this point and it seemed like...

Oh man.. it's only 10 and reading that recipe made me starving for a big juicy burger. My leftovers from last night for lunch just don't sound quite as appealing now! :)

Man, I missed giving my predictions. I really like Forrest, but Silva is just a machine. And Penn is friggin stout too, I missed the fights, but the outcomes really didn't surprise me too much. Hey B.Dawson, did you give away a free fiver to someone on that fight too :)

Are your beads totally saturated with moisture or are they pretty dry. If they are somewhat dry I would recommend tossing those back in and they should soak up the extra moisture and stabilize your humidity. Using the damp cloth you probably would raise the humidity, but that should be fairly...

I think I just got my in today?!?!?!! I got in a package from Dream Castle located in Richmond VA but it is Shisha for a Hookah pipe. I have some friends who have hookah's but I do not own one. It smells like a decent blend and I do not ever remember ordering a freebie of Shisha, but perhaps...

I had a Sierra Nevada Torpedo today. Just picked up a six pack and hadn't had it before. Very good beer, nice strong hop flavor with a nice smooth mouthfeel. I was eating it with burgers and brats. Not a good pairing, but I will make sure that I have the rest of the six pack with more...

Very nice score! My sister in law was at our house this past weekend and saw the humidor I built into the wall. She asked me if her husband had given me any of those Cubans that they got while they were in Florida a couple of weeks ago. I told her he hadn't to which she told me she would be...

Congrats man.... Glad to hear that (almost) everything went well and that she said yes!

I picked up a Boswell pipe in 03, I don't smoke it that often but it has been a very good pipe. It's nice to have to grab when I am in the pipe mood.

It's looking good, I like the doors a lot. It will be awesome to see the completed project.

Very nice setup. The graphics on it are a sweet touch and it is definitely a good addition to any man cave. I looked into getting one before and finally decided that for how much it would be used I couldn't justify the price, but the price you got it for is just right! :)

I like Forrest quite a bit. He seems like a stand up guy, but he is going to get destroyed by Silva. The next fight card does look like a good one though, I will probably catch the next one with a buddy of mine who is a big UFC guy.

Bell's is definitely a very solid brewery. I can't say that I love all of their stuff, but they do their styles very well. I haven't tried the Cherry Stout, but the Two-Hearted, Hopslam, and their Amber Ale is all very good stuff. Try a sixer in a style that you prefer and I don't think you...
