I'm just sayin... http://news.yahoo.com/anheuser-busch-tries-block-ohio-152704885.html

Here's an interesting artical I just came across that talks about the continuing decline of some of the top BMC labels. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/nine-beers-americans-no-longer-drink-183045945.html

My wife is my high school sweetheart (from 1974). She is fighting the fight of her life (breast cancer) and is now going thru chemo. Because of the type of her cancer the chemo is kicking her butt! I have four kegs on tap, and they will stay there for the next five months until she is past...

My last 3 or 4 brews I decided to up the grain bill to between 12 and 14 lbs. That gets me between 1.060 and 1.070. Three pints and everybody is happy! Am I the only one that likes to brew higher gravity beers?

Some friends just bought a house (bank foreclosure) and there are hops growing all over the back yard. They said I can have all the hops if I throw them a growler out of each batch I brew. There's probably a couple of pounds in all. Here's the challenge - they don't have a clue what kind of...

I had to talk like a dutch uncle to persuade SWMBO that taking over her soaking tub would be a good thing. Raging Irish Red Ale and an Alaskan Amber (both for an upcoming wedding). We are on a well and the water temp is about 55F. It's been in the low 90's during the day so I recycle the...

I've been using whole leaf hops for dry hopping, but I'm not getting much aroma/hop flavor. I used an ounce of Cascade in my last batch for 7 days. Will pellets impart more flavor or do I simply need to double up my hops?

Gonna brew a Kolsch this weekend and made up a starter yesterday afternoon with 5 oz of DME. It's been about 16 hours and there has barely been any action - just a little gassing, but no foam or any significant sign of fermentation. I shake it up often so it has been getting plenty of oxygen...

I brewed up a batch of Denny Conn's Waldo Lake Amber. I had just tightened up my mill and my OG was 1.072! I used Notty and as usual it tore threw it with a lot of furor. By day 4 it was winding down as normal. Its now been 20 days and I am still seeing quite a bit of off-gassing - air lock...

So I was brewing up a batch of amber ale this morning and pitched my strike water and after adding about the first pound of grain I realized I had not put the manifold back into the MT after cleaning. Damn! Now if I had been drinking a few I could see this happening, but I was stone cold...

It's been cold for several weeks in a row - the high teens at night and a little above freezing during the day. The weather report looked ok for today so I brewed a batch of EdWort's Haus Pale Ale. I boil in the garage (door open) and by boil time it was 27 degrees. It took about 25 minutes...

Beer brewing supplies The deals are out there, just need to watch for them. Unfortunately it is several hours from where I live - dang!

I've got a nice side-by-side fridge setup for two kegs. I also keep my CO2 in the fridge and I keep the temp to about 38 degrees. Winter is coming fast and when it gets down to 0 (or below) outside, the garage may get below freezing. Will the fridge insulation keep my beer from freezing...

... you just finished a bunch of fall yard work and you go into the house to pull a nice cold draft of your favorite brew and there's no pressure? Not sure yet where the leak is, but I'll get the tank recharged and go hunting. My setup is pretty simple, dual gauge regulator, manifold and two...

Looking to start a club in the upper Kittitas County area. Looking for other avenues to get the word out. PM me for more information

Hi everyone, With three AG brews under my belt (Irish Red kit from NB, Blond Ale from recipe DB and an Oktoberfest from recipe DB) I still have so much to learn, but I'm also having a ball! For those of you in other parts of the country, Cle Elum is 90 minutes east of Seattle. We're up in...

Hi guys, Newbe here. Just completed my third AG brew and having a ball. I am trying to calculate my efficiency, but the wort is still pretty hot after sparging so I can't get an accurate reading on the hydrometer. Am I supposed to cool the wort down, measure it and then boil it? I would...
