I'm bringing booze and beer down to Sanibel Island with some Wine Diapers, and I'm wondering what bottles of beer to put in them for the trip home? Let the suggestions begin.

I have a bunch of swing top bottles I don't use, and instead of selling them or giving them away, I propose a trade for some brewing items I need. The bottles would need new gaskets. Here is what I have: 3x 750ml/28oz green 8x 16.9oz brown 1x 12oz brown The kind of things I'm...

I was just down in my beer room and thought "I'm running low. I only have 5 cases of beer."

When I first started brewing, Brewer's Best Rye Pale Ale extract kit was one of my all-time favorite beers. When I went all-grain it took me a few batches to perfect a version I was happy with. I prefer to first wort hop this beer, and not dry hop it. I've included the original hop schedule...

A building a couple of blocks from me is getting rehabbed. They tore of a horrid later addition to reveal this! We've been making a lot of beer these days, but we are just getting started getting in touch with our roots.

I've been brewing like crazy and I very freely give away mixed six-packs to friends and family, but my wife had a request: She was telling a doctor she works for about my hobby to which he replied that he doesn't like home brew. My wife's response was to ask me to give him some of my beer to...

My father in law is looking for something to do now that he is close to retiring, and my hop vines have given him the idea of growing some hops on the acreage he has in Iowa. One thing I was researching for him is what can be done with the vines after harvest. I watched a video of a farm in...

My back and neck finally allow me to haul my gear up from the basement. The cold water coming out of the tap is 48 degrees to fuel my wort chiller. Running the burners on the stove helps heat the house. Winter is my favorite time to brew. Three of six fermenters are bubbling away, with the...

My wife, who is the great enabler in my homebrew career, brought the cost of brewing into a discussion for the first time last night. I hope this is not a trend.

I have a all-grain recipe that has a 11lb 12oz malt bill, 1lb of which is flaked rye and another 4oz is rice hulls. Do I even need the rice hulls with 1lb of rye flakes, or is it better to have them and not need them? I have a 10 gallon false bottom Rubbermaid cooler as my mash tun. Red...

I was making an all-Amarillo IPA on Saturday and the wort coming out of the mash tun was still at 1.020 at the end of the sparge (measured with refractometer), even though I had drawn off all the volume I needed. Usually I'm in the low teens on the gravity coming out of my mash tun towards the...
