I just got my kegging system and instead of buying a CO2 tank there is the Wal-Mart sized store called the Party Source right by my office. I don't know if other stores that sell kegs do this but I think it was a pretty good deal. I got a 5lb CO2 tank for a $40 'deposit' and it is $12 to...

I hit up the LHBS and got ingredients for my a Blonde Ale 8 lbs of 2-Row 2 lbs of Vienna .5 Cara-Munich .5 10L Crystal .5 oz of Galena @ 55 .5 oz of Galena @ 35 .5 oz of Cascade @ 15 .5 oz of Cascade @ 5 2 step infusion at 113 & 152 for 30 minutes and in 50 days we will be...

I personally wouldn't age this beer. I think that it needs to be consumed quickly and in large quantities :). IMO it is much better on tap. For those of you in/near Cincinnati the Cock and Bull English Pub in Glendale and Covington have Hopslam and batch 9000 on tap for $4.50 during HH. @...

Ok so I have a pretty good Doppelweizenbock that I plan on entering into a homebrew competition. My question is that the rules state that you should enter the beer under all the names of the 'brewers' who 'participated' in the beer. Do my two friends who came over to drink and hang out while...

Those are fantastic results and a lot of inspiration. I sort of stopped hitting the gym after college and was enjoying life a bit too much. However, the wedding is 4 months from now so back to the gym I go! The depressing part is no more burger and fries with two homebrews to wash it down...

Granted it has been a while since I have done an anything with extract, but I feel like you are getting hosed on the price. Dry yeast works super well unless you need a specific strain in which case check out how to wash yeast. If you like hoppy beer or plan on brewing a lot, check out getting...

Break out the eye bleach because here it is... I kind of hate myself for posting this. :D

http://www.cincybeerfest.com/Home_Page.php Tickets are only $30 for VIP up till tomorrow. I'll be there along with some of my brewing and non-brewing but beer appreciative buddies. It is at the Hyatt downtown so you can get a room if you don't have a DD. PM if you are interested in...

Just made Sausage Gravy this morning for SWMBO and future-in-laws. 1 lb sausage 2 c milk flour to thicken

I have the $65 dollar one from Ace and it is awesome. Full 6 gal boils in 15 minutes. As a matter of fact I turn the gas down so I don't scorch the wort. If you do go AG and full boils then you should invest in a wort chiller.

I was hesitant to bring it upstairs because it is the biggest beer I have brewed to-date and it is in a 5 gal carboy. Maybe I'll stop at the hardware store before we leave and get tubing to make a blow off tube.

So I have 5 gal of a doppelweizenbock sitting in my basement without any signs of fermentation. OG of 1.07 I brewed on Saturday and pitched a starter that never really took off. It was the last vial of the Wyeast380 Heffeweizen Ale at the LHBS so I am wondering how good it was even though the...

When you see this and your first thought is sweet I could totally use those bottles!!! Second thought, sweet that is a lot of drinking, maybe I'll do it next year. Then you realize that of course you won't because you will get to a point where you need the bottles.

I have to admit that 'when clean' they look pretty sharp. At least our all-black one does. I would prefer something with more power, but whatever I'll use it until it breaks or we re-do the kitchen.

Sorry about your luck. Just bought a house and it has a glass top stove so I had been worried for a few batches. Made the jump to all grain and got a turkey fryer... man that thing boiled 6.5 gal of wort in 15 minutes as opposed to the 1.5 hours 4 gal used to take. As for the fryer, I...

You are a cheap/poor just out of college homebrewer when you serve Bud and BL at your wedding... My justification is that most wouldn't appreciate good beer anyway and I'm providing all the homebrew for the rehearsal dinner so there. :mug:

I freaking love it
