When do you become an advanced homebrewer? – National beer | Examiner.com
You find yourself talking to just about anyone that will listen about your beer, about the beer you buy, about the beer on television, about the beer in your neighbor’s refrigerator. People tell you that when you are having a beer, you look at with a long loving gaze. You find yourself smelling the beer before you drink it. You’re looking in the classified advertising section for used refrigerators. You daydream at work that your next beer will even be more perfect. You wake up refreshed in the morning after having a series of beer dreams. You are indeed in an advanced state of beermaking.
Made by Hand / No 3 The Beekeeper by Made by Hand:
Local farmer Megan Paska has witnessed beekeeping as it morphed from an illegal (and possibly crazy) habit to a sustainable, community-supported skill. Mirroring beekeeping’s own ascendance, she found more than just a living: “This is the first time in my life when I’ve just felt absolutely on the right path.”

First Time Kegging – Metallic Off-Flavor
It could well be slight over carbonation. The carbonic bite can taste kind of metallic or minerally. Try dumping presure from the kegs then shake the kegs and dump again repeat a few times and check your carb level then once it’s down taste the beer.
The other option is to take a sample and decarbonate the beer by stirring until all of the carbonation has evolved. Taste the beer and note any off flavors.
Today is the first brew of my new recipe for Anonymous American Ale.

lyrics
OOOH INTERNET
OOOH INTERNET
this constant refresh well they say it’s the death of us, baby
but I like what you do and the way that you change on the daily
when I walk down the street only strangers I meet
but I can shake loneliness in just a tweet
internet
i don’t want to lose you
oh internet
if you were a pokemon I’d choose you
oh internet
keep me on your feed
I synch to you pretty much constantly
OOOH INTERNET
OOOH INTERNET
every now and then I go and check on the mail
cause when there are physical letters consistency fails
oh these bills everyday,
lest they be autopay
are easy to ignore
….anyway
internet
i don’t want to lose you
OOO INTERNET
oh internet
you’re the only love that’s true
oh internet
i’d make out with your face
later tonight let’s meet in cyberspace
oh but I can’t get by unless there’s wifi
is this a drug that I need
there is no other way
I am at home all day
so that my torrents can seed
you just don’t get it
cause you’re not on reddit
and if you want me to go out
just make sure that there’s
internet
i don’t want to lose you
OOH INTERNET
oh internet
boo boo be boo boo-boop
OOH INTERNET
oh internet
I wrote you this song
and if you like it then you all can sing along

I am designing a new recipe for my next brew. I had designed the house ale around my wife’s likes and dislikes. It is a tasty beer and I like it, but it is very “in your face.” It is full bodied, which was a goal, but it does so by being sweet and heavy. Two is my limit.
Over the holidays, I made “Hey, Zeus!” I used medium English crystal, rather than light and added some pale chocolate, as well. I was thinking of something like Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale, but ended up with something much more like an American Brown Ale. I was concerned she would not like it, since she hates English Brown Ale, but by the time we kicked the second keg, she preferred it to the house ale.
Now I have a brew day coming up and I am trying to come up with a new recipe that incorporates these new taste preferences, as well as my own desire for a drier, more subdued beer.
