    Who has something worth celebrating?

    Sooooooo... I was playing some Halo tonight, and while I was beating down the Red Team with the hammer, I was wondering what I had to celebrate about. Well, my 4 year old is 18 days past the deadline to start school, but she is getting in to kindegarten:ban:! No more ****ing child care...

    Getting a dog

    So, I got permission from the Lord of my Land to own a dog. I'm hoping, if I can realistically do it, getting one at the beginning of summer. Up here, that is June. The only stipulation was that I kennel train it, which I was planning to do anyways. I'm looking for three things in a dog...

    10 Important lessons learned (so far)

    So, I've only brewed five batches. I'm still a beginner. There are several things that I have learned since I started this process. First, RDWHAHB. Second, have some patience (my first batch was a hef, and the last bottle was awesome). Third, LISTEN! Fourth, take good notes. Fifth, your fifth...

    How long for a Counterflow Chiller

    Counterflow Chiller? I can make 20' of cfc for about 70 bones, but is 20' long enough? How long is your CFC? They all look 20-25' in the pictures, right?

    How much tubing for CFC?

    So, I'm going to make a counterflow chiller, but I'm not sure how much tubing to use. I figured I could make a 20' long chiller with 3/8 copper tubing and 5/8 hose for about $70. Is this long enough, or do you think I should make it longer?

    I find myself...

    Reading about beer a lot more these days. I'm waiting for my second batch to condition, a pale, while my amber percolates. My third is going to be EdWort's apfelwein, tomorrow's after-work project. And I'm enjoying DFH's India Brown. Waiting. And waiting. My first beer was a hefe, but I drank it...

    Total noob question

    In the awesome apfelwein thread, "EdWort says, “Most ciders are a bit sweeter. Ciders and Apfelwein are about 6% abv, but I like the little boost I give it with 2 pounds of Dextrose. It adds no body or flavor and still tastes like Possmann's Apfelwein, only it will kick your butt much quicker."...

    Whats up from Alaska

    Hello people. I just started home brewing not too long ago, in fact, I just bottled my second batch tonight. Being brand new, I'm sure to have a ton of questions, and I want to thank everyone before hand.
