I find the Oxyclean works great for removing labels. I sometimes leave the bottles in the solution for as long as a week. I was concerned about the possibility of unwanted residue inside the bottles. So what I did was filled the bottles with straight tap water and sunk them into a bucket of...

What a transformation!! Nice work!!

Nicely Done Monty!! Where did you find or how did you make the artwork for the tap labels? They are great. I do not have an artistic bone in my body but was hoping to be able to make something on the comp and print it off... Either way Nice work.

Thanks for the info. That works out well as I really like pales and IPAs so was hoping to make one of them.

I am hoping to have a good harvest of hops this year and would love to try a fresh hop recipe. I have not made one before so I thought I see who has.

I figure it is Saturday and national homebrew day... so why not enjoy a homebrew.... even if it is before noon.

Im brewing the Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale today with some friends. We are hosting a party kicking off with an all grain brew then working on emptying several homebrew kegs. Should be a good time and a great chance to expose a lot of people to some great beer. Have a great one!!

This is a great idea. I am still a noob but would love to try a competition, worst case I get some great feedback to improve my brew for next time. I am in. Any ideas as to when this comp may take place? I am almost done my all grain rig build. This would be a great test. Cheers

I am In Truro Nova Scotia, Welcome. This is an awesome forum for sharing information... enjoy :mug:

Wow, that is a good looking mess... Would it help if the level of the liquid in your blowoff jug was lower? This may give a little more head room in your blowoff?

wow 55 gal that is a big brew

Thats too bad, you may have to settle for drinking a couple of homebrews.

I am planning on having the all grain rig done before then. My brewing buddies and I are working on it now hoping to have it all up and running and tested before May 2. We plan on having lots of friends over to try some of our beer and watch as we make an all grain batch. Who knows maybe we will...

Hhmmm Now I am rethinking my plan to buy two of the BG10s one for my HLT and one for my boil keggle.

I am want to make a dunkelweizen sometime soon and looking for a good recipe. I am curious how this worked out for you?
