New Guy From Denver

[one_eye]

Hey,

I've been listening for a couple of months now on the archives. I listened to my first live show last week. I fucking love this place. I've been brewing since august, I've made 3 batches: an Amber, a Brown, and a Pale Ale. They all pretty much suck. I have not brewed sice I started listening to the show, so I hope to put what I have learned to good use.

Welcome to the forum and thanks(you know what for ).

What sucks about them? One of the best things about the forum is you can get help with that kind of stuff.

So this pirate has a parrot that can talk. The parrot looks at the pirate, and his eye patch and says "Fuck you one-eye!"
The pirate reply "Say it again and I'll cut your beak off!"
The parrot replies "Fuck you one-eye!"
The pirate says again "Say it again and I'll cut your beak off!"
To which the parrot replies Fuck you one-eye!"
So the pirate pull out his sword (no Justin not that sword) and cuts the parrots beak off. He asks the parrot "What have you got to say now?"
The parrot then puts a wing over one eye and filps the pirate of with the other wing.

One of my favorite jokes as a kid. It works much better visually.

Welcome one_eye!

Welcome!

That's awesome that you know the first batches suck, BUT you're still into the hobby.

Remember the first cardinal rule, "SANITATION" and you'll see vast improvement on the next batch!

Thanks Lufah and Dr. Scott,

I think that I might have had some sanitation problems, I was using One Step thinking that I was sanitizing, turns out that I wasn't. So I'm going to switch to Star San. I'm also going to try doing a yeast starter, airating my wort, and adding my extract late in my boil.

P.S. F-U too wezil,
No just fucking with you, the way I head the joke the pirate put the parot in the frezzer, and found him in the same position (no Justin not that position) the next day.

Hey one-eye,
You should look into using Iodophore, a onestep sanitizer and use the powder soap for cleaning! I have been doing OK with that combination, the powder soap kicks ass when it comes to clean labels too!

Cheers,
