Check this out, some guys decide to brew in pumpkins. They made a mash tun from one pumpkin and then fermented in another. See the rest of the photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cog_nate/sets/72157602400060222/

I'm watching the show Cities of the Underworld on History. This episode is called "Hitler's Underground Lair" but the second half of it is talking about underground beer cellars dug by Berliners for lagering. It's pretty amazing... I've watched a few episodes of this show now and it's...

I'm in the market for a new propane burner, since my el cheapo burner from Lowe's is busted and the prospect of brewing on the stove in July is not that appealing. Does anyone have any suggestions on burners/turkey fryers? I tried searching around but can't find any conclusive thoughts on...

Here's my Hearty Ale recipe... it's a four grain ale with barley, wheat, rye, and oats. It's a great session beer and I'm probably going to make it my house ale. The brewing method is a mini-mash in the brewpot... the Austin Homebrew method. Recipe: Hearty Ale Style: American Wheat or...

I'm going to Charleston, SC at the end of this month on business and I could use a few tips on things to do, places to eat, places to drink good beer, etc. I think there's a few of you from the area on here, and I'm sure a bunch more of you have visted. Anyway, any info you can provide is...

http://concerts.wolfgangsvault.com/ I read about this site in Rolling Stone... it's a classic rock fan's dream. They've got hundreds of live concert recordings online that you can listen to for FREE (with registration). Everything from Zeppelin to Cream to Hendrix to the Dead, they're all...

I know some people here enjoy bread making as much as they enjoy brewing, so I thought this article from the New York Times might be of interest. A baker in NYC came up with a way to make good bread at home without kneading...

Some days I fall into a rut at work and need a distraction. Lately I've been distracting myself with some articles on beer and homebrewing. I picked through all of this month's BYO articles online, and then read some interviews with PA brewers like Troegs and Victory on Lew Bryson's website...

Back at the end of July I ordered the ingredients two all-grain recipes from Austin Homebrew. They've got this convenient feature where they will mill your grain and put it all into one sealed bag for you, for no extra charge. Loved the idea at the time, talk about convenience! Well, I...

Is there any online homebrew supply site where you can buy bulk DME at a discount? I saw some on Northern Brewer but they don't have many options, so I thought I'd ask. I'm thinking about going back to partial mashes instead of all-grain, so I'd like to get a good stockpile of DME.

For the second time in my short brewing career I've cracked the first bottle of a new batch to find this one particular off flavor which basically renders the whole batch undrinkable. This time it was a Northwest style pale ale, the first time it was a Scotch ale... both all grain recipes. The...

Saw this deal for a freezer from Walmart, $190 online only. I did a search for it on here to see if anyone has used it as a lagering cooler but didn't find anything. It says it has a built-in adjustable thermostat control, but I don't know how accurate it is or what the temperature range is...

Lately I've been getting into recipe formulation so I've been checking out the various homebrew calculators. Specfically I've tried the HBD Recipator and the Promash demo. They're both very good... I love that the Recipator is free and I enjoy the completeness of Promash, but somehow when I...

I found this powerpoint presentation by Bob Hansen of Briess Malts. It's from a presentation he gave at the National Homebrew Convention, with tips for mashing and sparging high gravity beers. A little hard to follow without the presentation audio, but there's lots of interesting charts and...

http://www.wychwood.co.uk/wychwood_circlemaster.htm I'm trying to figure out how to duplicate this beer, which is an English Golden Pale Ale, but I'm a total amateur when it comes to recipes. The webpage says "Plumage Archer Barley Malt", which I have never heard of before... does anyone...

I'm considering getting into kegging my homebrew, since washing 22 oz bottles every few weeks is starting to get tedious. I'd like to do this as cheaply as possible, so I've been trolling eBay for kegs to try and get a deal. I've got a bunch of questions about how I should go about this...

Woo, been a long time since I've posted... I took a break from homebrewing over the winter months... just couldn't bring myself to stand outside in the bitter cold over the propane burner. Anyway, I thought I'd share that Austin Homebrew Supply is having a spring sale, 10% off everything...
