Howdy guys, tis been a while. I took a break from homebrewing while finishing up school and moving about from Oregon to Germany, Germany to Oregon, Oregon to Washington, Washington to Oregon, and now settling somewhat here in New Mexico for now. It's time to get the hands back into the grain...

So I have about one month left here in Germany and have been going around sampling a good share of brews like any man should and have come to a rather disturbing conclusion: I think America has better beer. Yes. That's right. I dared to say it, but frankly speaking, I think I can say that...

Quick story; I've been dating one of my best friends for the last 2 years, real serious relationship although we had some rough spots...after my visit with her down in Arizona I headed out here to Germany for studies and get a memo a few days ago pretty much saying we're toast and need to stop...

So I've passed on all my brewing gear onto my friend so he can continue the brewery while I am away. I head tomorrow evening for a week in Arizona visiting my best friend/girlfriend and then I fly out for 6 months in Germany. I know I know, terrible beer and all, but I think i can manage...

So i've been playing harmonica for the last couple a months, figured out how to bend notes and stuff pretty easily and really enjoy the instrument. I am looking to upgrade though from my 5$ little guy to something more substantial and with more bending potential. Thus far i am really...

So i parked my car last night at about 11:00 PM on the street, about 2 from them exit of the alley that runs behind my house. I wake up this morning to my cars rear quarter having a big ol' dent and a broken tail-light without a note. This will probably cost me 500-750$ since i don't have full...

So last night on a whim i decided to brew. Yes, making a coffee stout at midnight, always a good choice. So my buddies and i ran to the store to get some beers to drink whilst brewing and bought a 6 of Buffalo Bills Pumpkin Ale, New Belgiums 2 Below, and Pete's Wicked Cream Ale. What crap...

But as i sit here writing a paper for my grad philosophy class on Socratic wisdom (yeah, that's right, i'm getting learned) i realized that when i grabbed and drank my warm PBR that it tasted better than my freshly opened cool one. YES, THAT'S RIGHT. WARM PBR TASTE BETTER THAN COLD. SHOOT ME...

Alright, i've had enough!!!! Comcast is too damn expensive and the service sucks! So, i'm wondering if anyone has any experience with either qwest, at&t, or verizon DSL? What speeds should i pay for and how much of a difference does it make. There are some deals where i can get 1.5 Mbps for...

Alright so i made some cider. I used Wyeast bavarian hefeweizen and 2 lbs orange blossom honey. It's aged quite a while and now it is rather tart, is there a way to get rid of some of this tartness before i go to bottle in which i plan on carbing? Thanks

Ok ok, so i watched this video of these students who took dry ice and placed it in a fifth of vodka and inhaled the alcohol vapors. Since the vapors would enter your bloodstream much faster than drinking it, it was a quicker drunk with less fluid. My one problem with this is that the vapor was...

I'm new to making mead, but today i caught a lunker of steelhead and traded it to a honey harvester near the river for 15lbs of wildflower honey. :mug: So, i looked up mead recipes on gotmead and decided to give this one a try: 12 lbs Wildflower Honey 2 lbs blueberries 2 tspn gypsum or...

First the bad. I put this is the general techniques section because i think it has more to do with technique than anything else. My beer in the last 4 months have stunk! I mean, pretty bad, not completely undrinkable but definitely not my normal goodness. I'm getting some really flavors: Pretty...

I was looking through the recipe database and couldn't find a smooth and lightly bittered APA that is extract + steeping grains. I was wondering if anyone has a good one, i need something for summer, it is getting rather warm. Thanks

I'm part of the club now!!! My nextdoor neighbor had a 1990 Jeep Cherokee 4DR 4x4 that wasn't holding a charge, somewhat beatup and had the stereo stolen. He said if i fixed it i could have it. I replaced the battery terminals, and wha-bam, fixed! So now i have a 4.0L jeep! Whoop! Great...

Hey guys, I've never ordered any of the kits from AHS but since my brewstore doesn't carry the yeast i want, i was going to order a kit. Then i can across this Crisp Rye Ale kit and it got me curious. I've never tried a Rye beer before and was wondering if anyone has used this kit before or made...

...You woke up the next day fully clothed in your bed with money thrown on top of you? Umm yeah. I did two batches this past week and needed to make some bottles usable...so we had to empty them the old fashioned way. I called up a bunch of buddies and their girls and had a small party where...
