But no joke, I was in an engineering/chemistry class in college and for 8 weeks we made a couple different types of beer. I dont know how much research you have done or whatever but I do know some things i might be able to help. I know some of the flavor depends on what type/color container you brew it in because it reflects light and alters the taste. Also the longer you ferment it the stronger the beer will be. It looks tasty tho

Beer brewing is a good industrial microbiology / environmental engineering / ecology topic. I would have used it for a microbiology project if we were allowed to choose a topic in lab.

Strength also depends on initial and final specific gravity (solute content, basically fermentable sugar). I keep my fermenting beer in a PET container covered by a hooded sweatshirt to keep light out. I did 3 weeks worth of research every day before even starting. Homebrewtalk.com is a great resource. My course work in school also helps since I'm a biology major. I already have a basis for understanding of what's going on inside that fermenter on a molecular level.

Ok you clearly know more about brewing than me. I didnt know if you were an alcoholic just trying to save some money or a serious brewer, so I thougth i would chime in. Sam Adams commericals are stupid. They try to make it all sophisticated, the Coors light and Bud Light commercials crack me up.

Fancy beer is fine and good, but a REAL American drinks Bud.
It's my go to beer, I actually enjoy the taste and the clean finish.

For once I'm afraid I can't tell if you're being facetious or not.

Anyway... fwiw, I think Bud is disgusting on taste alone, but I guess maybe it's an acquired taste. Beer isn't supposed to be filtered (let alone filtered several times). So, while I can appreciate that you like Bud, don't make pretend that it's actually beer.

Besides, I wouldn't consider non-bud "fancy". Other beers are just that: beers.

Just my two cents...

IT GETS YA DRUNK! (if you drink a case of it)

I actually agree (with the "go to" beer perspective). Not much flavor for when I'd prefer not to be overwhelmed by hoppy bitterness or a complex mesh of interwoven flavors. Can't beat the price of mass production and distribution either.

99% of the time I'm alright with being beaten over the head with a bucket of hops.

Mark, check this out:

Also, I had the best beer I've had in a long time the other night. It's called Supper Club by Capital Brewery. http://www.capital-brewery.com/ourbeers/index.html
The malt was so good.
Only problem is that you can only get it in a select group of restaurants or their brewery. No bottles D:

Make me some of that!

* Edit: I emailed them and it turns out they are going to bottle in April. I'll have to mail you some Mark.

I'll be brewing a specialty Chai spiced ale this weekend. The following weekend I'm going to be brewing an Irish Car Bomb Stout, recipe of my own design.
