I was hoping for some advice from people who know trucks. I am looking at buying this truck for $800. For some reason he says the mileage is "unkown" but claims it runs well and has a new clutch in it. "Not leaking oil yet..". The reviews I found sound like they last quite a while but I...

I recently learned that one of my favorite micro breweries only lets their beer sit in "primary" for 3 days then it is off to the kegs until it is ready. I could see the HUGE advantage to this and wonder why I never thought of it before. Is this what most micros do?

I haven't been home much for a few months but last time I went back I heard of these Demon Wasps that were terrorizing my roommates. Until I saw the picture I thought they were just being overly dramatic.... not the case.... Look at it! That stinger extends past the end of the photo!!! Anyone...

Can you successfully gravity feed a RIMS tube? I don't want the added expense of a pump, would I be able to set my strike water in a bucket on a ladder and just have gravity feed it through the tube?

After having a smoke with a co-worker she saw me refilling my water bottle. Co-worker: "Don't reuse your bottles! That is so unhealthy for you!" Me: *Facepalm* Outside of a bar talking beer history and general beer geek-age. Patron: "Humans were boiling the water to make it sanitary...

Ok I finally can be certain what dirty beer lines taste like now. It is a flavor I have tasted at a few places over the years but until recently I could not pin point that it was dirty lines. I ordered a Fat Tire at "le olive garden", very fancy place you should try it. Well the beer tasted...

So almost 3 months ago I started working a second job due to my dog dying and having the available hours. I love it for the extra pay and it keeps me from just sitting around. Though, I do not like that it keeps me from my two loves, my girl and my brewing... Both of my jobs are in the same...

I was in an amateur home brew comp this weekend. Only 5 entries but it was very fun to try others brews and for all but mine and one other person, it was their first batch. All of them made some darn tasty drinks but I was curious about one of them. Someone brought a Kiwi Wit for which they...

This is kind of a 2 part review... Anyone ever heard of this company located in Kent? I happened to go into Kirkland this weekend (very rare for me to be in that scene) but it was a place called 212 Bistro. I would like to mention that this bar has a great atmosphere with live music 6 days a...

I'm just starting to get into meads and I am LOVING them. I was curious, when opening should you let the mead breathe before serving and enjoying?

I posted THIS in the classifieds but since it is a local deal only I thought I would link it here as well.

Just had my first Black and Tan last night at a local Irish bar. I wasn't sure what to expect, maybe too much hype... I don't know. I made sure to ask the bartender if the charged for both beers because I have heard of some bars doing that, they did not. Anywho, I thought it was delicious! It...

I have a 6 gallon carboy plus bung. There are no cracks, I just prefer the Better Bottles. I would like to trade for a Better Bottle (at least 6 gal) plus a bung. I would also take 45$. Local pickup only please.

What are your thoughts? I had tried 3 of their beers (pale ale, amber, ???) when I first started getting into better beers and I remember them being pretty tasty. They must have just recently changed their labeling because a 6er of their IPA caught my eye in the store, I have also never seen...

I messed up at the LHBS the other day. I intended to buy 3lbs of Crystal 20L but instead I bought 3lbs of Crystal 120L. I think it is safe to say this will not be anywhere close to an ESB. With the numbers I got from BrewTarget it seems I am making some sort of brown ale. Here is the...

Just curious what the shortest amount of time any of you HBTers have let your sours go before drinking them is. I just read a thread about a 1 month Hefe-sour and it got me thinking. I have a Sour Blonde that is going just over 4 months now, it smells soooooooo delicious but I'm afraid of...

So I bought THIS to test out the "cool-brewing fermentation cooler". But I'm curious if I could use it to read my mash temps. It looks like it is water proof and the site says it can measure liquid so I was thinking of poking a hole in the top of my Round Cooler MLT and just sitting it in...

My dog died this morning. First and only dog I have ever had, he was my best friend. 10 1/2 year old chocolate lab named Buster that was given to me when I was 14. I loved him more than any person I have met. Just needed to get this out somewhere...

I have some cream soda mix on the way and I was just curious... I hear root beer stinks up the lines forever, does cream soda?

Does anyone know of a link or a good source that tells you which glass is intended for which style? Currently I'm looking specifically for what a hefeweizen should be drunk out of so if you only have that info that helps too.
