I been brewing since May of last year and haven't lost a batch to infection yet. My buddy has lost two batches since he started brewing and since we typically brew ten gallon batches it's a painful experience. [Reply]

You doing any all grain or just extracts? It will probably be a year or so before I'm ready to try all grain. [Reply]

Extracts with grains and I have one mini-mash under my belt. I'm putting together all of the equipment for all-grain right now and should be ready for my first batch in the Spring. [Reply]

Your buddy loses his beer? Did he look behind the couch? [Reply]

American beer sucks. This country has ruined beer. That's all the Brits really wanted - us to enjoy good beer. Why did we have to go and kill all the redcoats? [Reply]
The :blvd: smiley made me think of it, but has anyone checked the price on Boulevard lately? It's up to around $8 a six pack down here, which is just freaking ridiculous. [Reply]

Yikes! I buy beer (at least finished product) so little anymore that I had no idea. :-) My ales typically price out somewhere in the $15-20 per case and it will only get cheaper when I go all-grain. [Reply]

What did you use to clean your containers before adding the wort? [Reply]
