The fact that every two bit actor who played a minor part in some obscure movie or TV series has a wikipedia page and the arguably most accomplished homebrewer of all time, Gordon Strong, doesn't. Discuss.

A friend bought a used PLC based brewery which is controlled via an EZ3 (see 2nd image below) from ezautomation.net. He's not sure the source of the code on the EZ3 and when it powers up there's a "PLC1: read error" (see 1st image below). Nothing responds on the touchscreen when the error...

Yesterday I brewed a 10 gallon batch of pecan coffee oatmeal stout and cold brewed with a french press the quart or so of pecan coffee I was using it in. I put the coffee in the fermenter then dumped 2 packages of new US-05 on top of it then pumped in the wort on top of that using a venturi...

I have quite a few quick disconnects on my brewing system and they all are the type where you squeeze a couple handles on each side to seal the connection. Each handle had a stainless o-ring like you'd see on a key chain and one of the two o-rings per disconnect had a cotter-like pin on it. I...

I have used one of these for a while but as I don't have an effective and efficient way to clean it I have stopped using it. Anybody have one and have a good way to clean it?

I was recently in the Sierra Nevada taproom in Asheville, NC and among the many great beers I had the Chumbo Rosado stood out. My wife who is a wine drinker primarily and just tolerates beer also really enjoyed this one. At her request we bought a crowler of it to bring home. I am even...

According to wikipedia, Charlie Papazian is 72 today so happy birthday Charlie! When I started brewing in 1992 the only resource I had was his book and I still have it.

Two brews ago I calibrated my Tilt hydrometer in water using TiltPi interface because it seemed off. There was a .032 difference between the uncalibrated SG (1.032) and the calibrated water SG (1.000). After that on my next to last brew in July the OG seemed accurate as it was within a couple...

My Tilt Bluetooth hydrometer saves readings to a csv log file on a RPi running Tiltpi and I thought it might be interesting to see a cumulative chart of my last 3 10-gallon fermentations. The 34/70 was brewed Sunday so it has a ways to go but, behold for your amusement: FWIW, the 34/70 is in a...

My 20+ year old JSP Maltmill finally stopped crushing. This model uses a very simple mechanism to move both rollers. You crank or use a drill to move one roller and there's a band around the other which touches the powered roller causing both to turn. See picture below which helps explain the...

We had a fridge die this weekend and as I was cleaning out its freezer I found this package of Fuggles hops that I'd completely forgotten existed. The date of origin comes from the fact that its labeled as from Beer, Beer, and More Beer which changed its name to just MoreBeer in 2004 and also...

I use a keggle when I biab and also as part of a 3 vessel system I built. Cleaning it is probably my least favorite part of the brewing process and consequently it could be cleaner. When I get motivated enough I use a green kitchen scrubber pad and some Barkeepers Friend to clean off the...

My backyard deck has these odd pickets which are a pita to repair. Over time the bottoms of them become detached and most have been fixed with a screw diagonally through them into the bottom support railing but that is a tricky procedure for me so they are still straight after the repair. A...

if you went into a London pub with this signage which includes the words "Purveyors of Finest Ales, Stout & Porter" and neither the bartender nor the owner knew what a Porter was?

I have a 4 tap keezer I built in 2013 that I clean every 2-3 months using a small pump which circulates a BLC solution for 15 minutes through each line followed by a starsan mix for another 15 minutes. I thought this procedure was sufficient until my last keg which had an off taste to it that I...

I have a single tier 3 vessel natural gas powered herms system I built several years ago which works well and has given me zero trouble other than the self-inflicted kind so I'd like to continue using it for the foreseeable future. However it appears that in the next couple of years we will...

Early last Saturday I packed up my trusty 2000 Yukon with all my BIAB gear including big ladder and headed to my LHBS which was hosting a brew day for my homebrew club. I got there earliest and so got the choice spot in his backyard but from there on pretty much everything that could go wrong...

These are my paper books in order from the first one I bought in 1991 to some free ones I got when rejoining the AHA in 2018. The first Miller book from the left (and his best one IMO) is autographed. Dave Miller was such a gracious guy when I met him at a dinner held by my homebrew club I...

There were a boatload of these 1 pint 9.4 oz corked bottles of Chimay Grande Reserve at my local Costco this morning for $10.99. It seemed like an odd item to have in that quantity as Mobile is not a particularly robust beer town and the rest of the beer offerings at this location are ho hum...
