is it a white ale deer?

Dubbel, Dubbel, toil and trouble

this will be a great story you can tell and laugh at later though for sure.

living in virginia, im actually within a good zone for it, so this is excellent info.

WHAT!? its hard enough to find them as it is...and indeed we lose history. Leinenkugel is so good. i swear ive had everything they made when i could get my hands on it. well now im just going to be even MORE determined to make fantastic beer. *shakes fist*

id like to add a relevant question to the thread. Does it take much space to grow hops? ive seen some pictures of the vines that trail up but its not a good gauge of size.

yeah thats what i was saying, those automated processes. and i know leinenkugel is owned by them. i had a point that there are some that are large and do it and its okay, but others the process of automation affects the taste and outcome. my opinion that it takes the soul out of it is, one of...

Right. it explains a lot really, why it doesnt really make beer/etc look good, why some people get the misconception that all of it must taste like dogwater. even ive had that misconception before, because of what i was limitedly exposed to, and those? only the large commercial beers, which i...

theres that "too much of a good thing" rearing its irony. doing it as a brewer for a shortcut, isnt so bad, but to sit on an automated process. no thats not brewing. thats just minding something. at least machines cant replace the real brewer. although most are used to commercially brewed...

i actually expanded that list after that. all of my ingredients have been selected, in a way that allows me an enormous range of freedom. all the equipment im getting is the simple basics. while still letting me do any process i want. i likely have about a dozen recipes or ideas in my noodle to...

i can explain from many years of cooking that yes the two are vastly different. Like no watermelon flavor tastes like actual watermelon. So more than likely a more appropriate flavor was used in the beer, or a tincture of coconut or pressing, to separate the oils out then use the flavor...

Went out and got some of my favorite commercial stuff. (there isnt a huge great selection nearby) anyway, a nice samuel adams cold snap white ale. honestly though i had it last year and it tasted better. dont know but it was a bit off and little over lemon peeled. was crisper, and cleaner last...

kinda do things the same way in my cooking and herbal teas. a few key ingredients and you have your base, bases are good, they are simple, and you can expand the base and add flavor or keep it simple. im certainly never gonna make a pina colada beer, coconut is gross lol.

i get that entirely, i turn 40 in about a week( my brew equipment is a birthday gift to myself :D). stress is the enemy, negativity can sod off.

ive seen your posts, that schwarzbier? i forgot how to spell it! lol either way, its had such beautiful color and depth to it. its that thing that i found myself admiring about certain styles that i thought i wouldnt get anywhere near. The world of brewing is a fascinating thing.
