    Nurmey finally scores!

    I beleive there are lines in the side, I had a friend who had one almost identical to this and they attempted to put taps through the side and hit the lines. Pretty much ruined the unit. I don't beleive we have any plans to do this with ours, and I know we still are tossing around the idea of...

    Nurmey finally scores!

    I'll answer this, though I'm sure Nurmey will have some further details. Living in a small craftsman bungelow, space is at a premium, and this unit will be playing several roles. We plan on trying some lagering. It will also give us someplace to actually have a keg or two available for serving...

    St. Patricks Day brew schedule?

    We just brewed up a Holiday Stout last weekend. Yeah I know a little late, but hey St. Patrick's Day is a holiday too, in fact in my book it is THE Holiday, so barring some really unfortunate mishap that should be ready by then. Beyond that I've plenty of Scottish Ale and Strong Amber on hand...

    I wanna grow hops but no idea how

    We grow them here in Nebraska and they grow very well. I believe we need to plant more though, as alas we never seem to have enough hops.

    Portable Camping/Tailgating Keg Setups ??

    I guess it all depends on how long you want to keep the beer cold for. I've used a couple of corny kegs in a cooler before and then filled around the kegs with ice. This kept the beer pretty cold for an evening, but by the next morning, all the ice had melted and the beer was getting pretty...

    Putting a dye in your beer

    I was at my favorite local bar on St. Patty's Day, having an Irish Coffee. (It was early in the morning) And someone walks in and asks what kind of green beer they have. The bartender/owner, whose a freind of mine answers. "What kind do you want?" Guy says "Coors light". The bartender goes...

    Beer prejudice at restaurants?

    In Omaha it kind of varies. Obviously the main stream Applebee's, Chili's and such are strictly BMC, however some of the local restaurants seem to understand and appreciate the varied and vast selection of beers and have a tendency to stock while not a lot of them, a decent selection, which...

    brewery name/logo

    Looks like a boxer, but it must be a mix as the ears appear too big. What kind of dog is that?

    Whatever Happened To Dive Bars?

    While I have a tendency to get my drink on at either my local F.O.E. or V.F.W. I do not partake in beer there, as they do not have anything worthy of being partook. That said Omaha has more bar's per capita than any other city. We have plenty of neighborhood bars, which if they overacheived...

    Austin Homebrew Kits

    I believe we've done a Stella Artois clone, from Austin which turned out really well. In fact we've been serving it over the holiday's and have had comments from regular Stella drinkers that they liked ours better than the original. Haven't ever tried the Warsteiner though.
