Just became aware of this today, anyone tried it? https://gambrinusmalting.com/gambrinus-ipa-malt/

My wife is gone, my girl is gone, my books are loaned, my clothes are worn, I gave away a car; and all that happened years ago. Mind & matter, love & space are frail as foam on beer. —Gary Snyder Please add some more…. :mug:

High gravity brewing in Tulsa is closed for good. In addition to supplies, they also had a small brewery and a winery and they produced The Wort Hog electric brewing systems. Just another example that the homebrewing hobby is still shrinking I suppose. :tank:

Just noticed in my email, N. Brewer now has White Labs dry Cal Ale yeast, but it’s $12. If you were in sales, what would you say to a brewer to persuade them to spend more for this yeast compared to all the other dry yeast choices out there. I used to use all WL liquid yeast, but the cost has...

Tried this for the first time, would like to brew something similar.

When I first got into cider making, I hunted down all the orchards within a half days drive, looking for heirloom varieties that would make a hard cider better than the usual eating apples everyone grows. Then, close to home, a very large orchard started selling Ashmead’s Kernal Apples. I used...

From time to time I see old Picobrew appliances for sale cheap. There are online resources about setting up your own server using a rasberryPi device and writing some code, but I'm thinking of going more low rent and just installing electrical switches to turn it into a manually operated...

ABInbev was offering $15 rebates, so I took 'em up on it and ended up with two 18 packs for $3.50 after rebate. Bud Light is kinda tasteless but I've found some great ciders that should blend with the Bud very nicely...

So after many years away, I returned to the Homebrew network podcasts and found Jamil is still there and on a recent podcast he was discussing Gale's Prize Old Ale. Invert #1 or #3 is used, and I decided to hunt around and find if there was anything new about using invert sugar vs/other...

Since COVID, I've been swamped with work and my brewing time has been reduced but I have more money to spend. I've also been trying to cut back on drinking and carbs for health reasons, so a few weeks ago, I bought a 24 pack of 16oz Miller lite and was some what shocked at the $33 out the door...

So every year I have to clean up masses of black walnuts in my yard, and I've always wondered what they could be used for. Years ago I tried eating some and the walnut meat is very difficult to get out and is very bitter. So then I came across a beverage called Nocino and am including the link...

The Queen had passed to a better place, but we're stuck here, so perhaps we should brew the Queen's Best Bitter and IPA and enjoy life while we can! The two beers were brewed under contract at local commercial brewery and sold in the gift shop of one of the Royal estates. The best bitter is 4.3%...

I'm super busy in the summertime and have little time or energy for a full brewday, and sometimes turn to extract to get a fresh beer done. So here comes Dr. Hans with a brew in a keg extract method: I guess you could call it BIAK..... -Add DME to (sanitized) keg -Add boiling water put lid on...

Turns out the creator didn't even drink beer. Interesting read; for homebrewers trying to cut some calories, using enzymes is a technique taken for granted, but the process apparently didn't exist until the 1960's: Joseph Owades created light beer, forever changing the way America drinks

Having morning coffee and surfing the internet, I came across this: 15. Cock ale Peter Isotalo We’ve already introduced you to the delights of stuffed sheep’s penis, but cock ale is not another genitalia-based dish. In fact, as the name suggests, it’s a drink. Basically, take some standard...

Since Thanksgiving I've splurged, eating junk, drinking high calorie/high ABV beers and not getting very much exercise. First day of spring is today, so its time to cut back. I've brewed some low-cal/low-carb/low ABV beers before, but most I didn't really like that much. I know, if I want...

Its driving distance for me this year, but with the registration fee, hotel, parking, food, its likely going to be at least $1000 or more if I stay for 2 nights. I've never been and I'll probably never go, the cost/benefit just doesn't add up for me. I suppose if there was an active local...

As seen on Craigslist have know idea if its still there: https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/zip/d/sterling-free-home-brewing-equipment/7442306607.html

So yesterday I started a brew and I knew in advance I wouldn't have time to finish. I'm doing a 3 gallon BIAB all grain dark mild with 25% oat malt. I mashed with 2 gallons, did a 1 gallon cold water dunk sparge, let in cool in the snow and 20F outside temp then poured it into a carboy to keep...
