Put off your going home trip for a few weeks. I would love to pour you a glass (red solo cup) of beer. April 23rd.

Thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU. I am brewing this for my daughters wedding at the end of April. I brewed it last year and she liked it. I really didn't care too much for it but, it's not for me.:mug:

Hey all, I brewed a recipe last year from the Jan/Feb. BYO mag and it was good. I have a request to brew it again but I do not have the magazine anymore. It was one of the Quebec clones with Hibiscus flowers. Does anyone have this back issue? Sure would appreciate it if you could post the...

My chest freezer went out (holds four kegs) and I found one on Craigslist. I showed it to her and she said "I'll call my dad and see if we can use his truck".

Ha ha...me too. In fact reading this thread I am thinking about cleaning my mask and hose but...nahhhhh

Take a car battery and power converter. The battery will last a LONG time with just a C-PAP on it.

I had my first one at 50 like many of you. No medical history of cancer but just to get a base line. THe prep was hard and the procedure is nothing. My hardest part was having to get up at 3:30am to take my list big gulp of the poop med. I am one that has spent most of my life working...

I am transferring two lagers tomorrow. My reason? I have a fridge for kegs (and it's empty right now) and a chest freezer that will hold two buckets. I want the space to ferment two more beers while I let my lagers sit for about six weeks. By then I can keg four batches and drink while I...

I love making SMaSH beers and always use the same ingredients yet always have different beers. I buy 2 row Briess malt in the 55# sack and use about 10-11 pounds per batch. For hops, I add one ounce each at 60,15, and 5 minutes. For hops, I use "Magic Dust" from Austin Home Brew. It's a...

I have been brewing for 6 years and AG brewing for 5 1/2 and I still do "mostly" kits. Austin Home Brew is my LHBS (OK, it's 120 miles away but my son lives in Austin) and I usually buy their kits along with a 50# bag of base malt for SMaSH brews. I have copied some recipes from BYO mag and...

Brewing an Irish Red Ale tomorrow for St. Paddies day. It's also my birthday.:ban:

Ha ha, I am South Texas and I brewed today and gonna get one in tomorrow because it's gonna be cold Sunday. Low 60's!:confused:

I have Hobbs tattooed on my are. Never will there be a better comic strip. But "Zits" is pretty funny. And I like "For Better Or Worse".

Q.." What must I do to prove to you I am mortal?" Worf.. "Die!"

I made a yeast starter yesterday and today I poured a vile's worth and then added about a teaspoon of DME back into the flask. No adding water or boiling, just straight into the flask. Brewing tomorrow and hope this adds a bit more sugars to the yeast.:o
