Hi HBT - I've been away about a...er...decade... Good to see you're still here! So I brewed for about 5 years then life happened and I had a hiatus. Now the kid is a decent age and I'm thinking of rocking a few batches. I used to use a cooler for MLT, then 10G full boil on a gas burner...

We are having two brew days in the next few months. Tentatively Aug 2, and Sept 27 at SOB's in Delaware, OH. These days are a little flexible, so let's hear from the gang what works best. Link from first meet: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=59720

http://www.alefest.com/columbus.htm Kind of short notice but I thought I'd share the info for those in the area. About 5 of us are meeting up there at 2:30. SWMBOS may go to Easton. PM me in the next few hours if you want to meet up. Shamelessly plagiarized from the site: Over 150 Craft...

I didn't see a thread for this so I am making one...very...very late. Good news is the beer improved greatly with age! I drank the first 4 bottles of the session ale in April sometime, and I took notes on one of them, but lost that paper... The final bottle of Session as well as the Apfelwein...

I sent a few of you some beer. Some broke and that was unfortunate. Hopefully it was made alright. Among the entries were: an ESB a MH9 clone a random Belgian But, if you got a box you know what is in it, and you have the recipies, and even a BJCP judge sheet to give you some ideas...

Howdy gang, I have been kicking around the idea with a few members of having a get-together brewday for anyone that can come. I have a volunteer (SOB) who will shamelessly donate his house for us to brew. There is lots of space – we could have 10 people brewing at once. No limit on the number...

I have come across what I believe to be an excellent wort chiller from work (cost = free). It is 1/2" SS tubing - part of a heat exchanger not for food duties but looks to fit the bill for homebrewing. You can see from the pics below that the size far dwarfs my current chiller and I hope to...

Hey ever'body, Soon I shall be returning to the flatland of the midwest and am looking to consolidate my brewing equipment. Don't get excited, I won't be selling my AG setup and kegerator on craigslist for $50 or anything... I am curious regarding my gas tanks. Do filling stations buyback...

Hey. In case you haven't figured it out yet, click the text above. Enjoy.

As some of you know, I'm about to actually brew outside with a new burner setup. I did a trial run today with just water so I could learn how to run the burner and dial in the proper air/propane ratios. I have already boiled the pot full of water to condition it twice on my stove, but what the...

Hey ever'body I've got an Al kettle on the way and I seemed to remember something about passivating it so as to make an oxide layer on the interior to prevent leeching of Al flavor. Yum! I seem to remember the action of boiling an acidic solution (other than wort) in the kettle to be a way to...

Which do you prefer? In normal everyday typing on a modern OS of course.

Today I attempted to assemple a son-of-fermentation chiller thingy. I found all me parts including 2 2X8' sheets of extruded polystyrene (XP). So i jam the XP into my hatchback and procede so squeak down the road. I get home, decide I have nothing to cut the **** with. Tramantia kitchen...

I am drinking a pale ale I made in Vermont. I set a few outside to chill (today) and then stuck them in the fridge. The ones set outside for just a few hours are noticably a little bit skunky. They were in Grolsh bottles, which as you know, are green. Just wanted everyone to know that 3...

So tonight marks the night of my first in house AG. On the old stove to boot! I have done some testing and found I *can* boil about 7.5 gallons split into 2 pots and still have room for hotbreak expansion. Also FWH cuts down on this. I began about 7:30 and I'll be lucky to be done by 1am I...
