    How do you empty your mash tun?

    I have a keggle and save the grains for some chickens, but it seems like the most time consuming task during brew day. I've used a shop vac and had a serious mold problem in the vac...

    What's the best and worst beer you ever made to date?

    We all have one. BEST: a heady topper clone that I swear was so good--and so short lived!! WORST: a dogfish head 90 clone that just tastes thin, and way too sweet.

    Beer Crook

    So, I have a great friend who is a plumber. He loves craft beer, and Homebrew. We kinda made a deal that he would do some plumbing work for me for some Homebrew. So this is how we stand: I gave him a 10 gallon cooler with a false bottom and brewed 2 different 10 gallon batches that he got...
