Hello! I have been reading and posting on this form for a bit now and I never introduced my self. My name is Nathan and I love this site.I'm a developer by day and brew by night. This site has helped me with so many of my beers and diy projects. I recently decided to start a blog sharing...

I'm sure this is already out there but I just stumbled on bells home brew store online . I didn't even know they sold home brew supplies. BEST PRICES ONLINE hands down. I have been looking online all morning for good prices on hops. just got 1lb simcoe for $18 , 1lb columbus $12.60, 1lb...

The best drunk is from a beer you know you made. Life's a brew, drink it.

Wanted to show how well the gelatin works. I'm highly impressed. I had my doubts of how well it would work. Maybe next time I will do a before and after. Life's a brew, drink it.

A little update on my beer. I have pored a few more and it's totally different now. It's tasting way less watery and more malt characters are showing up. Becoming a great tasting ipa. A little side note I did the gelatin clarification process on this batch and it works awesome. This may have...

Has anyone used RO/distilled water and the light and hoppy profile on brewers friend? I did this with my last ipa and it turned out to have little to no malt profile. Really hoppy water. Brewed all grain and my mash temps were on. OG and FG were on. Trying to figure out if it's the recipe ...

Fermentation can still be going with no bubbles. Only thing that will tell you if it's done is a gravity reading. Life's a brew, drink it.

You can do what I did if you have a keezer. I built my chamber on the side and control two computer fans with a stc1000 to blow cool air when needed. My chamber hold two car boys but you could build it bigger. Life's a brew, drink it.

Anyone around the grand lake st Mary's area home brewing? Looking to find some people that share the joy of making beer. Would like to get a group together or join one that may already exist. Life's a brew, drink it.

Pantry pride in st Mary's. You can't mix and match but they get the some things the wine store can not. I've gotten zombie dust there. When it's was in ohio briefly. Life's a brew, drink it.

I have to been learning so much here I thought it was time to share. I added a second keg and another fermentor giving me the ability to brew two beers at a time now. I use to use my keezer as a fermentation chamber while I didn't have any beer in the keg. With the new additions I lost the use...
