My husband, Kevin, frequented this website and spoke of the "beer board" often. When I went to the computer today this was the first site that remained open. Yesterday, while at a family friend's cottage, Kevin collapsed next to the pool, and they were unable to bring him back. They tried CPR...

I often thinik about how I can get more of the beers that I like and It occurred to me that I should start my own little boutique distributorship. It would ahve the advantage of being an established company when I finally (read as years away) was able (skill and financially) to start my own...

I made Blind Lemon Lar's "Squeeze my Lemon" Blond Ale about 4 weeks ago for my upcoming block party (this weekend). Rather than just use slices of lemon rind/zest as indicated, I microplaned the 2oz worth. Whoooohooooo is it lemony, think of a beer with a lemonhead candy dropped in...

I have an English IPA recipe that I've been conditioning for a while, I'm almost ready to bring it on line but it just seems something is missing, maybe my palate is singed from the IPA and Hoppy APA that I've been enjoying, but I figured I'd post the poll above with my options, If I dry hop it...

Like the title says. Are there some styles that are more prone to picking these musty flavors than others? Do they show through more prominently in some styles? I've done 2 stouts an Oatmeal in the past and a Dry Irish I have on top now. They both have a similar musty (not wet cardboard...

I frequent about 3 different LHBS in the Chicago area (I know I'm lucky to be out and about for work a lot and it's nice we have a lot of options in Chicago). I grabbed some misc stuff totaling about $35. While he was ringing me up i tried to strike up a conversation with the guy by asking if...

Cuerrently my new keggle does not have a diptube yet and I am leaving about 1.5gal behind. I know it's bad but I goose up the grain bill and hops to make up for it until I have the time to make a decent diptube/hopstopper. However, i think the equipment profile in beer smith is throwing off my...

I've got a KAB4 fairly new, but I'm not real impressed with its performance. It takes me 30min to bring my 5 gal batch full runnings (8 gal) to boil (starting at 160F). I was suspecting the height of the burner and saw a thread here that lists the std height at 4" which is where mine is (see...

I brewed a stout today. All went well during mash and boil. However. My floating thermometer was sanatized and placed into the kettle about half way though the chill. I had to move when i gave it one last stir I heard a crack. I know that i'm an idiot, but do you think the little balls...

So I live in chicago and don't get a lot of Ska Products, but the stuff I had was awesome (their Canned ESB, and their Pinstripe Red Ale), however my last batch was real funky. Astringent, over carbed (it took 10min to pour and the head was 4" from a 12oz bottle in a tall weiss glass) so i...

I'm planning on doing a Hefe (my first) this weekend: 7lbs red wheat 5lbs pils Tettanger at 60min to get to 15IBU Wyeast Bavarian I want it to keep the haziness so my thought was to omit the whirfloc I ususlly add. Anyone have any thoughts on adding or not boil finings to a hefe?

Last night was the second time using my newly created keggle. After the first use I noticed the bottom 3-4" looked like it was blued similar to a gun barrel. Last night I watched it a little closer and the bottom skirt was glowing red. Am I boiling too hot, or is this normal?

I'm no where near as good or accomplished as these guys, but I'll challenge anyone to post a better drum solo... I'l give me props to anyone, but these were my inspirations when i was a wee lad.... YouTube - John Bonham Live - Moby Dick (Part 1) I never really played a kit so the above...

I recently was at the LHBS (I just stop in sometimes for schitz and giggles). I noticed they just started carrying Thomas and Fawcett UK specialty grains. I bought the Crystal II (billed as 62-68L) as a sub for the domestic C60L I had planned for an ESB I'm making soon. However when I got...
