If possible, I'd suggest waiting until Wednesday. It may not make much of a difference, but with the foaming over you had as well as the late start your yeast got, you might want to give it a full two weeks.

Colin dry hopped my Pete's last night. I little bit later than the recipe recommended, but I was too lazy to get over there and do it myself. My Newcastle clone keeps getting better and better as it ages. I only have a few bottles left though, which is sad. A+++ recipe would brew again!

i'm planning on bringing 12 out with me, so you guys better grab one before they're all gone.

actually, i was talking to lkelly last night and we decicded that we should all drink my homebrews on labor day. they're supposed to age for 2 weeks, but by labor day they should have some carbonation so f it, it'll be drinkytime.

meh, carbonation's overrated, but drinking isn't. i think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Nick, Sherv, and I bottled last night. Appart from messing up my kitchen and drinking too much on a school night, I'd say it was a trifecta of sucess. My brew tasted very thin on my first taste, but later on I drank a little out of the last half empty bottle and it was pretty good and pretty similar to Sam Adam's Summer (which is the recipe I brewed).

In other news, we drank a few of my last batch, which I though was a bust after the first 3 bottles or so. Turns out it's a bit hit or miss, but some of the bottles are quite tasty. The rest of the batch will be a nice guessing game. I'll take the red snapper.

Sooooooooo stupid!

Your housewarming is going to be awesome now that you're getting a keg of PBR.

my beer is now carbonated and DELICIOUS

[DoctorShumway]

A bunch of dudes brewed today. I got drunk. It was awesome.

The 15th my current fridge goes into the basement. So yeah, this weekend I'm brewing a lager. Going to be nuuuuts.

Matsu just left and his wort is cooling off before I pitch the yeast.


Wow, I am pooped, this weekend was bloody fun and tiring....


so we have a cherry stout (colin's), a coffee stout (Matsu's), and a blueberry hefe (mine) going....hopefully they'll be nice and tasty!

I'm a bit miffed with the one-week-aged result of my smoked porter...it's ludicrously light and lacking in body, but has a hint of smokiness or so. I don't know what happened, except that I DID add in a quarter pound more wheat than what the recipe called for. I wonder how that would affect the overall flavor. Nonetheless, it'll be an easy drink to down since it's so light

[DoctorShumway]

Yeah alcoholic seltzer water. How it happens that all of our beers are way too light, I have no idea.

My Pete's tastes exactly like all other beers I've ever made. Awesome.

Again, good thing there's a keg of PBR.
