Have had a 14.5" WSM for a few years now. Just recently got the digiq fan/controller and today was my first smoke with it. Loved the digiq, but the pork took WAY too long to smoke. Started this morning removing the pork shoulder from the cryovac packaging, patted dry, covered with rub. It...

I've had a Rancilio Silvia for over 10 years and a Rocky for even longer. In that time, I've been making cappuccinos for myself nearly every weekend morning. When I started, I'd make drinks occasionally for my girlfriend, now, she's my wife and generally has a decaf americano. After 10 years...

I bought this center inlet chugger pump almost two years ago for a RIMS system that I never got around to building. Since then, I picked up another chugger pump from another homebrewer as part of a package deal with a bunch of other equipment and don't think I'll ever use this one. SOLD!

Kind of a weird looking half and half pellicle. (With and without flash)

Just cleaned a draft line with my normal method (pumping BLC then water backwards through the lines for 10 min each). Then, again as usual, hooked the line up to a keg and poured off the last bit of water and the first bit of beer from the keg into a glass to be poured out. As I grabbed the...

I purchased the Apera PH60 on an amazon lightning deal during their prime day sales. I know at least a couple of others here on HBT got the same meter for the same great $55 price (currently $70 "normal" price on amazon)...

GO CUBBIES!!! :tank: all of the caps. all of the time.

Hi! First post (just look at my post count) and as I understand, this is the place to post first. I got into homebrewing a few years ago. Was on a homebrewing forum for a while, i though it was this one, but apparently it wasn't. Seems like a great place!

I've previously thought that I wouldn't be a great beer judge, or worse, that becoming more analytical about beer would somehow reduce my enjoyment of it. Recently, with some informal judging at homebrew club meetings and helping out at a competition this weekend, I'm rethinking that position...

A little over a month ago, I brewed and had about 1.5oz of Cascade hop pellets leftover that i put in a small mylar bag in the freezer. A little over a week ago, I brewed and had 1oz of Amarillo and .5oz of Citra pellet hops that I set aside for dry hopping, put them in a small mylar bag in...

Brewed an imperial stout today and after getting the stout done, I continued a long fly sparge and collected 7.5G of 1.031 wort. (Which i brought to a boil tonight, but wasn't prepared to finish the job.) I plan to boil that down to 6.5G and make a second beer from it tomorrow. I anticipate...

I read somewhere a few weeks ago that PBW does a great job cleaning coffee residue. My carafe and travel mugs, all Stainless Steel on the inside are used very regularly (at least one of the three is used 5 days a week) and I never do more than rinse them after emptying. They all had a lot of...

I got up to New Glarus this weekend and got some of the Peach from the release that brought the world Very Sour Blackberry last year. This beer is bringing in some big trades, so if you're interested, let me know what you have!

I've got a lot of 2012 Dark Lord, but little 2013 Dark Lord and nothing before 2009. I may also trade off some Baller Stout for pre-2009 Dark Lord. Any Takers?

Anybody near Ewing, NJ want to do a trade? This request is a little odd, so stay with me here... I've been in NJ the last couple weeks for work (and I'm going back this week). I noticed some River Horse beer on a shelf at a bottle shop. My wife's likes Hippos and mentioned recently...

I picked up two six-packs of Hopslam when it came out, put them in the fridge and have only drank one or two. I'd be happy to trade off a six pack for something interesting. I'd definitely be interested in Deschutes Abyss. Other than that, I'm mostly looking for interesting things that I...

Back in October, i made a cider with nothing but freshly pressed, unpasturized cider directly from an orchard and yeast. It had been improving with age in the keg for most of the time. I hadn't had much of it for a couple weeks until i poured a couple glasses on NYE. To me it just tasted off...

The first week of October, I bought a fresh pack of WY1450 Denny's Favorite 50. I made a 1L starter with it, then stepped that up to 4L on my stirplate. I used half of it in an oatmeal stout that weekend, then put the other half in a growler in the refrigerator. I had intended to use it...

Darkness is about the only beer I really want to try and haven't had a chance to. I accidentally picked up a second bottle of Haiia today not remembering that I already had one at home, so that makes an easy trade, but I'm open to other IL/WI/IN requests.

I thought about putting this in drunken ramblings, it might actually make more sense there... DISCLAIMER: Don't do this at home, in the garage or anywhere else, it doesn't work well, if at all, and it may injure you, your beer, your family, or your reputation. It may also hurt the economy...
