So for my 40th birthday, I'm heading to Europe for two weeks in late September. We're going to start in Paris, make our way to Germany and eventually end up in Venice, Italy. This is a major liver damage trip. We've got hotel reservations already in Munich and will be going to Oktoberfest on...

I saw a release that Bells is sending s bunch of beer to Colorado here soon. Beyond Two Hearted, what would you recommended?

We're moving into a new build home the end of this year and I have some serious home theater purchasing to do. I've had crap HTIB systems for way too long and with the new house comes new gear. I have a 60" Vizio tv that will be going with us. Here's the key wants: First and foremost...

I'm heading to Green Bay and then Madison late August for some family stuff and must make a few stops for beer along the way. I'm heading to New Glarus but I'm looking for other suggestions in those two areas if you have them. Thanks!

Right? 20 min in to my boil right now in my driveway and a rain shower is going overhead. I guess I'll throw the lid on a bit and see what happens? Gotta love Colorado weather...

I'm heading to some friends house this weekend and we typically drink a lot when we get together. Bourbon, vodka and red wine are the usual suspects. However, I'm a beer guy first and foremost and since I'm in charge of dessert, I'm bringing the booze to serve with it too. I'm making a...

I tried a sample of a saison I brewed last night that is kegged. It had a fairly strong sulfur aroma and a slight sulfur taste but it was hard to tell if it was funk from the saison. I brewed this batch on 9/28, had two weeks in the fermenter and kegged it this past Sunday 10/13. I'm thinking...

I've got a Johnson Controls A19aat that is brand new and has never been used. I bought it probably three years ago to build a keezer and ended up building a kegerator instead and the temp control isn't needed now. These are $51 at Amazon. I'll give mine away for $30 plus $6 shipping. I can...

I'm the epitome of a lazy brewer. After sifting through countless threads on here for BIAB and no-chill brewing, I pieced together a plan to brew 3 gallon BIAB batches on my stovetop, no-chill overnight in my basement and pitch the next day. With a 3 year old and a 4 year old, taking 6-7 hours...

I've brewed in California basically at sea level and now living at 6200ft south of Denver, I wonder if there are any adjustments I should make to accommodate the altitude? I'm a BIAB brewer that does 3 gallons batches.

I love to brew but having a wife, two kids playing sports, a job with a decent commute and a side business kinda gets in the way of my brewing hobby. I've been an extract brewer for about five years and have made some good beers and some okay ones. I want to make better beers so I am making a...

I stupidly forgot to put a few ounces of pellet hops I bought yesterday in the fridge. They were in the garage and sitting out for about 24 hrs. The temps ranged from about 40 to 55. I'm planning on brewing Sunday with these but with not being refrigerated, are they ruined? The LBHS is 30...

I saw this Unisar fridge at Target for $50 and was wondering if it might work for a fermentation chamber cooling element? It's tiny plus it heats and cools and with it hooked up to the aquarium temp controller from Ebay, maybe it's a simple solution? Thoughts?

So, my company had our second home brew festival this past weekend and we had four people enter six different beers. We had a citrus wheat, a apricot hop wheat, a pale ale, a hazelnut brown, a double IPA and a wee heavy. We're already planning our next festival and want to do it in the...

I've set up a name and designed up a logo and the first two labels for what I've got bottled up right now. The name, Burning Meadow pays homage to my son and daughter. Aidan means little fiery one and Kendall means large meadow or valley. Since I can't post the images here directly, you'll...

I've been lurking for some time now but time to start taking part! I've been brewing for almost two years now. I've done I think five batches but I'm going to brewing more often now. Next weekend, we're having our second annual homebrew festival at my work and hopefully I'll take first...
