after scrolling through this thread, why does no one fill up their pint glass? when i pull a pint, it comes right up to the lip!

That's an interesting observation. I bet most of them come out of 12 oz bottles. Mine did.

my fills are usually governed by head. sometimes it comes from a bottle, but not usually.

oh yeah.....bottles.

Bottles are good for big beers that get drank slowly. I don't want one beer tying up a tap for a year.

you need more taps

Notes
4 pounds canned corn (not included in calculations)

Cook unsalted can corn for 20 min.
then puree add to wort.
this should be lagered for 2 weeks in secondary, one of favorites. sweet tasting beer

looked great and smelled super.
OG was 1.056 just a touch high. this should help with rating and bring the alcohol up where it should be.
Its hard for the calculator do can corn. 2-2-08 am 12 hours after pitching we have great action bubbling about every second.

Move primary to colder room (84 hrs in)temp is about 53 degrees. airlock bubbling about 1 every 10 seconds or so. will transfer to secondary at approx 108 hrs. lager then at room temp of 40 degrees for 2 weeks.

taste great, fg 1.010 , color is closer to 5/6, overall can't wait. lager for 2 weeks temp 40 degrees, a most if used kolsch yeast.

I did add .5 Lb vienna on this batch, it seems to given it more body, but both are great tasting.

i can't even begin to imagine what creamed corn would taste like in the finished beer. Are there other people around here brewing with creamed corn? I've heard of using corn in the mash, and i use corn sugar all the time, but this is just wild to me.

very cool.

i've used creamed corn once. it doesn't lend any different taste than flaked corn does. the problem with it is that the cans have a large % of water. i much prefer to use corn meal with a cereal mash.

Why because the glass isn't full? You are correct. However, I now have ten kegs

This stinking beer refuses to clear, but man it tastes great! And the head...my god, the head!

Watchagot Pale Ale:

I had a beer like that, it was a jacked up pale ale, big mouthfeel despite an FG of 1.008, cloudy as all get out, and it had a meringue like head that floated like an iceberg till the beer was done, had to rinse the foam dollop out of the glass before pouring another one
