Any time beer is lost, it calls for a moment of silence (and a cold one out of respect). My left hand holds my left hand holds my hat over my heart while my right hand raises a bottle to your lost 6 pack. At least my wort (no matter how dramatic... and sticky) was not fermented. On another note... m...

Gas Burner
I do use a gas burner to boil in my backyard (good for boil overs); however, I live in Fort Worth, Texas. It was 98brewer13210 wrote:I'd STRONGLY suggest picking up a good gas burner and move the brewing in to the garage...that way you can clean up with a hose.

Catastrophie!
For those of you who posted or were reading this topic, the orange peel wort smelled great after the boil and I was able to sneak a quick taste of the semi-cool wort; however, we will never know if it would have made a good beer... see link:

The wife was in the living room watching TV and saw the mess after I kicked my primary bucket into the cabinets. She stood there, tapping her foot, while I cleaned... so much salt... so many wounds. She even made me pull our BEAST of a refrigerator out because the wort had ran underneath. The rest i...

I did put the yeast back in the fridge in hopes of using it. A few ounces of water would have been fine, but when I took a gravity reading (and I was shaking a bit from my ordeal) it was hovering between 0.999 and 1.000.

Orange Peel
I want to add orange peel to an amber ale (My wife is a University of Texas grad and I am brewing a "Hook-em Ale" for this years UT football games... they are burnt orange... the beer is a light amber), but I have never used this ingredient before. There are two types from what I have seen...
