I've been throwing around the idea of going electric for the last couple of years. I've finally decided to pull the trigger on acquiring parts for my build. I'm going to start with 2 62qt Bayou stainless pots utilizing my existing mash-tun, a 70qt Colman Xtreme cooler. This is the schematic...

I was bored a few weeks ago and decided to go out and buy wood to build a small home bar. I had plans from a while back that I had drawn up in Sketchup. My main goals were to build a bar that would contain my existing DIY two tap kegerator, and have storage for glassware, liquor and possibly a...

Just had to post some in progress pics of my winter warmer. It's a spiced cherry dubbel. After 3 weeks in primary I racked onto 6lbs of cherries (half tart, half sweet). The hydrometer sample tasted great, I can't wait to taste the sample in a month when I rack it off of the fruit!

Back on the 18th I placed an order for 5 different rhizomes from DIY Brewing Co. to be delivered in April. I also made up my mind over the last few days on how I was going to setup my raised bed hops garden. My plan is to build 5 36"x36"x12" cedar boxes to contain a single hop variety each...

Here are a couple of pics of my label for my first brew. I'm going to go with a music/guitar theme for all of my future brews as well.

Howdy everybody, I just bottled my first batch of homebrew this evening and I'm already planning more!!!! I've wanted to make my own beer for years, and I finally discovered the local HBS a little over a week ago. One visit was all it took, I went out and bought a brew pot that night, and...
