    Issue with MoreBeer's website

    I have been a member of this forum for quite a while and yet I hardly ever post. However this morning I came across something that I wanted to ask about. Has anyone had issues with MoreBeer's website? I have never used MoreBeer before but I have really started to like the idea since they...

    Heading to Vegas

    Hello all, I found an old thread that kind of answers my question but is back form the middle of 2009 so I thought that I would ask again. I am heading to Vegas here at the end of the week and was just wondering if any of you knew of any good brewpubs or beer bars down in Vegas. I have heard...

    Venturing into the wine world

    Hello all, So I have decided that after a few successful years of brewing beer I thought that I would try my hand at wine. I am pretty sure that I can figure out the process and have already done a fair amount of reading on the subject. I have decided to try out the Cellar Craft Orange...

    Well that felt good

    I didn't think that it was going to feel as good as it did, but I brewed up 2 batches yesterday. The first time brewing in a year. Damn, that felt good! Sorry to toot my own horn, but I had to tell someone!

    Fixed freezer shelf, remove or manipulate?

    So through a bit of luck and with a little sweet talk I was able to get my hands on a free upright freezer. It was actually pretty cool as I have been looking for one for a while to use as a place to put my fermenting beers. I really was not able to look at it before I got it in my garage, so...

    Heading to Hell...AKA Yuma, AZ

    So I don't know how I go talked into it but I will be heading off to Yuma, AZ at the end of the week. Now in the past when I have been there I have pretty much struck out when it comes to finding a good beer. So any southern AZ natives out there that know of a good brew pub or at least bottle...

    Homebrew oddity of the day

    So I a while back a brewed a blonde and I was not to happy with it. It was drinkable but not all that great. I had used some older leaf hops that I had in the fridge, pretty sure that is what messed it up. So I decided that I was going to dump it, no need in having terrible beer on tap...

    Bad brewer, bad!

    I have been a bad brewer lately. I have 5 gallons of Apfelwein that I has been sitting on the yeast for just about 4 months now, I am sure it is ruined. I have 5 gallons of ESB that I need to bottle, it has been in the carboy for 4 weeks now. I want to brew again, not sure when that is going to...

    BTP - Hop utilization

    So over the last few hours I have been going over my brewing methods and processes. One of the areas that I was focusing on was IBU's, residual sweetness, and the resulting off balance beers I have been getting. I figured one of the issues was how BTP calculates IBU's when compared to the...

    Crying me a river

    So I finally got around to tasting my 80/-. Lets just say I am very disappointed. I realize that the beer is still young at only 1 month, with two weeks of that being in the bottle, but it is severely lacking. The carb is not where I want it, it is very thin. The flavors have not quite come...

    Do you ever one of those times?

    That you just want to beat the living **** out of Bill Gates? Out of the a$$holes that think it is good idea to bundle completely useless software with software that is useful? That you want to strangle your wife when you tell you to make sure that you un-check EVERY last MOTHER ******* box...

    Questions on blue agave extract

    You know I am not even quite to sure were to start this post off, not only that I wasn't even sure where to put it as it contains questions on brewing math as well as product. Well here we go.... I am thinking of using this in a batch of experimental beer for my boss. She is a big fan of...

    Using Rye, how much is too much?

    So I am thinking of doing a partial mash Rye Pale Ale. I generally mash about 4 pounds of grain as that is all my little MLT can handle. I guess the question would be how much Rye should be contained in the grain bill. How strong is the stuff flavor wise? Right now I am thinking of doing 1...

    Replace Beer Alchemy Inventory?

    Does any one know if there is a download-able inventory for Beer Alchemy. I like the software a bit more the BTP as far as user interface but I find the inventory DB to be lacking. Just thought I would toss it out there and see if anyone knows. Next step will be to email the developer. Thanks!

    Anyone else at MacWorld???

    So being given the chance to leave my comfy regional brews in Reno Nevada and coming down to MacWorld in San Francisco I have had the opportunity to try some new and tasty beers. So far I have had two beers from Bear Republic, the Racer 5 IPA and the Red Rocket Ale. I have also had the...

    Online bottle shops

    So I have just about gone blind searching the form for this and I have come to 2 conclusions: 1. Either my search capabilities suck -or- 2. This hasn't really been discussed. Right now I am leaning towards number 1. So who do you guys order beer from online? I know of BevMo, but are...

    Do pellet hops stay in suspension?

    So, I fell like I am back to the beginning and just starting out as a home brewer. I have made some pretty silly mistakes on the last 2 beers and I am seriously doubting myself. Between the Anbesol Ale and now the dry hopping adventure, but meh, my doubts not yours. Anyway, the question is...
