I did stencil the letters...well...my wife did.

Thank you much peoples.

I've been home brewing for about 3+ years and Kegging for 2+, but my kegerator has always a bit of an eyesore. I just recently upgraded to a newer, better fridge, and being the LSU fan I am I made an LSU kegerator with purple chalk board paint. Let me know what you think. (There's really not...

And then my test run: And the final touches:

With two babies to take care of, SWMBO has established a rule, that I'm not allowed to brew beer until everyone is in bed. In my house everyone is generally in bed by 8:00, so that's generally my starting point. I only extract brew (because of said time restraints) and I've been slowly...

LSU Kegerator. Still a little work to do, but pretty much complete. First brew equipment of mine worth showing off.

Touche This was a 5 gallon extract brew. I had three hop additions. Totaling 2 oz of hops. I put the hops in mesh bags so very hop crap was sitting on the bottom of the brew pot. I put in 5 oz of cocoa powder with 5 min left in the boil. I stirred it up until i saw no more chunks or clumps of...

I've read several threads about adding chocolate and as a result, I put 5 oz of cocoa powder in the boil with five minutes left. When I transferred to fermenter I noticed a thick chocolaty sludge at the bottom of my brewpot. I assume this was the cocoa. I also assume that, since it was there...

I'm doing some beer for my brothers wedding at the end of this month. Our big decision was whether I was going to brew all the beer for the reception, or whether my beer would just be an option. I live in Louisiana so we decided my beer would be only an option. If that's the case for you, then...

Thank you TomOliver.

5 gal IPA 5 gal oaked porter 10 gal white house honey porter 10 gal American amber 20 gal coffee red ale Damn that's more than I thought.

You are right on the money. Except that I believe the type of oak tree makes a difference. Ive never tried though.

Thats the idea behind waiting to dry hop. Ill be aging the beer, then I dry hop so that Im not aging the hop aroma.

I brewed an IPA a few days ago and it came out a bit bigger than I was expecting (1.075). I have read about how the beer will lose its hop aroma about two weeks after kegging, so my question is this: If I want to age my IPA for a few months so it will be smoother, can I just leave it in the...

My House Brew is a fantastic coffee amber ale. I do no more than brew a basic amber ale (midwest supplies autumn amber is great) and a few days before bottling I add 16 oz of COLD BREWED coffee to the 5 gallon batch. After one month its good, after two months it is great. For the cold brewed...

Ok, so now it sounds like I do the whole process as I normally would at home, and just carry back with me (carefully) the next morning with no worry. Correct? This is sounding easier and easier as yall go on.

Shreveport now has a homebrew supply store! Woo Hoo! (Brewniverse, next to Superior steakhouse. Check it out)

The knowledge shared on this site never ceases to amaze me. Now I definitely will brew on Saturday and I'll fly it back on Sunday (I'm a pilot). One last question, do the plastic fermenter buckets hold up fine with the boiling wort? Would it be better to bring my glass carboy? Thank you much.

Has anyone out there brewed a batch at a friends house and then traveled (with your wort) back to your house to let it ferment? If so, any suggestions? (pitch yeast after arriving home; keep it very cold until just before pitching yeast?) I will be going to a friends house this weekend, we may...
