  I almost always design my own. Recent exception, I needed a 2nd beer (jockey box has two
  faucets) for my 1st child's 1st birthday party (also made 20 lbs pulled pork and about 40
  burgers :rockin:) to ...

  the sheet (d...

  A note on this recipe builder: As it is not a program, but rather a file, it must be manually
  updated for things like changes in the alpha acid content of the hops you purchase, adding new
  grains or h...

  I decided that rather than spend money on canned brewing software (not that there’s

• Posted in thread: Rehydrating Dry Yeast on 06-29-2012 at 02:10 AM
  I've tried the rehydrating thing a couple times on the recommendation of Jamil and others, but

  StL Wine & Beer is the place really. They specialize in homebrewing supplies and equipment,
  rather than Worm's Way, whose specialty is gardening supplies and equipment and trying to
  figure out if ever...

  A little off topic and not trying to high jack but I agree! Everyone talks about going to keg

• Posted in thread: What's your favorite BMC beer? on 05-30-2012 at 01:46 AM
  Being a StL boy, I really like Michelob (like a poster commented above, Michelob regular, not
  Light, Ultra, 64 or whatever). While Budweiser is just ok, it is rice beer afterall. Michelob
  is AB's all ...

• Posted in thread: Best practices for washing bottles... how do you do it? on 11-19-2011 at 01:59 PM
  Rinse bottle right after pouring the beer in a glass. If the bottle has a label then I soak it
  in Oxyclean.Before bottling, I put each bottle in a bucket with Starsan in it. I spray Starsan
  on my dish...

• Posted in thread: Orval Only Ages for 2 Months... how? on 10-31-2011 at 12:19 AM
  I'm going to use some Orval dregs for a beer soon, so I've been going around NYC trying to find
