thanks fellas! 10 gal of cream ale and then i'm going to blueberry 5 of that. The orange blossom honey wheat looks good. I've made JZ's blonde before, good idea with the german hops.
It's not my graduation, my girl is graduating from high school and there will be about 120 people there that are of age. Proud papa! She got accepted into the Swanson School of Engineering at Pitt + some $$$$. If anyone has about $17,000 laying around you don't know what to do with, let me know Drew

Ive been brewing since 93 and today, 30 minutes into my brew day and it is officially the worst fucking brewing day ever. Got a call from work because heaven forbid i get a complete day off so i step out of the shed. Low and behold, the mutt goes in and manages to pull the pot that i'm crushing my grain into along with my mill onto the floor spilling 10 lbs of pilsner and 2 lbs of flaked rice onto the floor. Must of got caught on the cord. Not horrible just a pain and i have more grain. The pot i was crushing into is my 8 gallon pot which happened to land kinda sideways on the ball valve and half pulled it out and completely fucked my kettle. I'm making 10 gallons, i'll deal with this later...SO i notice my grain isn't crushed all that great so i go to tighten my mill and the head of the set screw snaps off. FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ugh... hope it improves from here... or that you have enough beer to get drunk and forget.

Thumbs down. I mourn for your loss, pain, and anguish.

shot the dog and buried her, hopefully the kids don't notice. ok, just thought of doing that. switching plan, make 10 gallons of numsquats hard lemonade since i'm running out of time today, baseball practice. I made his recipe about 2 yrs ago and grabbed 2 dry yeast packs to through in, cut em both, dumped them in and one of the was the correct 05 dry yeast and the other was a wine yeast. Well, it turned out friggin great. I passed it off as a nice dry white and no one was the wiser. so i'm gonna split the batch with wine and regular yeast. we shall see....id say the day cant be any worse but i'm old enough to know better, it can always be worse...

Sorry to hear about the troubles.

FWIW, that honey wheat recipe works GREAT as an extract batch. Matter of fact, the first rendition was
an extract version because I didn't have time for an AG session that day.

Just replace the pils and wheat malts with about 6 lbs of standard wheat dme. Either a 50/50 or 60/40 version of dme works, it doesn't matter. I think Briess is what I used and it's 60/40. Steep the C10, bring it up to a boil, you are done in an hour and a half tops.

HTH-

One of my summer go to beers now is a Gose.....recipe was in the May/June 2011 BYO, light and refreshing, with a hint of coriander, and salt. Mine scored a 36.5 in the first round in Specialty/23.
