All, I'm headed to Tryon, NC next week as my wife competes in the American Eventing Championships (Horse eventing) and was looking to get some information on any local must have beers? Looks like there is a local brewery called Winding Creek and then as you head up towards Asheville there is...

9 gallon Bayou Classic 1036 Kettle with a 1/2" coupler soldered on. Asking $50 + shipping from 20872. Will throw in a 2pc ball valve and threaded nipple for $10 more. As you can see there is some wear on the inside, but nothing that affects the beer! This unit is one of the older models that...

All, I see a lot of great blog posts being greated by the community, but I see some others where I wish they provided more substance. I took the chance to highlight some of the key areas I think makes for a great homebrew blog post. If you are new to homebrew blogging definitely give this a...

Hey everyone! I was tired of waiting for the app to be updated with the 2016 schedule, so I made a printable copy! You can download it over on the blog here: www.todayshomebrew.news Also, I looked but didn't see a thread out there? Who all is going to NHC next week?

Purchased some yellow and brown mustard seeds to give a go at my own beer mustard. Have your made beer mustard before? And if so what style of beer did you use? I have a R.I.S. and dunkel readily available but feel like something hoppy would be more appropriate?

Been noticing some of my maltier beers taste great flat prior to kegging but then pickup noticeable off flavors (diacetyl in one line and a peppery note in the other) weeks after being on tap. One line appears to be fine (I have 3) I typically run some pbw solution through my lines and leave...

Hey All! I am working on a new blog project. I find myself constantly on the search for, and keeping up with, all the homebrew blogs out there. I wanted to keep track of the great articles I was finding and reading. I know that not all of use have the time/dedication to search daily for...

Anyone have either of these blenders and if so what are your thoughts. Wife wants one for Xmas and would probably use it mostly for frozen fruit smoothies, though I am intrigued by the possibility of nut butters.

So I was trying to look at the Water Analysis reports put out by the water companies and see if I could notice any useful trends. Looking for any thoughts on whether these monthly averages could be a good rule of thumb vs the yearly or multiple year averages. (See spreadsheet link) OR is this...

Just saw the email for NB new big mouth modular keg. Anyone know the safety and/or holding pressure of the band clamps? http://www.northernbrewer.com/big-mouth-modular-keg-and-expansion If it works I guess it is kinda cool. With all the big mouth bubbler issues i don't think I'd want to be a...

A lot of us have trouble determinining what yeast to use and I believe part of that is cause there are so many choices! This is why I went about compiling all the yeast data out there into a searchable table. Some of you may have already seen the thread I started in the Fermentation and...

Not mine, but this is really cool product I think. Could be used best for stovetop applications, though there is that one induction burner from china that has knob...hmmm. I feel like this would also be one of the cheaper sous vide options out there. Could be very useful in Brew In a Bag...

Okay all, looking for some feedback! I realized over the past couple of years there have been a number of new yeast labs popping up with offerings to homebrewers. Many of the current resources available online have not been updated to include the new yeast labs, and also seem to be lacking...

Anyone have a good recommendation on garden hose quick disconnects that don't leak? Moving to indoor brewing and trying to minimize unwanted liquid spills.

So I need to add a utility sink to my basement and it will also be used for brewing. I have currently been lugging everything up to the kitchen sink for cleaning (PITA!). I was considering buying the low-end pre rinse from webstauant in the $160 range though I am a little concerned with the...

I was in shock when I found out this kickstarter made 8.7 million especially when at tops the game would cost 4 million to make (and that is a very high estimate COGS)... This thread is to discuss silly/and stupid crowd funding campaigns...I now present you Exploding Kittens...

Been talking about building my brew stand and working on my setup for what seems like WAY TOO long. Finally got around to constructing my brew stand and documenting the build here: Stand at Rest Stand in hypothetical Sparge Mode Hypothetical Boil Mode Hypothetical Siphoning to fermenter...

Hey all! I have decide to start a thread to help notify the HBT community when I have updates for my blog www.shegoguebrew.com. I have been blogging for almost 3 years now and have just recently started to write here from HomeBrewTalk as well. Keep an eye out for my posts on the HomeBrewTalk...

So I have been doing some real thinking - brain hurts :mug: I wonder if adding a pump is going to just be more work/time every brew day. I only do 5-6 gallon batches and I batch sparge via gravity. I was thinking a pump would be useful for whirlpooling and aiding during chilling (don't have to...

Everything I am seeing talks about letting toasted oats hang out in a paper bag for a week or two. Anyone use them the same or next day as they toasted? Was thinking about making an oatmeal stout this weekend so I obviously dont want to wait a few weeks. Any experiences would be appreciated...
