Hey, recently heard about a western beverages opening with over 100 different craft beers. Looks like the movement is growing here, perhaps a good time for a homebrew shop or at least a guild/group whatever.

in the barbecue world this method of smoking is actually used to make smoked sauces. I imagine it would give a different (read stronger) flavor and aroma to the wort than a smoked grain. I use it quite often to smoke almost all the sauces I make, primarily because I love smoke flavor/aroma...

Honestly I don't imagine there's a whole lot. There's been 3 home brew shops that I can pull up on google that no longer exist. The problems are multiple, wages are lower here, things cost more to ship, and having been here for over a year, searching high and low the only people I have found...

I was never a fan of beer either, actually I quite hated it.....a lot Never understood why anyone in their right mind would drink nasty piss flavored water to get drunk when you could simply drink liquor for a better effect, and it tasted so much better. The extent of my knowledge towards...

The store Frankfurtvr4 described is Coyote Homebrew, its actually a pool store, but the owner is a brewer and has brew supplies in the back. Its not a huge selection, but basic needs stuff is there as well as kits and grain. Some specialty grains, kegging equipment, Carboys. Wine making...

Mr clean Magic erasers, they really are magic :) you can get knock off versions at dollar stores too.

Thanks for the directions! Which side of the city are you on? I'm on the NE side, on Hercules just off Dyer

Nortodan, did you find the homebrew shop here? I went down in that area and asked around, a lot of people have 'heard' of a shop, or knew some guys that talk about it being around but no one knew where it was exactly. And where is the one in NM? Also, any of you guys know where I could...

It means to soften or break up, so crush the fruit a little is what is meant.

Its the fun of coming up with a name and making the label. Some people enjoy it, and some people like yourself don't see it as very useful. Personally I name things and make labels for them all the time, mostly because I'm a graphics designer and I enjoy doing it. Hell I haven't even finished...

Yah i've been poking around everywhere really. Aparently I made a modified versions of Edwort's Apfelwein. I made it about 6 months ago, and just finished off my last bottle, except the one I "lost" for a year. After my Irish stout I'm going to be trying Cheesefood's Vanilla Caramel Cream...
