H Looks like your doin a great job.
I brewed some beer last summer , a kit. It came out pretty good the first time but the second batch went down the drain, it was horrible.
I may try again. You should do so more its a great hobby I had the dump 4 batches (20 gallons) down the drain this fall definitely bummer. Where did you get your kits? Mr. Beer. The brown barrel and 8 brown quart bottles after fermentation. I followed instructions to the T. If you remember what was wrong with the flavors check this out. One of my problems was adding the yeast when the wort was too warm. Very cool, I went thRough the info. My issue was the Cidery. If I brew again ,maybe I will use honey or brown sugar rather then white.

Had a few Laganitas IPA on tap at a resturant this past weekend.
Those suckers are very tasty. Lagunitas makes one of the best IPAs, you a hophead? Some of my favorite IPAs: Stone Brewery Ruination IPA Dogfish Head 90 Minute Alchemist Heady Topper- only had once at a Phish show Uinta Hop Nosh One I want to try is Pliny the Younger by Russian River Brewery, but I think they only sell them from the brewery in California

I really like Duvel, its a Belgian pale ale.
I also love Lindemann's lambic ale, which is like a dessert beer.

I never met anyone who didn't have a very smart child. What happens to these children, you wonder, when they reach adulthood?

Yes, the regular lambic is sour. But the ones that have the fruit flavors are tart and sour at the same time. Its not something you'd want to drink all night, but its nice to have one after dinner or just on its own. Definitely not with food.
What did you think of the Pliny? Ive heard a lot about it, but haven't been able to try it yet. Its not available here.

I will have to pick on up I've seen them at the beer store by my house I have to be honest with all the hype it wasn't exactly what I expected. It was good not as bitter as I thought it would be, it kind of had a fruity after taste which made it smoother finish than I thought. That being said I am not sure how old the bottle was so the flavor could have changed with age and I would love to try it from draught. I think I liked Heady Topper better, just because I enjoy the bitterness in my IPAs. Hop Nosh by Uinta Brewing is what I have in my fridge for the weekend, it is one of my favorites

Come on Nicky you gotta have better taste than that. So many good brews out there that are way better Have never really tried any of the "craft" beers. Maybe I'll give them a try sometime. What, Nicky... no Goose Island's for you?  Occasionally I do! Mostly Miller (like many Chicagoans). I can only drink a few beers before getting tired of it. I'm more of a hard liquor guy. Which isn't a good thing

@Mark, Duff beer is going to be sold in (real life) stores.(Ha,Ha) http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/the-...f-beer-20150712Duff Beer, Homer Simpson's beverage of choice on The Simpsons, might soon be heading to real life coolers. The long-running show's media company, 21st Century Fox, has given the yellow thumbs up to brew an actual, officially licensed Duff Beer. However, as of now, the drink will only be available in Chile, the Wall Street Journal reports, though a worldwide release is being considered. Sidebar The Simpsons in celebration-mode. 150 Best 'Simpsons' Episodes of All Time » Although Homer has been sipping on Duff for over a quarter-century, 21st Century Fox only decided to go into the beer business after countless Duff counterfeits popped up throughout Europe, South America and Mexico. While the company's lawyers have been successful in swatting down brewers hoping to capitalize on The Simpsons' worldwide recognition, because Duff doesn't actually exist in real life, 21st Century Fox have had trouble protecting the fictional beer's copyright in some countries, like Chile. In that South American country, plenty of bootlegged Duff crept into the marketplace, and although 21st Century Fox filed an intellectual property complaint against those brewers, resulting in thousands of seized bottles, the demand for more Duff resulted in other bootleggers popping up in Colombia and Mexico. Rather than continue battling the copycats, 21st Century Fox instead decided to brew their own officially licensed product. In 1996, an Australian company attempted to legally license the Duff brand but was rebuffed because a Simpsons-branded beer was viewed as "detrimental to children." The outbreak of bootlegged Duff, however, has changed the company's opinion on the matter. "Once you see enough piracy, you are faced with two choices," Jeffrey Godsick, president of 21st Century Fox's consumer products division, told the Wall Street Journal. "One is deciding to fight it, and the other is deciding to go out [into the market] with it." Unfortunately for American Simpsons fans, the only place to drink a Duff currently is at the show's themed areas at Universal Studios parks in Orlando and Los Angeles. However, given The Simpsons' success, "I think there's potential to have Duff everywhere in the world," Godsick said, adding that the beer would be packaged without any mention of The Simpsons or a Homer Simpson endorsement. Sadly, that likely means Duff Man won't accompany the product into the real world. On numerous occasions on The Simpsons, the series has joked about the questionable quality of the fictional Duff. In reality, however, British brewmaster Paul Farnsworth created a recipe for Duff that will make the beverage a "premium lager" with a "caramel aromatic." In 2012, Guns N' Roses' Duff McKagan revealed that his name was the inspiration behind The Simpsons' beer. Producers even sought McKagan's permission before using the name, and the bassist allowed it without asking for anything in return. "I knew nothing about branding yourself then or the royalties off it," McKagan told The Independent. "I just thought cool, they wanna use my name and boom, The Simpsons was born. Yeah, if I had a nickel for every time… but it's fine.”
