Those of you who know me around this forum know that I just got home from a long deployment. What you may not have known was that I had three brews (an ordinary bitter, an APA, and EW's Apfelwein) sitting in primary when I left. I know, it wasn't my first choice, but life got in the way and I...

Sadly, I'm not drunk, but I'm damn sure going to ramble. So I deployed for six months. Not a huge deal by itself, but this deployment seriously sucked. I won't get into all of the details here, but it was pretty craptastic. Things with the wife weren't exactly tip-top when I left, but the...

You last visited: 07-12-2009 at 11:51 PM Man, has it been six months already? I never really intended for this forum to take a back seat, but life got crazy in a big way. For those of you who remember me, sorry about my sudden departure. To the newer folks around here, I look forward to...

Alright, I know there's several of us on here. What systems made you the pro you are today? NES, SNES, Gameboy, Nintendo DS, Virtual Boy, Nintendo 64, Nintendo Gamecube, Wii, Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcast (skipped the Saturn and the Sega CD), Atari 2600 (which I bought way too late off eBay)...

If anyone hasn't seen this video yet, I present to you... What if beer was legal tender? YouTube - Legal Tender Song

It seems the thread this topic came from has been deleted. Long story short: ElGuapo posted recently that he had aquired some custom beer coozies (or koozies) and had about 20 extra that he wanted to donate to HBT folks. I was reluctant, but I gave it a shot. Not even a week later, I got a...

Howdy folks. I'm looking to accumulate some knowledge about Banjo and Hurricane burners. I've not used either, but I need to put some info together so I can compile a list of pros and cons to both. This info will be compiled, formatted, and added to the...

So I know the dog thing has been beaten to death, but there is a new threat out there. Apparently hops, in the right mixture (barley, water and yeast), can be dangerous to cats as well. Evidence: Side effects can include nausea, loss of consciousness (more so than usual...

MOD Edit: PM a MOD with your fully written content if you want to add to this thread. just thought I'd take the time to clear up a few common newbie issues about which product is better. Just so we're clear, for 99% of these issues, both options work equally well. It's usually just a matter of...

Hello out there. I'm just looking to see how many other brewers there are in South Dakota. Apparently there was a homebrew club out in the Rapid City area, but it disbanded a few years back. If you're in South Dakota, and interested, please PM me. Hopefully we can get enough interest going to...

Sometime this summer, I'll be leaving for Iraq for 6 months or so. Not my choice, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Because of this, I figure I'll have a nice little experiment. I plan on brewing 6 different recipes, and brewing each of these twice. One of which I will drink, sample, and...

So I promised my boss I'd clone him some Fat Tire when he found out I homebrew. He loves the stuff, and has to drive all the way to Wyoming to get it. For some reason, they just don't sell it here in South Dakota. I'm just wondering if anyone here has had a good experience with the Austin or...

I've got an IPA in primary right now, and I need to rack it to secondary because I want to let it sit on some oak chips for a while. I've only ever used a secondary on one other brew before, and by then all the krauzen had died down. So should I: 1. Wait for the krauzen to die down, then rack...

Seriously, it's just so hypnotic. My first two real batches (Hefeweizen in the bucket, EdWort's Apfelwine in the front) bubbling happily away. I just can't pull myself away from watching it! :D So preeeeeetty...

I was just reviewing the fact sheet on my first non-Mr Beer brew, and I realized that I was over my target SG by a longhost. My target SG (so says Midwest Supplies) was 1.049-1.053. Looking back at my notes, I was at 1.062 just before pitching the yeast. I followed the directions to the...

So I ran a few searches for DME, and came up empty. I think we could use some additional search functionality for short acronyms, because searching "DME bottling" is the same as searching "bottling." :off: Anyway! I'm considering using DME in place of corn sugar to bottle my next batch. From...

I have what has often been referred to as a "cast iron stomach." If it's beer, or fairly close, I can drink it. No matter how terrible, skunky, or flavorless a beer is, I simply refuse to pour it out. Don't get me wrong, I don't buy BMC anymore unless funds are really tight. If I'm at a...

No questions, just thought I'd share my excitement with you nice folks. I just bottled my first ever batch of beer. It was just a simple Mr Beer West Coast Pale Ale that came with the Mr Beer kit. The only modification to the recipe was that I used corn sugar at bottling time instead of table...

Ran a few searches (in and out of HBT) and came up with a few websites that might actually ship to me here on the moon. Some people call it South Dakota, but for all intents and purposes, it's the friggin moon. There is maybe one beer/wine store within 75 miles of me, and their selection is...

And a close up of the lid: So I'm looking at this bucket getting ready to throw it away, and it hits me... I could use this for a bait bucket and take it fishing! I'll just let it sit in the garage until the weather warms up and the ice melts. Fast forward a month. It's still freezing...
