That's right....it says hump..... Now that I have your attention, Registration for the second annual Humpback Homebrew Competition is open. This year we have opened registration to the entire country, as opposed to last year where it was only open to Ms. Brewers. Judging will take place on...

Going from my own experience judging... I judged a Herb,Spice, Vegetable comp a few weekends ago and our first round top beer was a Belgian Sour and I can't remember all that was in it, but it was really good. In retrospect I remember another judge mentioning a slight lemon but it was...

http://competitions.gulfcoastbrewersleague.com/ This is our clubs 2nd annual homebrew competition. Last year in celebration of Mississippi passing it's homebrew bill we only opened the competition to Mississippi AHA members. This allowed us to celebrate Mississippi as well as get our feet wet...

VJ's Autoparts in Biloxi has been selling homebrew stuff for years. Good prices on the little stuff they have, but really nothing for all-grain. If you need carboys are extract stuff it's not a bad place to go. Besides, were else can you get everything to change your oil and some homebrew...

For now, with only 2 kegs, just leave the CO2 tank in the fridge and no holes in the fridge. The only thing for the Noob to remember is when the tank is in the fridge the high pressure reading on the regulator is incorrect because the tank is cold.

Given the space and cost associated with coils of tubing why not get a cold plate and serve more beers? For instance if you wanted to serve 6 beers you are looking a anywhere from 300 to 750 feet of tubing (going off stated lengths above) I'm just guessing at the pricing, but I'd think the...

I'd also like to add an O-Ring to the list. Many of us use the Polysulfone Disconnects by CPC. The O-rings are thin and don't generally hold up well, so for those of you who need to replace them here is that O-Ring from McMaster-Carr. Dash - 016 ID: 5/8" OD: 3/4"...

Thanks for the info... just for safe measure, these are the ones you used? http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/119/3478/=m6ci0r It's nice to have a definitive answer on Pin-Lock O-Rings... I have not used my pin lock kegs in 2 years since I dumped 1/2 a keg into the bottom of my fridge!

It's been a long time coming... and we have just a few short months before the final step is made... JULY 1st will be the 1st day homebrewing is legal in the state of Mississippi! Celebrate with all of us tonight by raising a pint in solidarity!!!

1C - No Boil - No Chill and fermented at room temp for 4 months. OG was 1.032 To explain the No Chill part: I go straight from the mash tun at mash temps into the fermenter. Then bring the carboy inside with sanitized foil over the opening and let is cool to room temp for 24 hours and then...

I'll jump in too... I don't get down this far in the forum threads too often. I'm from the Coast and Co-Founder of the Anti-Homebrew Club Gulf Coast Brewers League. LOL I'm on my 2nd/3rd Berliner Weisse after success with the 1st brew. Daybis... what yeast did you use? I have used the White...

My apologies! I must have overlooked that! $800 is a tempting price... the additional cost to drive (12 hours each way) to get it puts me out of reach. Good Luck selling it.

Roses are Red, My Balls are Blue, I've brewed so much beer, My wife is too drunk to screw!
