    Ratebeer now partially owned by ABInBev?

    Wasn't sure if anyone posted on this already, but apparently ZX Ventures bought a minority stake of Ratebeer. I'm not a huge user of that site, but a lot of craft beer people are. Dogfish Head has called them out for a conflict of interest and asked for all of their beers to be removed...

    Need Advice on Homebrew Competition

    So, here's my situation. I was planning to enter one of my beers in the NHC competition - I've already paid the $14 entry fee, but I haven't shipped the beer yet. My plan was to send the most recent batch of my Porter. I entered a similar beer a few years ago and it did well. Here's the...

    Michigan Ebay: Chrome plated Beer Faucet Set

    New and unused set of (2) chrome plated beer faucets. Also includes: set of (2) black plastic tap handles with o-rings and a keg faucet wrench. These items came as part of a larger set that I purchased, but did not need. They were only handled to photograph. Ships via USPS Priority Mail...

    Fruit Beer Tart Cherry Cream Ale

    This turned out so good, I had to share. The base is a cream ale (basically my version of the Cream of Three Crops), which I wasn't sure about but worked very well. This is about the cherry flavor with the malt playing a supporting role. Reminds me of Rubeaus but with Cherry. 5.25...

    Interesting cone growth

    My goldings that I just harvested had about 20 cones with some leaves growing out of them. These are third year plants. I did spray the bines with potassium phosphate when I saw signs of possible downy mildew, so maybe that caused the issue? Didn't see this on my Cascade or Zeus, but those are...

    Suggestions on my Citra PA Recipe

    I put the recipe below together - I do a mini-BIAB and 6 lbs of grain is my limit, so it's going to be partial mash. I've got 3 oz of citra so I was trying to spread it out, but I really want the citra flavor to shine - any suggestions from people who've used a lot of citra or done a lot of...

    Ocassional clove taste

    I've got a batch of American Wheat beer (Jamil's recipe in BCS) fermented with Wyeast Kölsch yeast. It's at about 3.5 weeks in the bottle so still young and maybe just green. Anyway out of 6 bottles, two had a definite clove taste to them - the other four didn't. It was good, but wondering if...

    The first brew...

    I made my first batch of homebrew a month ago, bottled it up last week and chilled a bottle last night and finally checked for carbonation tonight. It is from a Midwest kit - Superior Strong Ale. Tastes good for being young, a bit more malty and not quite as hoppy as I expected (though I have...

    Kolsch Yeast

    I ordered one of the AHS Anniversary Kolsch kits with the Wyeast Kolsch activator (on an Ice Pack). But it sat at a warehouse over the weekend, so it'll be about 5 days in transit - I'm concerned about the viability of the yeast. I'm sure that there will be some good yeast - but one pack is...
