I'll let you wreck the car first then I'll get in and drive when you've hurt yourself enough. :)
I'm going to my first local brewclub meeting week after next and plan on trying to learn a bit about it before I play with the older kids.
Knock yourself out!

Kegged a batch of Trippel Ale, while doing that I mashed a new batch of the same recipe. After the boil & chill, I pitched the new wort onto the yeast cake in the fermentor to start another brew. There is a lot of banana aromas coming from this Wyeast 1214, Chimay yeast.... Sample from the kegged batch tasted great! Finished at 8.6% ABV.

Reason one is that's a damn good beer.

Are you guys still using US04? I'm doing this next and was curious if you've tried any other yeast.

I'm still using it, yep. The only change I made to this recipe was to toss in a little Citra in the dry hop as well since I had some left over.
Otherwise this is a re-brew everytime.

To get the thread back on-topic: Last night I brewed with the Marris Otter LME and used up some left-over hops. I shall call this brew Marilyn (just because she's so dreamy) and will label it accordingly. Just the thought of coming home to Marilyn every night...... :jumpy:

Brewed up the Brew Demon Wicked American Ale recipe.

Kegged 5.5 g. Oktoberfestiv-Ale. The taste from the sample even flat and just slightly chilled seemed nicely balanced between the Munich, Vienna, 2 row and Cascade, Hallertau, and Tettnanger. Can't wait to get a taste of this carbed up and cold!

I have the Mr Beer fall seasonal from last year, Nut Brown Ale in the fermenter. I thought it was just ok, so this one will be a Bourbon Barrel Brown; soaking the wood cubes in Jim Beam now and will add to the last week of fermentation. I think this should be much better than the stock refill.

nothing. not a da/\/\ thing. got no money since moving. I got a lovely blichman burner and it sits unused. may the beer gods grant me a win in the pch prize thing so I can make beer again... going through massive brewing withdrawals. brewing is my only source of enjoyment in life.. sad aint it? think i'll toss some yeast in a bottle of soda so I can hear the cheery 'burp burp burp' of airlock activity and pretend im making beer.

I just bottled 2 LBK's and got 20 bottles of howling red and 21 bottles of uncle monkey's dunkle. Have two empty LBK's now so why not brew a Aztec Mexican cerveza and a punkin lager think i'll start that now. Won't have anything to drink (being a newbie and just starting), but can build up stock. :cheers:

Maybe you can tell me what you like to brew and I can send you some ingredients.......and who knows, maybe others will pitch some stuff in to.
I really believe when someone needs help, if I can, I try and help a bit. I know you don't need it to survive but ipf brewing helps your psyche, I'm game. While I can't send you a whole kit, I have lots of hops I can send and some 04 or 05, and some specialty grains.
Seriously, just let me know and I'll help you out.

Kealia; no both of those kits are from Mr Beer. Am planning on ordering from Beer deamon in the near future due to price of kits compared to Mr Beer.
