I am turning 50 next month. Yeah yeah yeah, I know. Over the hill and all that. I am giving away bottles of brew to my guy friends who are throwing a party for me and I am stumped. What would YOU put on the label? I have thought of several ideas but did not particularly like any...

I made a Pils and was not expecting the amazing jump in efficiency that I got due to crushing my own grains. Rather than 1.050 it was 1.068. It finished at 1.08. Can you say Imperial Pilsner? It is a bit much to drink. I had bottled a few before I sent it away to be lagered and it...

We are giving away a couple of cases of this amazing stout and I thought you might like the labels. We get a kick out of seeing the expression on peoples faces when you give them Homebrew for Christmas. I put this explanation on the back so no one had the impression they were drinking...

As some of you know, I am a sometimes author and have been published in numerous Sites and Publications. I have recently published a new article Homebrewing 1A dedicated to beginning brewers. It is far too large to reprint here (nearly 5000 words) but if you have an interest in Brewing, I...

So what do you think? Cheers, knewshound

I am having another of my famous brew days and am looking for interested brewers. It is not something formal, but rather, just a bunch of guys getting together to make beer, shoot the breeze, smoke cigars and generally, be guys. It is on the 17th of Nov from 9 to ??? Interested? Drop...

As usual, I go for the Pinup theme. I was trying to make the lettering subdued, hence the red color. Hope you like it because they are already glued on ! Cheers, knewshound [/URL][/IMG] Edit; The small lettering looks crappy in this pic only. Actual print is flawless.

I am coming to Minn/St Paul in a couple of weeks and since I always try to drink locally, I was wondering what are the preferred local brews? Thanks, knewshound

Just a fast dirty one to put on a dozen bottles. Cheers, knewshound

I am leaving tomorrow for a trip to Las Vegas to celebrate my Son turning 21. We are arriving tomorrow evening so that he can be sitting in the bar at the stroke of Midnight so he can buy his first legal drink. Why does this make me feel sooooooooo old? I need a beer. Cheers...

We had a busy day yesterday, all told, we ended up with 5 brewers all going at once for a total of 30 gallons for the day. It was amazing, no major F-Ups, I was the only boil over and everyone hit their targets, even me with my legendary poor efficency. Pics are here, check back from time to...

I have a friend who is going to be doing his first ever brew and is quite interested in doing an extract version of my patented “Steam Pils”. Since I have not brewed an extract beer in many, many years, I can use a hand with the conversion of my AG recipe. 18 Lbs German Pilsner...

I run a Golf League and would love to find a spreadsheet to do the work for me. Does anyone have a spreadsheet that will compute handicaps, keep scores etc. that is already made? I'm afraid this is well beyond my capabilities and I am having no luck finding one on the web. Anyone...

Since the temps have come down to below what I can ferment at and SWMBO has forbade me from fermenting in the house due to the incident of the clogged bubbler and the subsequent carboy explosion, I have been experimenting using my fermentation chiller as a temperature controlled chest. Here are...

This is some really good stuff... Hash Brown Quiche Let aprox 3 cups of Hash Browns defrost and squeeze the excess water out of them. Take an 11 X 14 pan and lightly grease it with butter. Put a layer of the potatoes in the dish, all the way up to the top, brush on melted butter to...

Forgive the British terms, it is funny none the less. Do you know how to use these tools? 1. DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, splattering it...

My family and I will be traveling to London in June and I would love to talk about some things. I have not been to the UK in 25 years and would love some suggestions about areas to stay, sightseeing and most of all, good pubs and beer. I am so looking forward to drinking some honest ale ...

I plan on putting this as a small folded tag for my Xmas beer for those who have never poured a homebrew. The actual Image that I will print is about 4X6. Once folded it sould be about 2X2. The space at the end of the text is a "Best if Used Before" date I will hand write on them...

This is what we are putting on our Christmas Stout. Not as racy as some of the pin ups I have used in the past but it is fitting for the season I think. [/IMG] Cheers, knewshound
