Hello, all. I have been a passive fan of HBT.com for several years and have watched the site grow impressively. Can anyone answer the following questions (I tried asking the administrators, but they're busy, I suppose): Exactly what is the name of this particular forum / message board...

Hey, I've posted this in the classified section as well, but want to give it a little more visibility. Anyway, here are the specifics: What: Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival Where: Koka Booth Amphitheater When: 9 Aug - NEXT SATURDAY Cost: $30 (Gen Adm at 2 pm) Website...

Me, sadly, mostly from work.

I just ran across this little widget at work: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MX5Y9C/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 I've played around with it a bit with varying results. Specifically, I have no way to really caliberate it. When I zap my hand, for example, it reads 90 degrees. I'd expect...

Just got this from the Koka Booth Amphitheater events staff: What: Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival Where: Koka Booth Amphitheater When: 9 Aug (I'll be home by then!!!) Cost: $40 (VIP); $25 (Gen Adm) - On sale May 23rd Website: http://www.beerandbourbon.com/ I'm leaning heavily on the VIP...

So are there any brewing cooks (or cooking brewers) out there that have accomplished this successfully. I've seen several beer bread recepies that call for beer added as the liquid mixing agent - and I've tried a couple to varing degrees of success - but what about using actual brewers yeast to...

Anyone going to this on the 20th? Amazingly, tix were still a couple of days ago. This one is smaller than Raleigh & Durham, but still one helluva time. Maybe we can do the shuttle act for all of you who live up in the Triangle. Better yet, we could get a few hotel rooms and shuffle up...

So, I'm working with a guy from Nebraska and mention that I brew. He turns to me and asks if I've noticed a rise in the cost of my barley. I'd already heard that the price of corn was on the rise this year b/c of the demand for corn oil for alternative fuels (which explains why a ton of cotton...

Hey all. I've got a co-worker that's looking for a keg - a full 15-gal type - that he can use for weight training (although why you'd want to use a keg for any purpose other than that for which it's intended is beyond me). Obviously it doesn't need to be in any kind of good shape - just...

As we all know, there's bewildering variety when it comes to the grains we use in brewing. First there's the different varieties of barley - 2-row, 6-row, and then the different species; then there's the different levels of roasting said barley - munich, chocolate, patent, crystal, biscuit...

So, what's the difference between these two versions of JD? They're both 80 proof, they're both decent whiskys, and there's nothing on the label to distinguish between the two. Anybody know the story?

So I just bought a US sanke tap b/c I want to start keeping a decent commercial keg on tap around the house. When it arrived, it was a little different than I'd expected. Here's a pic of it: http://morebeer.com/product.html?product_id=16343 My questions: 1) I can see where and how it...

So I put together a straight up 3-lb honey, 1 gal water mead back in October and set it aside in a probably-too-warm part of my kitchen. I used red star pasteur champagne yeast, so I didn't think much about the temp. I racked once about three months ago or more. Now, it's still not clearing...

So I want to add a little rye to my stanard Amber recepie just to get an idea of the flavor that it specifically imparts. Are you supposed to use regulay Rye, or flaked and what's the difference? Thanks, Focus

to follow up my post on "what's everyone brewing on NHD?"... Where's the official HBT.com tally of gallons brewed by HBTers on national homebrew day, 5 May 07? At TwoSpooks Brewing we brewed 6 gal of our Freedom Honey Wheat - .1074 OG... Focus

I want to add my plans to the Official HBT NHD message board Focus

Hey, guys. I'm certainly not looking to jump ship from HBT.com, but does anyone out there know of a site that is the HBT equivalent regarding food. I have learned so much here that I'd like to find the corresponding food site and begin learning about recepies, techniques, spices, game, etc...

I've been kegging for about four months now and have three kegs filled, Porter, Honey Porter, and Oktoberfest. I went to tap them the other weekend for a party and met with disasterous results. Here they are for your entertainment value, commentary, and assistance: Issue #1: Porter kegs not...

Accorind to the DVD instructional manual that Midwest offers, One Step sanitizer can be stored between brew sessions and used over and over again. Does anyone know how long One-step retains it's sanitizing properties after you mix it up? Does any such documentation exist on how long this...

I've got a 15 gal plastic conical fermenter with two stainless steel ball valves for bottling and dumping trub. For the past month or so, it's been sitting around with a chlorox solution in it (just cholorox & water at approx 1/4 cup per 5 gal H2O). Partially to get the residual odor from the...
