Here is a great little video of brewing in 1975. http://movingimage.nls.uk/film/6837

I just read the new Milk Street magazine (Chris Kimball's new cooking mag) and he said Arabic countries put a pod of green cardamom in with the beans and grind it. I have tried it a few times in the past week and it is pretty nice. I use a french press. It adds a soft but noticeable spice note...

Here is a list of good coffees organized by all the countries/areas that currently grow coffee commercially. The names listed below each country were listed as fine coffees in Kenneth Davids Home Coffee Roasting book, and he has descriptions of them in his book. You can certainly add other...

I have a Flanders Red I brewer about 6 years ago. I have a few bottles left and it is still quite tasty. I open a bottle last night that had two little white lumps on top but more oddly it had an oily sheen instead of a head. Still had a nice gentle carbonation. I used the Roeselare Ale...

This is the email I got: Greetings: In only a few weeks the Brewers of South Suburbia will be holding their 21st annual Charlie Orr Memorial Chicago Cup Competition. This is an AHA/BJCP sanctioned competition that is also a qualifier for the 2012 Midwest Homebrewer of the Year. We are...

I know this thread was started a few years ago. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/beer-hunter-movie-188606/ but I thought it would be more descriptive to start a new one. They still need to raise the money for the movie on kickstarter and you can get some pretty cool swag for your...

I'm not trying to sensationalize it but I just thought it would be helpful list for those who are buying apple juice from the store. From other articles, I understand that researchers don't know how it gets in there so fresh pressed apple cider could have the same issues if it is lead/arsenic...

I just got this message from the Chicago Beer Society and thought I would pass it on. "Hello CBS! Goose Island Beer Company will be selling recently emptied bourbon and rye barrels that were previously used for aging BCS and Bramble Rye BCS. The barrel sale is this Saturday (Dec. 3rd.) at...

So I have dabbled a bit with cheese making on and off but I have always wanted to get a bit more serious about it. So I got inspired by this blog Cheesemaking Help, News and Information: The Year of Cheese with Suzanne McMinn and thought with the help of the cheese pros on here and with...

So I have added star anise to both a beer and a soda in the last 2 months. They were recipes out of books so I trusted them. Both of them had anise dominate the flavor. So, is 1 star anise the whole star shaped pod or just one of the little fingers that contains an individual seed...

---from an email blast-- Finch's Beer Co. is helping our fellow home brewers out by giving away our house yeast. It is a pretty standard American Ale yeast strain propagated from our delicious Golden Wing Blonde Ale. If you're a home-brewer and need some yeast for a brew the weekend of...

I don't consider Stella or Jupiter to be Belgian Pilsners, I was thinking specifically about 3 Fonteinen's Beersel Lager as a place to start. Sheldon Brother's (their importer) says" Using the same ingredients as a lambic, he brewed the "Beersel" with organic barley malt, wheat, hops, beet...

I'm not sure where to put this thread so sorry if it is in the wrong forum: I would love to brew all 12 beers of Christmas (listed below) from Radical Brewing but my life doesn't permit that much time. So I was looking for 11 more brewers to brew one of these beers and we could all trade a few...

I want to make a 5 gallon starter for a big beer, and I was wondering which way would make more yeast or would it be the same? A) Pitch a big starter into 5 gallons of beer and let it ferment out B)Pitch a big starter into 1 gallon of beer let it ferment out then add another gallon of wort...

I have a favorite snifter that has a small chip out of the base. How can I grind it smooth or buff it out? I assume some very fine wet sandpaper might do it but how would I polish it smooth? I love the glass but find it annoying every time I use it I have to avoid holding it by that side of...

I have been reading the threads on yeast washing and yeast freezing and wondered if this is possible with bugfarms that are full of different critters? If I freeze them in small amounts or wash and store them in the fridge in larger amount will all the different types of critters survive...
