    Well said Ted, I agree about the dry yeast whole heartedly. In fact, the majority of my beers are made iwth the Safale US-56 strain (now called US-05). It makes a very good pale ale, IPA, amber, etc.. I always have one or two of those types of beer on tap, then two more specialty type beers...

    Hello from California

California isn't exactly known for it's great Q, but hopefully I can at least put my own backyard on the map when...

    Who's cooking Q 9/22-9/23

    I'm giving it a go today, also a first try (although I did a tri-tip last weekend before I found this site and realized I had no idea what the heck I was doing). On the menu for today: 1 slab pork spares some chicken (ends up being about a chicken and a half I think) 2 fatties (1 hot stuffed...
