I'm looking for brewers in the Northern Lower Michigan area of Ogemaw, Roscommon, Iosco, Oscoda, Crawford, and Arenac counties looking to start up or join a homebrew club. I'm in Ogemaw county and trying to gage interest in registered AHA club.

Picked 50lbs of Concord grapes from some old vines at my folks place. I've made wine from juice concentrates but never from fruit. What steps do I need to take to get to secondary? Here's what I've got so far. Crush fruit 6lb per gallon, add water to volume and campden, sugar to...

The missus surprised me with the 18.5" Weber Smokey Mountain smoker because she is AWESOME and is tired of me complaining about the Brinkmann and how hard it is to smoke for 8+ hours on. Helps that her favorite is pulled pork... ;) Needless to say, I'll be smoking up quite a bit of food in the...

I always see these treads about great finds on craigslist or garage sales and finally get to post one of my own. Here's my new lagering fridge find in working condition and free. That's a 1/2 bbl keg fermenter and two 5G Better Bottles on the bottom shelf. I can fit another better bottle or...

Budweiser Select 55, 55 calorie lite American Light Lager. Seriously?! How long will it take for some marketing genus to sell 0 calorie beer that is just carbonated water with a yellow food coloring and a touch of hop tea to it?

Since the mindless mumblers of HBT seen to have a "thing" for zombies and the coming zombie apocalypse, I wondered if anyone had noticed "Zombieland," the new movie by Sony Pictures... YouTube - Zombieland - Official Trailer [HD]

So I'm shopping for a head unit for my "new" project car and the last system I installed was more than 10 years ago. I'm sure things have changed and manufactures have shaken up. School me on car stereo Project car is an '88 Chrysler Fifth Avenue. 100k w/ 318 V-8, clean without rust...

Chief Bottlewasher surprised me with a pizza peel for Father's Day. Surprised, because we don't exchange gifts on made up holidays. I use pizza stones but built the pizzas on cheap, thin aluminum cookie sheets and put those on the stones. Had decent browning on the bottom of the pies but no...

Q: Has anyone ever done the Quick Pastrami from Virtual Weber Bullet? I've a 4lb flat in the smoker right now to try it out but was curious if anyone else had done it and what your results where?

My son, 5 yo, is starting to show interest in cooking and helping around in the kitchen so yesterday was a cook together. We smoked 2 racks of untrimmed spare ribs on the ECB. Getting everything setup. Notice the fire extinguisher on picture left. He didn't do anything past help me set...

So I'm doing two full pork loins for Sunday and the current plan is indirect grilling with a rub of black pepper, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Grill until 160° then paint with a BBQ sauce and grill for another 5 - 10 minutes. I don't have access to a smoker so that's out, but does...

Amarillo's on my mind This is a simple IPA that is pleasing for hop heads while still being approachable to new craft brew and homebrew drinkers. Named Amarillo by Morning IPA because of the use of Amarillo hops for flavor/aroma and was brewed under influence of George Strait's Greatest...

Just a quick note. Don't use your wine degasser for the first time in a topped up 5G carboy on high. Start slowly. Wine holds A LOT of CO2 and it comes out quick when you blast that whip in the carboy. And the wine comes out of the carboy quick too. :(

Everyone else is doing it.... why not make a fool out of myself! :) White Dog Aleworks - Mogulus Live Broadcast

I'm comfortable with my process but of course everyone does things differently. Do you Stir your Mash after mash in or do you let it sit until Mash Out?
