Happy birthday to me! My wife got me a stir plate (I already had the flask), an oxygenation system, books and a subscription to BYO!

Would anyone be interested in a metro Detroit meetup? I have a friend at Liberty Street Brewing Company in Plymouth who has agreed to give HBTers a tour. It's also a nice space so I figured we could do a tour and then get to know local HBTers. I've tentatively scheduled it for Sunday, Jan...

I have a small netbook that I run Beersmith on when I'm brewing, but I'd rather use my main desktop for things like putting in recipes. So I figured out how to get Beersmith to run from both computers without having to manually copy recipes back and forth: Sign up for a free Dropbox account...

If you're a Michigan resident you should contact your state rep to tell them you support House Bill 5613. It will make it legal to have homebrew club meetings and competitions in brew pubs and microbreweries. This was posted to my homebrew club's mailing list:

I bought a spare keg a couple months ago and was prepping it to use it. So I put some Oxiclean in it. And forgot about it. This week I opened it up and poured out the water in it, only to find a rough surface inside. Apparently the Oxiclean started forming crystal stalactites, and they...

The Onion (America's Finest News Source) has a man-on-the-street article about how climate change is affecting beer production at http://www.theonion.com/content/amvo/beer_production_threatened_by I think Hans Weinburger may be my neighbor, and probably yours too!

Looking at the Wikipedia article on the Temperance Movement I found this awesome image and wanted to share: "Who does not love wine wife and song will be a fool for his lifelong!"

I just saw this at Kroger (a midwest grocery store): Looks like it could be a good deal for anyone looking to make a keezer. 5.3 Cu. Ft. should be big enough for 2 corny kegs and CO2 (The Sanyo 4912 is 4.9 Cu. Ft.)

I'm in Plymouth, half an hour west of Detroit and half an hour east of Ann Arbor. My future in-laws used to brew, and I've always wanted to give it a shot. At the end of last year I borrowed their equipment and picked up a Brewers Best Irish Stout kit from Adventures in Homebrewing. My...
