I visited Morgan St. Brewery on the landing near the Arch in St. Louis this weekend. The good news was that the food was good. The bad news was the beer...all of it. I had the stout. Overly bitter and astringent. Coffee was the only pleasant taste and was overpowered by poor brewing...

I have a APL that has been sitting in primary for about 20 days now. I did a split batch and everything seemed to go fine. There was the initial 4-6 days of heavy activity-all went silent until about day 18 one of the batches started having activity again. Do you think this is infection? I...

Höðr = God of winter. Norse gods. This may be a Signature Valhalla's Gate brew. I would like some of you to make it and let me know if it is as good as I think. I get a lot of caramel mixed with a nice bread taste. Aroma is very pleasant and the IBUs are really well balanced. This is...

I am at home today and I have to make the call while my wife is at work on whether to paint the grout or leave it like it is. This room is my daughters(age2) playroom. Please vote.

So I left my job as a VP at Chase Bank two weeks ago. I was making 61K and had 4 weeks of vacation. I was getting a ton of heat and was told that even though sales were up 40% y/y I was making too much and they had to get rid of some of the higher paid people.(which I didn't think was me). So...

Question: Does it make sense to drill new holes and move the flame of a bayou classic closer to the bottom of my brewpot. My HLT will not heat up very quickly at all. 30k BTU. Any dangers? Anyone done this? Verm

So last week I put in my 2 weeks without a new job yet(don't ask). I have been interviewing a lot and needed a project to do while I am on "vacation". I have a 1200 sf workshop (unfortunately unheated) out back. My wife has been demanding that I move the brewery out there. I was bored and...

OK, New thread here to help me decide on a name. From the previous thread it was overwhelming how much everyone liked the term "Valhalla" Which is basically Viking Heaven for heroes. Unfortunately there is a small northern UK brewery named Valhalla brewery. So I have created some different...

A brewfriend and I made a beer tap out of Cocobolo wood last weekend. We obviously did it on a lathe and it turned out so cool. Although its just a plain 12" brewtap its very eyecatching. I think it goes well with an Amber. I want to make some more and be able to use them to identify which...

I made an Irish Red this past summer. Its been in the keg for 3 months now. Its aging at room temp. Taste is ok, but not there yet. Aroma is most easily described as not finished. It just doesn't smell right yet. As this is my first Red I was wondering if this is a unique sensation to my...

Guys, I have a porter that I bottled and kegged from the same batch on June 12th. The bottled is great and has a pleasant finished aroma. The kegged is a bit off on the aroma and still seems green. The kegs are at 40 F and the bottle conditioned at 72 F. Is it possible that the Kegged...
