  Obviously I've never done this so I have no experience to say yea or nay. However, the
  entrepreneur in me says recruit someone more knowledgeable, maybe some experience in a local
  brewery looking to s...

• Posted in thread: need advice - go semi-pro? on 02-07-2012 at 05:17 PM
  Hey guys,So I think I need some fellow brewers to confirm what I'm already thinking. I was
  recently approached by a group of people who are in the process of opening a restaurant, and
  they want to inc...

  Once again, thank goodness for Homebrewtalk. I just got my turkey fryer to go all grain for
  Christmas, and I started to get a little bit worried about brewing on my deck after reading all
  of the manuf...

• Posted in thread: 5 weeks in and still bubbling? on 06-06-2011 at 03:56 PM

  pounds of DME and two pounds of candy sugar which got me to an OG just north of 1.07. So now

• Posted in thread: How harmful is it - really - if you "oxidize" the beer at bottling? on 07-02-2010 at 09:39 PM
  This was a timely post. I just bottled a batch last weekend and because of an excessive amount
  of hop gunk (due to my own carelessness) I pretty much had to run my beer through a makeshift
  filter to c...
