Been gone a long time.

Post by HazardousBrewer »

Well I haven't posted on here since just after Mr. Beer discumbobulated their forums so I figured it's time to get back in.

I haven't quit brewing, oh heaven's no, I've stepped up my game to All Grain.

I still post on the other Mr Beer forums but this place is my other home so I wanted to get back into it.

Glad to see so many familiar names are still hanging around.

My 1st all grain I did late last year was Adventures in Homebrewing Vanilla Porter. Forgot to split open the vanilla beans so it had absolutely no vanilla flavor at all lol go figure. And the mash temp was to low so it's a very thin porter but still tasty.

Back in early February I did a Fuller's London Pride clone. I have cracked open a few and they are progressing nicely. Sunday it will have been 30 days conditioning in the bottle and should be ready to stick in the fridge.

I got hold of an extra refrigerator a few weeks ago and created a temp controller with an STC-1000 and a project box. I created a heater using a paint can and light fixture from plans I found online.

The next beer I will be doing is my 1st Lager. It's a basic Pilsner with Carapils and Saaz hops. I'm really looking forward to the finished product on this bad boy.

Put a left bracket, the word "spoiler" (without quotes), an equal sign, then the name of the hidden area such as "Rickbeer's naked pictures of someone's wife" (without the quotes), and then a right bracket.

Type the section, then end with a left bracket, then "/spoiler" (without the quotes), then a right bracket.
