I made this yesterday and figure that it belongs here, as a food and drink that pairs with itself. :fro:

Hello all, I have a Vulcan model GS-40 propane fired steam jacketed kettle for sale. The kettle is a 40 gallon with self contained propane burners and electric temp control. Included with the kettle is the lid, a mash paddle attachment, a variety of dump valves, an extra gas regulator, a new...

So.....last October I kegged some fresh apple cider (not fermented) for the non drinkers at a BBQ. It was 5 gallons of unpasteurized apple cider (the fresh squeezed stuff that shows up in 1 gallon jugs around fall), a couple sliced up oranges, and a few cinnamon sticks. It was good, and the...

Today marks the one year anniversary from when I begin construction on my homemade smoker. She is a vertical offset wood smoker built from two 55 gallon drums and a cast iron stove kit. The design was based upon Mike Sell's "Big Smokey." I call her the Green Demon. As a homage to all of the...

I sourced a new kettle through an old coworker this week. He happened to have a 40 gallon steam jacketed kettle that he'd planned to use for candle making but it fell through. I was able to buy it for $400 including delivery. The kettle is a Vulcan-Hart model GS-40. It's 304 stainless steel...

Allow me to lay upon you a cautionary tale, such as it is. You may mark the passage of this truly hateful day as the one on which I've been smitten terribly by the beer gods for the sin of sloth, or perhaps just out of inebriated mischievous glee. You might recall the seemingly boundless ocean...

Having discovered that I'm fortunate enough to have a winter farmer's market in Seattle, I've tried my hand at another one of my favorite fermented foods:

So I scored a 100 lb LP cylinder for free and got it recerted for free and filled for 2.25/gal. My dilemma is that the tank has an old style connector (not the new acme threads) and I need to mate it to my burner's regulator. I found a product that looks like it will do the trick here...

This is the first IIPA that I've designed and I'm looking for all the feedback that you guys can give me. I've even considering tossing an ounce of oak chips into the secondary just to spite style guidelines. What do you think? Wooden Indian IIPA A ProMash Recipe Report BJCP Style and...

Today, while riding my bicycle from my home to the local trailhead for my weekly training, I came to the unfortunate realization that most drivers seem to have some misconceptions about how roads are supposed to work. Before trying to get my attention by hanging out the window of your lifted...

I recently got a free keg that I'm working on turning into a fermentor, but I'd like to figure out what style of keg it is first. It is from the old Olympia brewery. It is cask shaped with a bung in the side half way down. No valve at the bottom, but an unfamilar connector on top. It's...

I've been talking to a long time brewer about adding fruit to beer. He said that he's tried adding it to the primary, secondary, and even to the keg and liked the results of adding it to the keg the best. He just uses a strainer bag and plops it right in and racks on top. I've been mulling...

The disposable type that work with the aeration kits. For some reason my local hardware store does not carry these. I realize they'd have to be shipped ground, but can you get a case of them online anywhere? :confused: Nate

So, it has come to pass that my good brew buddy is joining the ranks of those whose beer making is mitigated by the addition of a SWMBO. I want to brew him an honestly disgusting beer in honor of the occasion, as well as have something on hand for a little bit of good old fashioned bachelor...
