I made Guiness jello shots for a party a few years ago...

The unanimous consensus was that they were horrifically awful and the stigma haunts me to this day.

Each bottle so far (3) has a dark creamy foam head and it tastes pretty good... Would you drink this batch?? Uh, dude... I think you answered your own question! "tastes good"... Drink up! If you don't see anything nasty living in the bottles or around the caps, what the hell. Go for it. W...

Awesome, Mesa!

Thanks for letting us know... now if I only remember to tune in...

If by metallic you mean an almost blood-like, irony taste, YES. Isn't it awfull?! I had a commercial porter about a year ago that still haunts me... Here is what John Palmer has to say about it: [quote]Metallic flavors are usually caused by unprotected metals dissolving into the wort but can also be...

Awesome to have you here, Eric. Seems like it has been quite a year for a lot of us! Sven (also of Lancaster) sold his house and bought another... my wife and I and the two wee bairns (they're 1 now) sold our house as well and bought a *brand new* one *without* a sink in the garage! Harrumph! Still,...

Oh my gosh, I wish I'd seen your post earlier. The AHA (beertown.org) Teach A Friend To Homebrew Day was last weekend and I'll bet somewhere near you someone was All-Grainin'! I hosted about 12 people and had 8 new brewers, lots of good food and beer and made a beautiful batch of pilsner. Check http...

Dude, come over anytime and we'll fire it up!

BTW I couldn't get the QuickTime thing to function, so I'm missing out on your violent primary :( Uh oh, really?! It's REALLY basic compression so I can't imagine you don't have the codec. Here is a direct link to the file: http://www.essersnet.com/images/2005/crazybeer.mov Let me know if that work...

Not a single reply!

So this past weekend I brewed a batch of barleywine. While it was boiling I racked a pale ale out of primary and into secondary leaving its yeast behind for the barleywine to go into... This is the result: a crazy, violent fermenting mass that looks and smells amazing: http://www.essersnet.com/php/c...

Got it!

There is no reason why you can't do that.

Additionally, ANYTHING that gets more people brewing is a good thing, so if saving some start-up cash gets more brewers into the hobby (actually, I think I would like to refer to it as a sport) the better!

Well done.

Why risk it (the oxidation)? You need two carboys anyway, right? Why is it cheaper to get two 6.5g vs. 1x6.5 and 1x5?

I am TOTALLY out of homebrew.

Disaster... send relief if you can...

WHO'S GOT THAT KIND OF PATIENCE?!

I just bottled a mead two weeks ago that I started in July 2003.

This is why I brew beer.
