Sent out only two of my brews to each of my swappers. After seeing the lists from other people, I feel somewhat inadequate. I wish I could keep it around long enough to have a selection to choose from, and believe me, I brew a lot. Also, I feel kinda bad about just sending pales. Someone told me...

I just finished listening to a Basic Brewing podcast and heard something interesting. Maybe you can help clarify this for me. The show was a basic one on beginning homebrewing with Andy Sparks. (I have been listening to them in reverse order for some reason and found myself somewhere...

I've been going up north intermittenly to train in a new position at our sister company. I'm really only learning so that I can cover for this dude when he goes on vacation. Well, today the boss goes "Do you drink beer?" My answer was does the Pope **** in the woods?! (BL ref.) So he says to...

I am surprised that no one has started a topic about this. Chelada As if you guys didn't hate them already. I have the ability to try this anytime I want and I just can't do it. Tomatoey/Clamy/Salty Dog urine just will not ever make it into my mouth. There are some pretty colorful...

Not that kind of smoking, you stoners! I've noticed that when I drink anything hoppy, I want to smoke cigarettes like a feind. Do you kids get that to (obviously I am asking the smokers)? -Drew

First AG today. Preheat the cooler with hot tap water Heat mash water to 165 (10:15am) Dough in @ a little under 150, add .5 gallon boiling water to bring up to 154. Mash ended up being about 3 gallons with 9.75# of grain. Mashed for 1 hour. Prep sparge water, 5 gallons at 170, during...

I'm finally doing it. ALL GRAIN. I was prepping for tomorrows brew when I had this idea. I think it will work and will require no more purchases on my end, but I need you to tell me go for it OR "You're just plain dumb." I have two empty ones of these: Could I drill holes evenly spaced...

Apparently,........ If you buy over $100 dollars in grain and hops, they send you a free baby.

Specs:BB IPA w/extra cup of Amber DME Intending to dry hop w/ an extra 1oz Cascade leaf, WLP0001 no starter I've never seen those "rings" on a carboy before. Can someone explain that? *read OP is to much of a bush to ask if he's got an infection*

I have looked over a number of recipes and I have noticed that some of them have been posted by people that either are in the process of brewing or are in secondary. Often these recipes have a last thread of, "How is this brew going?" I am wondering if it would not be better for the new guys...

I had to build a display at a place called Country Pantry today. They boast (according to a bilboard I passed along the way) 500 styles of beer! I know for a fact that that is inacurate because there aren't 500 styles. But they do have a rather extensive selection of single beers. I figured that...

.....I'm kick ass! I think. I have been making extract/steep beers for the last couple of months. I have been happy all of them. But something's missing. I need the thrill of creating something of my own. I have tried a few from this site. BM's Aberdeen and McTarnamins BB Holiday, (both as...

Could someone explain to me in simple terms how the actual alcohol remains in a homogenous soloution? I was just researching aging beer in kegs and wondered if this happens. Since alcohol is lighter than water, why doesn't it rise to the surface of whatever container the beer is in? If this...

Anyone have a recipe for this? Great Lakes Brewing Co. Commodore Perry IPA. The web site only says, "A medium-bodied and well hopped India Pale Ale with a dry, fruity aftertaste." I killed my first keg, dammit/yipee! (Thanks to all who helped with my questions, I couldn't have done it without...

My 1st batch of BM's Haus Session Ale was kegged on sunday and hooked up to the gas the same day. Today I opened up my kegerator to find a pint of beer in the bottom. It seem the leak is commoing from the liquid out post. Not around the post but from the actual hole. How the fick do I remedy...

....but what the fick. My name is Drew. I am 26 years old and I live in Youngstown, Ohio. I got hitched about a year and a half ago, but didn't really get a SWMBO 'til April. That is when we had our first child, Emma. I work as the sign shop manager at a beer distributorship for a MAJOR US...

Do you have Austin Homebrew ship to your office so SWMBO doesn't find out? I think I may have crossed the line into obsession. I bought my first Ale Pales in mid-October. Since then I have added a second glass Carboy, two more air locks (so I can have two brews going at the same time), build...

No one I know likes REAL beer! My friends all prefer the BL and CL and the occasional Select. I found myself in a quandry this morning when I went to check on my 15 gallons of IPA, AHS Canadian and McTarnamins BB holiday ale... I'm the only one I know who is going to appreciate this stuff! I do...

And I am doing an extract recipe converted from an AG. I've read up on Buscuit Malt and know that it has no enzymes to convert the starch into sugar. It was recomended that it be mashed with grains that have excess diastatic power, but I am not mashing. The other two specialty/flakes I am using...
