I never met Charles (aka Big Kahuna) in person, but I feel like I had. There were several years we shared brewing and life knowledge here on HBT together. I wanted someday to meet up for a beer & now that's not going to be possible. So sad. RIP BK. I'll be tossing one down in your honor...

On Wed. June 10th prior to NHC I'll be hosting a bus tour and plan to hit 3 or 4 breweries. This is in the initial planning phase, but I usually leave from the conference hotel around 4:30p on Wed. and return about 9:30p-10p. Destinations have yet to be decided, but I try to hit newer or...

What would happen if I were to use say 1 lb. of malto dextrin in a 5g batch of cider? You think it'd be gross?

I've been searching the forum and don't see if anyone started an NHC photo thread for this year. I see a few threads from prior years. If one for 2014 doesn't exist let's start one.

I am planning my annual Soper Tour where I rent a party bus and visit 4 or 5 craft beer/brewery destinations. Right now I haven't decided on a Wed. night or Thurs. night launch. Thursday launch would conflict with late seminars and the welcome toast. Facebook users can view the event here...

Hey local homebrew folks, I'll be traveling next week to the Valencia/Santa Clarita area and was wondering if anyone wanted to meet up for a beer & talk about brewing. I arrive Monday the 28th & will be leaving either Wed. or Thursday. I was thinking of meeting up at Wolf Creek Brewery...

With much resistance from the local homebrew club due to its "sponsorship program" we managed to organize our own bulk grain buy. 2 pallets, 52 bags, 13 homebrewers, 2810 lbs. Delivered to my garage. Planning another one next year.

Me and TxLaw!

I'm not looking forward to this, but I've been asked to help the FIL buy a laptop. He's 67 and never used a computer before. I think all he wants it for is email, viewing family picture CDs, and maybe play a DVD movie. He's been showing me ads for extremely cheap laptop systems in the...

I'll be in Oahu on vacation July 8-13 and the wife has given me permission to spend one afternoon/evening out having a few beers. I was wondering if any HBTers from Hawaii would be able to meet out for a beer sometime during my stay. I'm thinking maybe over the weekend sometime would be best...

Leg warmers, tube tops, big hair bands, etc etc etc. Oh how I miss the 80s....

I read this in the Nov/Dec 2010 issue of Zymurgy in the "Dear Professor" section on p. 12.

It's Christmas day. Woke up at 6am, fired up the smoker and threw on a big pork shoulder for some pulled pork tonight. I put on a wild dry rub from TexasBBQRub.com yesterday and I'll be making a red sauce to go with it.

If there's anyone in the Phoenix area that has nothing else to do this Sat. the 20th, I will be brewing for the first time at my new place in Chandler. I enjoy the company of other homebrewers on brewdays and would be happy to have you guys come over & hangout. I should have a wheat beer on...

Oct. 15th, 2010 http://www.goldennugget.com/specials/eblasts/BeerFest2010LP.html Close to Phoenix. I might consider a drive over.

I've been house hunting here in Arizona for the past few weeks and we've found a perfect house for us except for one thing. The current owners smoke in the house and the entire thing reaks of cigarette smoke. If the house wasn't perfect for us I'd easily move on, but there's so much I love...

and there were only 6 new posts. I've never seen that few new posts since the feature came online. Well as a true HBT patriot I of course felt obligated to opine on each & every one of them.

My family just moved back to the Phoenix area last week and we're planning on having a "welcome back to AZ" supper get together at an Italian restaurant in the Tempe area this Sat. July 10th. Would any of the HBT crowd like to meet the Soperbrew and his family this Saturday? Especially...

Hello everyone. I have been a homebrewer for over 2 years now and have recently moved all of my homebrew, equipment, and ingredients to Chandler, Arizona. It's all sitting in a Uhaul outside my hotel room right now.
