    What do you pack for Lunch at work?

    I love these threads, and couldn't find one on HBT. Here's hoping this one will gain momentum. So, after 6 months straight of eating the same cold-cut sandwich about 3 days a week at work, I finally got sick of them and doubt i'll be making one any time soon. FWIW, it was a bangin'...

    Pretty cool-- get $100 restaurant.com gift card for $20. Marinofoundation.org

    Saw an ad on TV last night for marinofoundation.org Apparently they paired up with restaurant.com to raise money for the charity. They will give you a 100 dollar restaurant.com GC for 20 bucks, or a 250 dollar one for 50 bucks. I bought the $250 one for 50 bucks. :) The catch is...

    Y'know what? This deserves its own thread. Sweet and Spicy Bacon Chicken Recipe.

    What I'm about to bestow should not be taken lightly. This is the BEST muhfuggin' chicken we have EVER made. EVAR. Save it for a time when you're with that special someone. For a time when the **** has hit the fan, and this was all you could find @ the grocery store before it shut down...

    Can this be right? 78% Efficiency on my first all-grain (no-sparge BIAB) batch?

    I'm just really second-guessing myself, as per the usual any time I undertake something new. I did a full-volume, no-sparge BIAB batch the other day, which was my first attempt at all-grain brewing. Bought a grain mill, and used it for the first time on 8lbs 2-row (rahr), and 2lbs of...

    Worst...brew day...ever!

    So i decided i needed to brew today, since i only have one tap going, and i get the feeling that the keg will be kicked very soon. Had an American Ale in primary; today makes 2 weeks on the dot. Decided to make the American Honey Porter kit that i had in the fridge. Came up with the name...

    Question on kettle- bayou classic 1140 --- 10 gal pot with steamer basket and spigot

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/200810210704?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Hi all, I can't seem to find any good pictures of this kettle other than the one "stock photo" that is shown on the ebay auction. I'm looking at getting a 10-11 gallon kettle with strainer...

    10' 3/16" beer line, 14psi, foamy & flat. What gives?

    Ok, so I used a combo of these 2 resources to try and balance my first kegged batch. (preface, I rock/rolled @ 12psi, and then hit it with 20psi for a day to start off. This was well over a week ago, so I hoped any screwup has reached equilibrium) Here, I determined that @ 38F, and 16psi, I...

    Does Nectresse ferment?

    For the first time ever, I did a search and got 0 results. Anyone know if the new sweetener "Nectresse" they're advertising will ferment? I just saw a commercial for it for the first time, and was wondering if it would be a viable option to sweeten my apfelwein. I've never been a fan of...

    Recommendations for first Bulk Hop purchase?

    Hi All, I'm interested in my first bulk (for me at least) hop pellet purchase. As a fairly new extract brewer, I really don't know which hops to get. I would like to spend as little as possible, and order somewhere around 5lbs of pelletized hops at most. I like the citrusy/fruity...

    WOOOO!!! Beer!

    WOOOOO!! (As in this commercial:) http://youtu.be/dWzH_D8SQwI First batch ever got put into bottles today. (don't tell anyone it took me a couple hours start>finish) NB Caribou Slobber. 3wks Primary, 1wk Secondary. Had a few mishaps, but I don't appreciate any off-flavors...

    This is just Off-Gassing, right? (pic)

    This is my first batch (NB caribou slobber with dry yeast-- windsor i believe). It was in primary (bucket) for 3 weeks, then racked into a brand new better-bottle that still had a good bit of star-san foam in it (on purpose, after pouring out the liquid star-san). Well, the batch had been...

    Staggered Fermentation-- Temp Probe question

    Is there any way to keep 2 fermenters happy in the same chamber if one is at High Krausen, and one in conditioning? Ideally, I'm trying to establish a pipeline with a new batch going into the ferm chamber every 2 weeks. That may or may not mean that I'd have a batch still conditioning in the...

    Howdy from NC :)

    Just getting into the hobby; been reading HBT a couple hours a day, for about the last 2 weeks. As well as read the first good bit of Palmer's "how to brew"-- the entirety of section 1 minus the lager part, as well as some of section 2. (I get bored at work, LOL) So, I've been wanting to...
