re: Home brewed beer

These couple beers both started out with a "Damn, that sounds good" and then evolved through "wonder how it would be with _____ instead?"

And I told you I really liked that pecan warmer

That's how I usually roll. I think I've followed a "recipe" exactly once, and I wasn't happy with the result. I'm more of a tinkerer by nature, thus all the beers I've made have had something "different" in them.

Thanks. I finished off the keg last night, cleaned the keg and line, then kegged my Belgian pale ale. I think I'm gonna like that one. It's really light in color, but it's kind of deceiving, because it ended up around 7.7%. The wife enjoyed the taste she had as well, so hopefully she will help me with it.

Gonna brew the peanut butter chocolate stout again to bring to Zapp's International Beer Fest in April.

That reminds me, I have a bottle of the Mint Peanut Butter Chocolate Stout blend for you.

How well does a swing top growler hold carbonation?

Great. I've bottle conditioned in them before.

Do the bottles need to be kept cold while carbonating?

---

No, typically room temp.

And, the growlers are bubbling, but the regularly seeled bottles are not, is it a cause for concern?

---

Not sure what you mean by this...

quote:

I used individual flip top growlers and regular 12 oz bottles. The 12oz bottles aren't bubbling, but all of the growlers are bubbling (and one growler had a little bit of discharge come out of the top).

As in not holding pressure??

I didn't think you were suppose to use growlers for natural carbing a beer since the glass isn't strong enough to withhold that kind of pressure.

Could be wrong though.

That is quite a little Man table you have going there buddy.
