    Anyone know anything about this city and surrounding areas? A nice place to live? I might have the opportunity to move and do some work with a contract in the area. Currently we live in L.A. but interested in moving somewhere more rural and to a slower pace of life.

    Earn Stella Artois Chalices - Dish Network

    I came across this earlier in the week. I did a search just now and could not find any other threads on this. Basically on channel 99 of Dish Network, it has a special interactive Stella Promo. You have to watch a short video about the perfect way of pouring a Stella. I guess there is a...

    Storing stainless steel pots outside?

    I have my brew stand outside on my patio under a tarp all year round. I was wondering in order to save some valuable storage space inside, would anyone see any potential problems to keeping my stainless steel pots also outside on the stand under a tarp? I live in a warm climate with little rain.

    Urghh... stout faucet error

    So my new kegerator is built. I was planning on going with 3 standard faucets and a stout faucet. Problem is the holes were drilled for the shanks on the Irish coffin and it is not high enough.

    After 2 days my starter with this special edition yeast looks like this. I presume it is krausen. It rises to the top and then falls back into the wort right? I was thinking of putting in the fridge tonight and taking out tomorrow morning, so that I can brew tomorrow.
