So Boulevard is doing this cool promotion for Craft Beer week where you enter a drawing to be able to pick up 5 gallons of wort from the brewery to ferment as you see fit and then bring some back for a contest later this summer. I was lucky enough to be picked. If you win you get to come back...

This may have been suggested before but I thought I'd post anyway just because it's such a great idea. I recently bought a pump and was turning it on and off by plugging it in and unplugging it. That obviously is a pain in the arse so I was going to build a pump stand with an outlet and...

Yes I did a search and this is more of a curiosity question than anything. I kegged a pale ale 2 weeks ago and it took the full two weeks to be properly carbed up. I kegged an IPA last week (6 days ago to be exact) and it is fully carbed already. Both are hooked up to the same regulator set...

The only place I can find them is on Amazon with $8 shipping. I only need an ounce or 2. I have a variety of hops in my freezer that are un opened in their vacuum bags. Would someone be willing to trade an oz or two or do you know of another source for some lemony goodness? I have; Citra...

Sitting in one right now. Do they brew in house at each restaurant or is the equipment just for show. Their IPA is decent but nothing to get excited about. I was just curious looking at the 5 fern tanks I am sitting near.

I have a stout that have kegged with priming sugar about 10 days ago. Since then I bought 4 way distributor from Keg Cowboy and have the ability to hook this keg up to the gas now. :mug: Is there any negatives to doing this? Either way I am going to let it sit at least another 2 weeks to...

I got a little bonus at work and after I put some in the 401K and the kids college fund I am going to treat myself to a new brewing toy and have it narrowed down to a grain mill or a plate stirrer. What say you fellow brew geeks?

I have brewed 4 batches in the last 2 weeks and have ingredients for 2 more on the way. I also just added the 10th recipe to my "future brew" list in Beer Smith. If I start storing beer in the kids rooms do you think SWMBO will get mad?

I can't find any. Does anyone know where I can get some?

I have the hangover to prove it. Had the boys over to watch basketball and play poker and we killed a keg of of pale ale and 3/4 of a keg of IPA. I need to brew. :drunk:

Maybe I am a moron (or just a little drunk) but I have searched for some step by step plans for an electric boil kettle. I would like to have a 220 set up but I don't even know where to start. Can someone give me a link to at least point me in the right direction?

Do you need to put 5000 packing peanuts in the box with my bags of grain? Is the grain going to break? I recieved a shipment today that consisted of a 6.5 gallon bucket and 25,000 peanuts. I have bags and bags of packing peanuts in my basement. Stop the insanity! Rant over. :p Carry on...

I am very careful about sanitation. But after spending the week driving around MO for work and listening to pretty much every episode of Brewstrong on podcast Jamil has me worried that I am not careful enough. Jamil makes it sound like that one little tiny speck of dust in your beer after...

...because I suggested we take romantic trip to Sonoma wine country. She then mentioned to me in passing that it might be fun for me to stop by Russian River and Langunita's. Our hotel (which she booked) is 1 block from Bear Republic! :ban: I think she might be the one who is awesome! :rockin:

What's the deal with the Perlick faucets? Are they that much better than a standard faucet? If so why? I did a search and couldn't find any threads.

I just picked up a pre cut keggle from a guy that cut the top of with a plasma cutter but I guess he didn't use water and the slag is stuck to the bottom. What is the best tool to grind this out of there? I got a really good deal on this thing so I am willing to do a little more work. A...

I have a Hefe that has been in primary for 2 weeks and has been at the same FG for 5 days. I would like to serve this beer at our Super Bowl party but had a question about how I should let it condition. A. Leave it in primary until the Friday before the game and then keg and force carb it...

I was brewing up a batch of Amber Ale today and since I had a bucket of Starsan mixed up I decided to take a gravity reading of the Hefe I have going in the other fermenting vessel. I then of course had to drink said sample. :rockin: It was beer!!! Tasted good, had a good mouth feel and...

Hey all, been lurking for a while but have learned a ton! I haven't brewed yet but am picking up my equipment from a guy I know from an aviation forum this Saturday. I may be getting all of his equipment including an AG set up, and some corney kegs. I will do some extract brews first and work...
