Control in what part of the brewing process? Is it the further control over the boil itself that you are referring to? I can see how that would be the case - assuming that the thermostat is on/off rather than dimming...

Probably a 20l Braumiester, an absolutely bitchin' plate chiller, and someone to clean it all for me.... I'm a simple man. As much as I enjoy tinkering with things - I find enough enjoyment with the recipe/brewing science side of things to sate that desire in this 'hobby'.

I'm new to AG, but I was faced with a similar thing not long ago. My parents house, which is where I brew has a raging wok burner on the stove. If I had anything less, I'd have gone with an urn. If you have a really powerful stove or burner available to you, do that and buy a SS pot from the...

Also +1 for the American Wheat.

God I love homebrewers...

If you want your carbonation to remain consistent, your serving pressure should be the same as your carbonation pressure. Other than that, the method looks fine. No idea what your carb level will be as you haven't told us the fridge temp, and that affects the level of carbonation that can be...

Not talking about freshness/handling problems, was just referring to the beer. If there has become such a bias to hop forward styles that a good IPA can be seen as far superior to benchmark examples of classic styles, then that's a damn shame.

Fervently disagree.

Duvel?! Chimay?! Weihenstephaner?!!?

Will be brewing this soon, once I finally get through the grain for my upcoming brews. If your landlord is anything to go by, I'm sure it's a cracker.

I get a ton of cascade in that along with the NS. Not sure it's the best 'showcase' of the hop.

...meh I can easily prevent it through clever use of the line splitter on/off switches.... Would rather than than spending nearly $120 to fix a problem I don't really have...

Knappstein Lager, Brewdog Nelson Sauvin IPA, Kooinda Full Nelson Black IPA, Red Angus Pilsener, Emersons Pils (maybe some other hops too).... Should be able to find one of those!

I swore I got some light phenolic notes in my English Pale last night - but I had JUST finished a glass of my belgian single... Probably all in my head. Or my beer has become infected <_<

When I turn my valves off for a couple of days when going out, then come home and turn them back on, I sometimes hear gas being released when switching the second valve on. That has to mean gas is going from one to another. It's probably not going to affect the beer, but was just curious...

Probably the stupidest thought ever, but something that just occurred to me. When releasing the pressure from a keg, burping co2 etc, the aroma of the beer is clearly present in there. When using line splitters, that co2, and thus that aroma, can travel freely from one keg to another (unless...

A quiet afternoon ahead of you... The kolsch and angry man are both good. You'll probably like them.

Yeah, I did. Sorry. I think it's a really quality hefeweizen, and I suppose I was just reacting to the way you dismissed it without offering any justification or reasoning behind your opinion. Enough off topic. Sierra Nevada rule, get some. The torpedo is really good. I think all their beers...

Phwoar... I was merely trying to show this poster that your assertion was contrary to the views held by the majority of beer enthusiasts.

I would like to think no chilling does add some bitterness. I have an entirely cube hopped IPA that is, whilst a little less bitter than anticipated, certainly not sweet.
