Sound like an excellent motto to me!

I tend to lose count after the first 24.
I solved that problem by putting bottle caps of consumed beverages in one corner of the counter. All confusion is eliminated unless the cats play bottle-cap hockey w/them.

barley pop

I haven't heard the terms 'small beer' or 'barley pop', or 'ginger beer' used in years.

Last I heard of commercial apple beer < 3% was in the '60s.

You gotta be old.

You are added. We all need to relax with a homebrew or two.

I'm missing one set of lowers, and 3 hearing aids from midnight kitchen hockey.

NEVER TRUST THE CATZ. THEY LIE!

And eventually, you find everything under the refrigerator. They ain't too bright, either. ;)

Sweet. Never knew there was a homebrew forum here. Ironically, I just bottled a Blonde like 5 minutes ago. We just started brewing in January, but have already brewed our 100th gallon. Haven’t had a bad batch yet! We have learned an astronomical amount from reading books, and watching videos on You-Tube. We usually hide a bottle or two so when we make a new batch of that type we can compare and contrast...and it is amazing how much better we have gotten over time from a little thing learned here or there. So far the styles we have made were Amber, Steam, Belgian Wit, Milk Stout, Blonde, Porter, Pale Ale, Schwarzbier (with ale yeast). All have been a big hit, but the Steam and the Blonde seem to be the most popular...though for the darker beer lovers the Milk Stout (a stout with a pound of non-fermentable lactose sugar) was a big rage. I wish it took less time to finish a batch. I now have two primaries, and two secondaries, and 120 one liter bottles, so with an average one month brew time, I have a new 5 gallon batch ready to drink every week.

Excellent! Sounds like you are having great success with your brewing. Are you brewing Extracts?

Tastes like an IPA. Caramel overtones.

3 is my limit.

Lips are numb.

1 lb caramel 60L Grain
9.9 lb Gold LME

Hops:
1oz Chinook (Bittering)
1.5oz Cascade (Flavoring)
1oz Centennial( Aroma)
1oz Cascade (Aroma)
1oz Cascade (Dry Hop)
.5oz Centennial (Dry Hop)
Yeast 1056 American Ale

2 days later added 3 lbs Light Malt Extract
2 days later 2 lb Honey
2 days later 3 lbs corn Sugar

Went a little overboard on the sugars =)

67 bottles of wonderbrew.

That sure is a lot of fermentables, what was your OG? I have to assume you made a big yeast starter.

1.122 or thereabouts.

First thing I always do is start my yeast in warm sugar water.

Trying for Hopslam.

Bells keep things at around 62 degrees according to my supplier, but I'm not set up for that.

Hop configuration is not too far off.

Next time will add less extract and corn sugar and will add 1 more lb of honey.

Theirs is around 10%.

All in all I am pleased.

Definitely in the ballpark.

11 days total but was in a bit of a hurry. Bottled one day after it stopped bubbling.

Another week would've helped condition it.

Next time.
