My wife and I bought a house about two years ago. Okay it's not a custom built fermentation closet it's a sauna. We rarely use it, it stays 66-68 degrees year round, it's big enough for around eight people to sit in, and it has no light or sunlight going into it. Perfect fermentation closet.

I recently attended my local homebrew club's monthly meeting (The Oregon Brew Crew) and we were given some cool free stuff. Full Sail Brewing donated over 300 lbs of hops and over 400 lbs of malt to the club to give away to members for free. There was a huge variety of everything to choose...

Don't know the sellar but a pretty good price if someone is looking for a 50 ft wort chiller ready to go. I could get one for $42 shipped to my house. Huge wort chiller for home brewing. This is a big one! - eBay (item 320369393541 end time Jun-07-09 16:02:47 PDT)

Since moving back to the Northwest I've found my new Homebrew Club. Anyone on here members? Anyone going to the meeting at Rock Bottom on the 12th? Sounds like it should be pretty cool.

I know, I know another dogs and hops thread. I'm moving and I had about 5 lbs of hops to ship to my best friend so he could throw it in his freezer while I drove across the country. The #(*$*%& UPS guy put the package in the back yard where my friend had two large labs. It didn't take the...

There was a thread ahile back about a cool free engineering game. You start with various objects like a wheel that that turns counter clockwise or clockwise and add sticks and water sticks to it to build a contraption to get a ball to a goal. Does anyone know the link?

I grew up in Oregon and lived there most of my life. I've lived in Michgian for the past 4+ years. I'll be moving back to Oregon in about a month. I just wanted to say thanks to all the Michgan Mashers that kept me sane (Revvy, Yooper, etc) I'm really going to miss Bastone and Dragonmead!

Just kidding. I brewed awhile ago and just dumped water and oxyclean on the yeast cake to let it clean up my carboy. It started smelling like death a few weeks ago. The wife is not happy that it is still sitting there. I had to put the tin foil on the top because the smell was so bad...

I received a refractometer from my mother-in-law for Christmas. I haven't brewed since then but calibrated it and messed around with it with table sugar in water. This is such an awesome tool! I can't wait until I brew next weekend!

Sorry you Columbus boys.

I'm going to be in Houston until Wednesday and the Dallas/Fort Worth area until Friday. What are some good brewpubs to hit up while I'm hear?

He is a 10 week old English Bulldog and we named him Bastogne (wife let me sneek that in for my love of Belgian beers). It's my first dog and now I have a brew dog!

I brewed up a Southern English brown about three weeks ago. I kegged it today. I've never tried the style before and was curious what it tasted like. I tried the hydrometer sample and it was fantastic. Chocolate is a good way to describe it. This was a low gravity beer with very low IBU's...

Something ridiculous for my 500th post.

So my favorite style of beer has always been a Belgian Triple. I've never had the balls to try and brew one because I don't have a solid means for fermentation control. There is about a month out of the year where my basement stays a solid 63-65 degrees. So I thought I would brew a triple and...

I'd like to move on to doing 10 gallon batches. I don't know any prices for doing any sort of welding and I don't know anyone that can do it for me. Is this a decent price? 15.5 Homebrew Kettle With One Weld Half Barrel

It's 22 degrees and snowing. What a perfect day to brew outside! Well in the garage but I couldn't think of a better way to spend my Saturday. Maybe I'll mash inside. Gonna try a Southern English Brown. Anyone else fighting the elements?

THE BEST BEERS IN THE WORLD BY STYLE Breweries in Michigan appeared in the top 30 six times. Is Revvy moonlighting at Bells and Founders?

Something special for my 300th post.
