I'm really hoping that GSP gives Penn a good old fashioned beating..

Just wanted to share what it looks like in my front and back yards this morning. Color is a little off because it's snowing and still not light out. How about yours???

I finally took a deep breathe and dove into the world of all grain. First I wanted to thank some of the people on this board that helped me without even knowing it (forgive me if I sound like an actor at the Oscars and leve some people out):D: Fly Guy - Thanks for the great instructions on the...

Congrats! Welcome to the obsession.

I decided to brew my first Scotch Ale yesterday. It was my first time doing a full boil. My first time using my immersion chiller which was my first beer DIY project. My first time going over on the OG. It was suppose to be 1.057-55 and ended up 1.064. I can't figure that one out. The only...

Here are a few comments from Olympic Commentators that will make you laugh: Weightlifting: This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing. Dressage: This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once...

I had to drive down to Tacoma to give a training. (took me 4 1/2 freekin hours to get here) Anyway, I check into my room on the water and then take about a mile walk along the ocean and find a bar that is having happy hour. I had more nachos than I could eat, 1 pitcher and a pint of local...

I know we have many HBT members in Texas and just wanted to wish any of you in the path of Hurricane Dolly my best wishes. I hope y'all come out unscathed! Stay Safe!

My wife comes home and works out everyday. I asked her last night, "Why do you have to work out every night?" She says, "It makes me feel good and I like to look good for you." I looked her square in the eye and said, "I appreciate the hard work, but, that's why I drink beer." After, a few...

I was just curious as to why my secondary looks like a perfectly poured Black and Tan. I racked to it yesterday and placed it in my garage. It got down in the 40's last night (which I didn't expect). I know I have a lot of sediment to drop (some of the grain was crushed pretty good), but, can...

Backstory - So, my swmbo went out of town on a biz trip - I work at home and it's a real slow day so I'm quiting early :rockin:- I figure I'm going to have a few brews -I suddenly realize that I can't start on my one batch that is ready to drink ( I'm saving it for when my best friend is coming...

I've been on this board for about a month and just realized I never took the time to introduce myself (didn't mean to be rude). I live in NW Washington State on the coast, near the border. I am married with 4 daughters and 2 granddaughters (but am still young:rockin:) All the kiids are gone...

I was pleasantly surprised. I couldn't believe how worried I was about this:) The second pic is of the same pour after about a minute...

I'm just a little concerned about the "Rocket Widget" still in them.

This weekend, I finally opened a bottle of my first batch (Coopers Stout Kit). Tastes great! The waiting sure was hard and I'm planning on letting the bottles sit for another 3 weeks before drinking the rest (Yea riiiight) :) Thanks to everyone for all the advice!:mug: I think I'm hooked...

I just bottled my first batch and am ready to start the second! I wasn't thinking about summer aproaching this quickly when I decided to make my first batch a stout. My issue is that my best friend and his wife will be coming out to visit in 5 weeks. I would really like to have a summer ale...

First, Thanks to all of you on this board! I brewed my first batch on Sunday (stout). Anyway, I went to the garage this morning and checked on the fermentation. The airlock was seeping the brown "sludge". I took off the airlock cap and was sprayed all over. Is this normal? Can I replace...
