My brewing style is fairly, uh, spur of the moment, and this recipe comes out pretty consistent. Little things like a few oz different malts or the exact timing of the hop additions will not change anything. The only detail to sweat on this recipe may be the Honey Malt. It is not available...

Well, I guess I can just chalk this up to a learning experience. I wanted to go with 1/2" tubing, not knowing much about bending the stuff. I had a friend help me wrap it around a 5gal bucket, but we still managed to get a few kinks in it. I didn't think much of it at the time. It worked great...

Well, in light of my unemployment, and the world going to heck in a handbasket, it seems logical to take the family on an expensive vacation.;) What better community to ask for any treasures of either vacation rentals or hotels that you have found in London (the UK one, not Ohio) than y'all...

For those of you that are fans, the new vintage is out and is a bit smokier than last year's. The smoke flavor has a tendency to mellow with age, so make sure you get several and hide them from yourself for a year or so.

The Return of Sawyer’s Triple. For those of you who missed it before, it is a great beer. 100% of proceeds, not profit, go to Fight ALD Now, a warning, the last link is a downer to read, but, one of the major goals of the organization is to get people to be familiar with the symptoms and...

So how come this guy nine debuts as a mod? He's got some interesting posts. He's the leader in profile comments Fascinating viewpoints, he really didn't need any introduction.:p

So I get a call from the wife who is out impulse shopping with my 4yr old son today. She's at Homegoods (a clearance store for crap in the home) and she says "would you have any use for a 60qt kettle? They have a few here for $32." :rockin::ban::rockin: I have yet to see the thickness...

When you have the Pizza Port Bottle shop. Every time I go in there, my head starts to spin with the battle between what I want to try, and what I can justify spending. Here is my haul for the weekend (or tonight at least) I've actually been drinking the Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale for a few...

Well, there's been quite a bit of sympathetic talk about Anheuser-Busch around here lately. Tonight This just came in the e-mail. I say we mobilize the HBT machine:rockin: Here is the text. June 20, 2008 Dear Beer Activists and Homebrewers, The craft brewers of California need...

Note: This is not the tired old "can I use one to supply my MLT" thread. Well, I think my old water heater is finally done. It may actually be the original one with the house, which would make it about 20 years old. The wife and I would like to get a tankless model both for efficiency and...

My coworker showed me Gizoogle today, so the first thing I did was Gizoogle us. Take the url from any page and translate it instantly. Here's a recent quote from the Bird, as he never intended it... "Thing is, you can makes gin n' juice simply ta begin wit (and real good bea), n add...

I am going to be in SLC next week and am looking for good beer and good food. I wish I could make it out to Wasatch, but I will be in training from 9-5 and don't think it will be wise for me and the co-worker to brave the mountain rd after hitting the pints. If that drive is a cake walk, let...

Maybe it was an error, but I was all ready to pull the trigger on a 60 qt stockpot from instawares (salivating just a little) until I saw a $33 shipping charge for a $49 item. So I started digging around for the same item and found it $1 cheaper and with $17 shipping from ... get this ...

I've read that one shouldn't serve wine through a standard beer type faucet that contains brass. Does this apply to cider and/or mead as well? Is it a pH thing? I've done some digging and can't find any good info, so I figured I'd check around here. As much as "you should do this, not that"...

I just listened to a BrewCrazy podcast talking about a recent paper published by an employee at New Belgium. Here's an abstract... Olive Oil Addition to Yeast as an Alternative to Wort Aeration To extend the flavor stability of their beers, many breweries are researching ways of reducing...

Now, don't get me wrong, I really like the magazine and am not trying to incite a boycott or anything, but I am not getting the warm fuzzies from their customer service right now. It's like this... I filled out the online form for the "first issue no risk" thing, got the first one, liked it...

Can one buy the metallic /plastic foil for use in a foodsaver or other vacuum sealer? I found a sealer that specifically says it has different settings for plastic lined foil, but I'm having a hard time finding the material to put in it. Does anyone have any experience here? Is it even...
