    Northern Brewer is having a 48 hour sale on fermenting and bottling buckets. The are buy one get one. It looks like a so-so deal. The sale is buckets only. No lids and no spigots. The pails are $16.99. So you're looking at about $25 plus tax with shipping for 2 pails. Like I said, IMO a...

    1 Gallon Batches

    I was staring at my pipeline the other day, and came to the conclusion that I'm sure many homebrewers come to. I have a bunch of random bottles of various homebrews sitting around. I like variety. I also like a challenge, so I'm not one to make the exact same recipe twice. In fact, since I...

    Black IPA Serving Temp

    I picked up a black IPA today. I've never had this style of beer before. So what would be the optimal serving temp to enjoy it as it was intended? I'm looking at you west coast people....:drunk:

    Adventures in All Grain

    Before you start reading, I warn you this is a long story. However, I decided to share for a couple of reasons: 1) To demonstrate the true wealth of knowledge available on HBT. 2) To show that you can do a whole lot wrong and still have beer. 3) I just felt like sharing – so there! ;)...

    Yeast Washing

    Did my first yeast washing last night using the steps in the sticky in this forum. I was recycling some Wyeast 1056 American Ale. I like it as a good all purpose ale yeast, so I figured I'd give the process a try. I have to say it went pretty well. I was recycling yeast from a wheat beer, so...
