I am taking a 2d/3d printing class at the local community college and we learned how to use a vinyl cutter, so I made experimented with a beer label. They turned out pretty good. Pic of the vector file: :mug:

Found this little box online. Now it lives in the living room. Info said it is from the 1920's during prohibition, but there is no date on the box. The box was unfolded and unused. Regardless of whether or not it is actually an original or is a reproduction, it sure is neat! They seem to pop up...

I came across this in a thrift store today...I couldn't resist buying it and sharing it here. The instructions weren't in the box but the details on the side/back describe the recommended process very well. I also couldn't find a date on the box, but those folks sure are dressed all trendy like.

Our records department recently scanned a sewer plan from 1912-1913. A part of the plan includes information on all major industrial users, which included a list of all breweries in the Cincinnati area at the time. I put together the excerpts of the sewer plan that included any information on...

Hops are having quite the adventure...hopefully they will make it here for my President's Day Brew Day. :cross:

Picked up some cherrywood smoked malt from Briess. Anyone use this in a brew yet? If so, waddaya think?

$5 bucks for w-23 or w-34/70 following proper pitching rates, you need two packets that's 10 bucks for dry yeast!

Inspired by the hizzy: :mug:

Made mainly out of leftover scrap in the basement. :cross:

Blend it with another beer right before drinking! I brewed a Bigfoot clone a couple years back. It ended up at about 11-12% using S-05. After bottling it never carbed. It tastes delicious, except that it's not carbed. So I blend it with another brew on hand. In this case, I blended the cellar...

I spread out 10 oz of oatmeal on two cookie sheets at 325F in the oven, and after 10-15 minutes they started getting really brown/almost burning. Toasted oats on the right, untoasted oats on the left. Is this too dark? Am I looking for a deep yellow/light brown color? I'm trying again with...

Hello, creepy old basement door. What's behind you? Ooooh. mmmmmBeer. mmmmmMead. Finally moved into our first house! Found the original door among the pile of old doors in the basement...all I had to do was slap it back up and cover the window....nice and dark. :mug:

Was looking at getting Illustrator...then found Inkscape...pretty freakin' sweet for free. Here's an example how you can spiffy up with vector software: Original using Photoshop Elements (raster) Portions Retooled in Inkscape So yeah, learn how to use Inkscape. Well worth it.

Here's what I got so far, still working on it...enjoy!

So I brewed up this small 3 gallon batch of barleywine, pitched her on a yeast cake of London Ale III into a 5 gallon carboy on Tuesday evening. Just put the good ol' airlock on. Fermentation started real quick, was bubbling within a few hours. Wednesday morning, bubbling like crazy, but...

It's cold outside, so a 3 gallon batch of barleywine on the stove top sounds like a good idea. Whenever I try a partial mash with the mesh bags and colander I have, I just make a huge sticky mesh...so I need a tiny lauter tun instead... So what to use? Ah, I've got an old Two Hearted Ale Mini...

Not my original idea, but this is a simple mod to add a racking cane to your aeration kit. I have AHS's aeration kit, and the tubing always stays curled up and I can never seem to get the aeration stone more than a few inches into the wort. By adding a racking cane, you can easily get the...
