The Dude Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 While I set and wait for 4 gallons of water to boil, I will enjoy a beer. What are the 4 gallons for you ask, American Wheat beer. Wheat beer is one of the easiest to brew. There are really only 2 simple ingredients Wheat Malt, and Cascade Hops. Boil for about 30 mins to combine the 2 ingredients and sterilize. Then into the furminator. Any Home brewers out there? I have brewed about a half dozen times or so. I haven't done it in a couple of years as I was getting good deals on 1/6th kegs. But my uncle is coming into town this next week, and loves this wheat beer I brewed from a kit. So I might be getting back into it, I think after this time I will start to venture to all gain brewing. Maybe I will start another thread for the home brewers out there. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 we have this place in town, where you can brew your own batch--they have all the equipment and ingredients. You tell them what type of beer you would like to make and they’ll give you a recipe. You bottle it and they even make you labels. My beer sucked … very bitter -- think i bottled it too soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Bitter probably happened because the foam wasn't removed properly during fermentation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hey Chuck -- my friend is a UNC fan. He asked me, “If God isn’t a Tarheel, why did He make the sky Carolina Blue?" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Did you tell him the sky isn't blue? The blue color is just a reflection of the water on the surface of the earth. That's my response. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhetor Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Good morning all . . . on the second cup of Starbucks whole bean burr grinded this morning. A good wake up call for my 2 dogs (and Mom's 2 dogs too) . . . They hate the noise and gets them outside fast for their morning constitutional! Yesterday afternoon got the serviced the MINI Cooper for my wife . . . she starts a new job today. Also cleaned up the workshop and put new gas cylinder lifts on two office chairs yesterday . . . I was ready to throw them away because they would not stay in the up position . . . found a YouTube video on how to fix office chairs with the same problem--did not know you could do that until I found a repair video and order the parts last week. Then cleaned up the workshop in the afternoon and got parts at Lowes to hang three safety bath handrails for Mom today. Lovely wife drug out the Christmas tree and lights last night . . . for me to put up. Not sure that will get done today. This is the first time we will be home for Christmas in 7 years. I hope I remember how to put it together. Where is a 10-year-old kid you can boss around and make do it when you need one! Heading in for the third cup of Joe now . . . already tired of thinking about today's projects! Ha, ha!

minermark Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Morning Gang Got up a tad early and have the pot brewin, im sure the wife likes waking up it being done once in a wile. Monday.....Depot run. Talk about town, is a real rain storm is coming by mid week. Stocked the Cave W/Guinness/Coronas, drined 8" out of the pool, im storm ready. Rhetor just reminded me, THE TREE!, Did not really forget, i always ask the wife if i can just pick one up at the Depot, no,no, she has these Oregon trees we go for every year, i really dont mind, we have lots full of those around these parts, besides, there is no better entertainment than a Tweeker W/Chain Saw.

No matter the direction, we seem to have a Pub in the way. We are buds with too many owners, most times they will not let us pay, owners are all over us being friendly and such, we just just tip heavy.

Tarheel Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 I think I want your retirement Mark.....pub visits and buying toys Slept late 7:10.....on second cup. Jake waiting for a walk with his legs crossed. LF just emailed...on her way to Shannon, Ireland. Just got their rental car....now to practice driving on the wrong side of the road. Spent a quiet Sunday feigning interest in football games and watching guitar lessons via YouTube. I can see how that may be a good way to learn enough to take a lesson with an instructor. Finger tips are a little sore this morning. Have an appointment with a guy that plays in a local band "Steady Eddies". 43 degrees and windy here. Thinking of selling a couple of tube amps/receivers after Christmas to make some room. HK receiver and HK integrated (reworked by Craig). May also sell one of the preamps.....Quicksilver or Juicy Music. Don't need both. It's Monday retirees.....go on back to bed!

ChuckAb3 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Mornin' gang. Being sick has its advantages .... my sweetie and her daughter ganged up and got the Xmas tree up yesterday while I mostly vegged. Up early today and on my 2d cup. Think I'll hang with Baxter today and get some things done at home. Hoping this crud goes away soon... my music playing partner (guitar guy) is chomping at the bit to jam but I'm not up to it right now. Hopefully that changes very soon. Later ......... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
