    Runners and other athletes

    Recently tried starsan on tech fabric and it gets the stink out. Half strength, hour soak. No stink. I was at one time an athlete, became a father and home brewer and got rather sedentary. I had a bunch of tech fabric shirts and shorts left from those times. I recently started running and...

    Maybe I am just a dick...

    But, is it just me or any time someone posts a response to a recipe thread and says "ooooh, this sounds so good. I'm going to brew this except [insert fundamental change here] such as adding a lb or two of random grain, or swapping a completely different kind of hop or dry hopping for that...

    My new Brutus 10 clone

    Heads up folks, this one will be slow goings for a bit. I have three kids and not enough money so I am trying to do things on the cheap. I was in charge of a lean/5S project at work that required some tooling racks and a computer work station that would be both ergonomic and give the knuckle...

    Anything I have to check out here? Seems fairly typical suburbs. Stopped at Bells on the way up.

    Question on milk stout

    I have what I believe to be a really solid oatmeal stout recipe. Everyone who has tried it has liked it a lot. Would it then be feasible to just add lactose and POOF! it will be a solid milk stout? Or do adjustments generally have to be made? Recipe is as follows 7.5 lbs Pale malt 1 lb...

    Am I doing something wrong?

    I have been brewing for about a year and a half, and the last year or so doing all grain. I keep hearing/reading lots of extract and PM folks talk about how much work they think AG is and how much longer it takes than extract. Granted, it IS a little bit more work, and a little more time; but...

    Freezing for sanitation?

    Many of you may have seen the commercial for what i think may be gap jeans or some other fashionable crap that I don't wear, but the guy is talking about washing jeans taking the color out. He "likes to put them in a bag and freeze them. It kills the germs and keeps the color" or something to...

    PM "extra" IIPA

    After finding and trying Lagunitas Hop Stoopid, I loved it, but wanted something even hoppier. And just a touch different. I also am a HUGE fan of the the SN Torpedo, which they have dubbed an "extra" ipa. I thought about hops to use and this and that and decided I wanted something a bit...

    To my fellow St Louisans

    Anyone a machinist or know machinists and know of any place hiring? For REAL machinists? I have been looking around for a bit and finding nothing of note. Mostly just operator jobs, and double f*** that. Not looking for a word to the boss for me, just a few leads. Thanks folks. :cheers:

    How to celebrate 20000 gallons of apfelwein?

    Its getting close, and I am sure it's already been done. But when this post https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f25/how-many-gallons-edworts-apfelwein-have-been-made-20383/[/URL] hits 20k, it seems like something should be done. Or maybe just drink/brew more apfelwein :ban:

    Hops for St Louis region?

    Any suggestions for hops that will do reasonably well in the central midwest? It stays pretty muggy most of the time in St Louis during the summer, and doesn't really cool off much at night. We do have the occasional nice day from time to time, but usually just hot and humid :drunk:. I am...

    Home made immersion coil chiller... thoughts?

    Please forgive the long winded thought process, but here goes. :o I am definitely new to brewing but in doing all the research I can about equipment and the process, I have obviously come across the coil chillers that are widely available. It occurred to me that they are just a coil of copper...

    Newbie from St Louie

    Hello all. Just got in to brewing with a batch of persimmon wine and its gonna take a good while. Figured i drink a lot more beer than wine (and it doesn't take NEAR the time) so i should give it a go. I will ask in advance for all of your forgiveness for run-on sentences and the occasional...
