The guy just makes these videos as a joke but They are pretty funny at times. Lol, it taste like diabetes!

My fiance has in charged me with buying a good camera, around $500 dollars. Not to big, not to small. What would be a good choice? Cameras and taking pictures in general just are not my thing, and I am tired of researching. Photography is a world as diverse as the brewing world. If you have the...

Every-time I pour myself a pint of home brew I find myself wondering how beer must have tasted for the egyptians, Sumerians, even Europe etc... What would happen if one of those old time brewers showed up in our time and sampled one of our beers, would they be perplexed would they love it, would...

A very good friend of mine opened up an all craft beer store, a month or so ago here in my city. I work there, and have always wanted to do a beer fast. I have read about the other guy who did the fast for 40 days or so, and have always been intrigued by it. We are on day 5 and let me tell you...

I feel bad, the reporter took a bunch of takes with me then asked me to dumb it down! So I said lupulin was pollen, and it aired. Well still some people will hear about home brewing. Growing The Perfect Pint | Fox News

ClaudiusB has this amazing stir plate in his brewery, it is temperature controlled and constantly feeds the yeast batch filtered oxygen. After months of drinking together, he was nice enough to convert a small red bull fridge I had lying around in the garage. Due to my adolescent knowledge of...

My brother in law and I, tasted Mikkeller's "It's Alright" wild ale. We got it out of curiosity and I am interested to see what others think of it. To be honest it smelled the way you would think vomit would taste, and we both thought it tasted the way an infected athletes foot would be like. It...

Got a new job and I am in training (horrible stuff). I am currently going through a power point, but this thing is just so cheesy. Check out some pictures included in the training, I am loosing brain cells here. This guy looks like he is constipated or something. Don’t think it was a...

I was recently asked by two other brewers how to do a decoction mash, while I was explaining it to them they seemed so lost. So I emailed them links to charts and websites that show how to do it and they were even more confused. Since then I began to notice that a lot of new brewers do get...

I am trying to understand what exaclty brewers mean when they say yeast is stressed out. What causes them to be stressed out, and how is it that this happens. In brewing Science and Practice I have found some pretty interesting references and wanted to run them by some more experienced members...

Well actually I will be staying in Downey California which I understand is a suburb of LA. My fiancé and I are going to hang out for a week with her sister and brother in Law. I already planned the trip to go to Stone. Yet there is nothing like local advice, any locals want to recommend some...

I get some of the best laughs from this website. I find myself amused when a thread slowly spirals downhill, and how the different posters play off of each other. What are some of the funniest threads you remember? Off the top of my head these are some. This zombie thread was brilliantly...

Thought you guys would like to see what I did with one of the cuttings from my Chinook. Pretty much wanted to play a joke on the SWMBO, by putting one of the cutting in a wine bottle next to her vase full of roses. However, the damn thing never died and now it has roots! I am going to...

This was drunk between 3 of us, and man did it hit the spot! Well today at work I am severely hung over! But it was worth it. My favorite was the Bourbon County, Altbier, and the Chai Tea one by dog fish (although every beer was special in its own separate way). Prior to this I had only...

I finally had enough of not being able to be in an active brew club. I love brewing, but I cannot afford the equipment or the ingredients to fill up a whiskey barrel, much less buy a barrel! And yesterday I got tired of seeing brew clubs make Stein Bier. While I sat in envy, I realized I can...

So pretty drunk as I write this, so excuse the idiocy of it all. Though I would like to state that I made this beer while still sober, the end result has me really excited. My current rotation of brewing involves, 2 or 3 session beers, and 1 high gravity specialty beer. So today I just decided...

I have a 2 year Willamette crown that is in the ground and did pretty good last year, but I feel it doesn’t like the sun to much here in Texas. I would have to water it 2 times a day for it to not get sad, just not a good fit in my climate. It is well established and grew about 13ft last...

O man! Hideously funny!

I always practice guitar in my garage where I have my fermenters going. I started using my blow off tube as a metronome! hahaha. Pretty f'ing hilarious. well anyways, I go through my scales at a decent rate if it is the first day of fermentation. However I brewed 11 gallons of a belgian triple...

So I am reading "Brewing Science and Practice," I have been reading the chapter on mashing, and was troubled by this part: "Several brewing problem are associated with microbial infections of malts. off flavors may occur and there is always the concern that mycotoxins may be...
