Been a while since I have posted anything. I've always said one of the hardest beers to make is an American Lager. So hard to hide anything, and really....who has time, energy, fermenter capacity, and the will to make one? Well.... I've gotten to that point and thanks to having several Spike...

So, a young man at work has a podcast with his friends. It's basically them reviewing some random beers each week. Now, if your looking for a beer nerd podcast.....this isn't it. They basically know pretty much zilch about craft beer. There is a lot of cussing and well.... adolescent...

For the record, I have no idea why this would be useful..... https://modernthirst.com/home/bourbon-whiskey-mash-bills/

I been having a lot of buyers remorse since I purchased the 20 Gallon SS Brewtech mash tun. Spent a lot of money and was getting terrible efficiency and lots of grain particles being moved over to my kettle. I even followed their advice and purchased and installed a DC voltage pump that...

I never post complaints...but here is one. SS Brewtech's customer service is bull ****. Very ignorant....and proud their crap is made in China. All I wanted was a custom port added and all I got was grief. I'll go with Spike any day. At least the stuff is made here. If you want drop...

This is an IPA I make that my friends have named "The Mind Eraser". I, on the other hand, am boring....and it's label on the keg just says Amarillo IPA. This is one of my standard beers that is always on tap. This is a sleeper. It does not taste like a beer that is over 9%ABV and BMC...

And more importantly....why didn't I know about it. I HATE making starters. Pain in the arse.... http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/brewing/brewing-ingredients/fast-pitch-canned-wort-4-pack Anybody try/use these? :mug:

Scrapple.....mmmmmmm That's it.... :D

Several times a year, sometime in the early morning, a piece of useless liter is so nicely plopped on my front lawn. This yellow bag with it's thick yellow book is nothing but a mild annoyance. Yes, it's a first world problem for me. It always goes straight into the recycling bin without...

What the...... Me thinks Tony Magee, over at Lagunitas has finally lost it. http://www.cnbc.com/id/102341790

Have to say I was really looking forward to this one. Reading the bottle sounds like a dream. But, all I get is an onion aroma and onion taste. Most that try it, say it's "different". It taste like an IPA I brewed a few years ago with some Summit hops that I picked up at the LHBS on a whim...

Going to make 10 gallons of Vienna Lager this Saturday. So, needed a huge starter for the two vials of WLP 838. Sheesh....I think I melted some more paint off of the stove. Can't wait for the SWMBO to get home.......:D

I dunno, color gives a different perspective. In a good way I think.... http://www.businessinsider.com/amazing-american-civil-war-photos-turned-into-glorious-color-2013-10

Am I the only one that doesn't care for the pumpkin everything? No sir...nope....I don't like it. Hell, I was actually looking forward to something from New Belgium for once. I thought the Red Hoptober was pretty good. But Nooooooo, they came out with a pumpkin ale. The Pumpkin Wars are...

I'll probably get flamed for this (a little), but I'm tired of going to brew pubs, ordering their IPA, and it being an "English" IPA. What that says to me is your cheap. That your business is about the money, not the beer. Charge me an extra freaking 50 cents for your IPA if your too cheap to...

News story about a woman who gave birth to premature baby...without knowing she was pregnant. Story is interesting on its own. But make sure you read the comment sections. Pure awesomeness!! :fro: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/new-jersey-woman-birth-front-lawn-article-1.1386015

Funny read.... :mug: I thought I was going to throw up in my mouth when I read the headline. http://deadspin.com/taste-test-why-is-there-a-strawberry-margarita-in-my-l-476836578

InBev, although I abhor your business model. I have to say well done. The law suit against Budweiser is just silly. Of course they water down their beer. It's part of the recipe. Every news article where the beer is tested comes up with in the range of ABV on the label allowed by law. Some...

Ok, I have been wanting to set up a nitrogen tap. I've come across another kegerator, so check that off. On my other 6 taps I have Perlicks. I love how they never get 'stuck' closed with gunk. My question: I want to buy the stainless faucet from Stainless Brewing, do the stout faucets get...
