Wanted to share a free design I came up with. This first one is for a friend of mine who is a fan of The Green Lantern. https://www.printables.com/model/650608-green-lantern-tap-handle Printables

Made a desk for my home office out of an old door, bottle caps, and the glass from a storm door. Kinda liking how it came out.

Good Morning I was reading this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/what-did-you-get-from-your-lhbs-today.666509/ It got me thinking about how much extra I would be willing to pay to support a local business. I feel since there is a LHBS within 10 minutes of me I should try...

HI everyone, I came across this today: http://www.ritebrew.com/product-p/841241.htm It's a wide mouth plastic carboy similar to Northern Brewer's. I was wondering if anyone has used this, and what your thoughts were. Thanks!

This weekend I finally had my "I Got It" moment. It's that moment when homebrewing makes sense to you, in a way that is more than just repeating facts or recommending a way to do things because that's the accepted way it is done. It's when homebrewing is more than conversion tables and...

HI Everyone, I made 4 sets of tasting flights out of reclaimed wood. Each set has 4 glasses which hold 5 ounces each. The wood has been given a coat of clear poly. This will be a pick up in Lombard Illinois, zip code 60148, as shipping will be more than what they cost. $12.00 per set.

This is my first brew in our garage. Might not sound like much, but this house didn't have a garage so we had to build one. Finished it last September but life seems to have gotten in the way and I never had a chance to use it. The day went so smoothly with the extra space and 5.5 gallons...

HI all, SWMBO put me to the challenge - make a clone of Leinenkugle Berry Weiss, but less sweet, so it can be more drinkable. I came up with this after a few tries, and I have to say it is one great beer! I have not entered it in any competitions, but I have had a few friends volunteer to...

HI all, Fellow brewers, Gents. Ladies, Friends, Romans, Countrymen..... I bought a new dry yeast online that I wanted to try out, Mangrove Jacks M03 Newcastle Dark Ale Dry Yeast - 10g. In my ignorance, I only bought one pack and the brew I am making is a 1.080 Stout which should...

I have a 5 gallon mash tun for sale. I have used it twice and each time it held temperatures for an hour with only one degree of heat loss. It is the standard round Igloo/Home Depot 5 gallon cooler and I have fit it with lead free brass fittings and ball valve, and a stainless steel screen...

Hi all, I am moving from extract/partial mash to all grain, but I am doing it on a budget. With that in mind I have to be careful what I am spending, as SWMBO is keeping an eye on me :) A friend of mine who has been doing all grain for a few years warned me that 40 quart is the size he...

Hi all, I know that mash paddles are not expensive for basic ones, but I am trying to go all grain on a budget. I made this one in an afternoon and the total cost was $5.48 This is the blank of maple I bought at the local lumber yard. [/URL][/IMG] It was 36" long, 3/4" thick, and 5"...

Hi all. I am currently making a lager and will be adding fresh raspberries and blackberries to it. Should I perform the diacetyl (pardon my spelling ) rest before I add the fruit, or add the fruit, ferment the sugars, and then perform the diacetyl rest? Thanks for your help!

Hi all, I am sure a lot of you know this already, but I just learned this today and thought I would pass this on. I get my ingredients from Brew and Grow, if there is one in your area, you may want to know that they give a 10% discount on ingredients and extract kits to AHA members...

Hi all, Working on a coffee stout today and I am going to add 4 ounces of organic cacao nibs during secondary. I want to avoid infection so I am going to soak them in either vodka (barely adds any flavor) or bourbon (might add a nice taste but I am not sure) Do any of you have an...

Hi all, I have three questions on milling grains at home as opposed to buying ones pre crushed/milled. 1) the grain shell just needs to be cracked open, as opposed to actually grinding the grains - is this correct? 2) i see people list their 'efficiency' in ranges from 60% to 90% how do...
