Yep. Four houses on my street are cape cods with basements. These four were all built in 1940. All of the others (8) are ranchers, built in 1975 or so. I like having a neighbor whose dad bought the first house on the street in 1940. Also, the basement is the only room in the house that's mine...

Ok. There was my first mistake, I didn't know the sediment was supposed to collect at the bottom. I misunderstood, and thought it was to collect at the top. One thing learned tonight. Temperature is 69 degrees in my basement, although it may vary a few degrees when the dryer is used...

Made my first attempt at anything besides a pure extract kit beer. I attempted Cheesefood's caramel vanilla ale. it involved steeping grain ( I think I did OK, maintained water at 165 the whole time) It alson involved using hop pellets, this went ok, all additions went in on time. Also my first...

We were already planning an addition to our house. The wife's already started calling the ATF room. I already had the layout planned for my gunsafes and reloading benches, now I'm going to have to add more shelves and storage for bottles and stuff. Hmmm, Home Depot has fridges...wonder if the...

My wife hates beer. She's tried just about every type of beer I've ever bought, but she just doesn't like it. The only exception was a strawberry blonde beer I bought in a specialty store a few years ago. I don't remember the brand, but, we haven't seen it since. Now,every time i see a...

Cool. Thank you. I'll try one sometime, I just came home with ingredients for an IPA. My Irish Stout is down in the basement, can't wait until it's aged a little.

Hi everyone. I just bottled my first batch of homebrew, an Irish Stout. I've been wanting to try this for a while, but never had room(I thought). I also thoght it was going to be an expensive hobby, but my kit only cost about a 100 bucks, with ingredients and bottles. I found this forum while...
